Most people think they know everything about yourself - especially about their abilities. As a rule, they are wrong. Usually a really good they only know what they are untalented. But the result is what is achieved by the strengths, talents, abilities and aptitudes. You can not get high quality results in the activities for which you have no skills, not to mention the activities to which you have an aversion.Just a few decades ago, the man had no reason to know about their abilities. At that time, the scope and origin of your post. Peasant's son became a farmer, and if he had no talent for this work, he was doomed to stagnation. Son became a craftsman artisan, etc. Everyone has a choice. Therefore, to find his place in life, it is necessary to know more about their abilities.Define the capabilities and strengths can be only one way - through the analysis of the result (or, in other words, the feedback). Every time you make an important decision or making a decisive action, we have to take a pen and write down what you expect to achieve. Nine to twelve months later, map the actual development of the situation with their forecasts. Personally, I do it 15-20 years and every time, by comparing the result with the weather, I come to wonder. The same awaits anyone who would resort to this method.For two or three years, by analysis of the results can get complete information about your strong points, and this is exactly what you need to know about yourself in the first place. Analysis of the results allows us to see what action (or lack thereof) has resulted in inefficient use of capacity. It will show what knowledge you are missing and what skills you have not, therefore, in what area you will accomplish nothing.
