When it comes to choosing a career, it is vital to
know what your weaknesses and strengths are. In college, they stress the
importance of knowing weaknesses and strengths when choosing a major because if
someone is not successful in public speaking, they would not become a lawyer or
a teacher. I think that my strength is in deductive reasoning. Deductive
reasoning is going from the general to the specifics, or also from cause to effect.
I believe that this is a very good quality to have in the career of a lawyer. I
want to pursue a career in law and I think knowing how to recognize the cause
and the effect of a crime or issue would help win cases. It’s good to know what
you are good at when picking a major or a career because it’ll be more
enjoyable. Not knowing what you’re good at can result in changing majors
multiple times and not being good at the career you chose.
Knowing what are our weaknesses and strengths are really necessary in choosing our careers. When we have good understanding of ourselves, we will not go against our strengths and pick a totally not related major. With the help of our strengths, that can colorful our college life and even our future. Thus, our strengths can make our lives much easier if we make good use of that. You are choosing the excellent major in order to pursuit a career in law. Lawyer needs to be clear minded and have objective opinions. Since your strength is deductive reasoning, that can surely assist you in your future career.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you on this. I think that if you don't know your strengths and weaknesses, you can end up choosing a career that doesn't fit you. You might even end up hating the job because you were not made for something that requires you to be strong in areas you are not strong in. I like that you know exactly want to do, but I think that people with undeclared majors can learn a lot from this section. If you find out what your strengths and weaknesses are when it comes to reasoning, then you can pursue a career that fits you in the right, instead of picking something quickly that doesn't fit who you are.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the fact that deductive reasoning is an essential characteristic one must possess in order to become a lawyer. You will easily be able to deduct people's claims and figure out whether or not people are telling the truth or lying. Then having the characteristic will also allow you to put pieces together in cases that require more critical thinking. These strengths will ultimately help you pursue your career as a lawyer and figuring out what your strengths actually are could help people who don't know what pathway they are taking potentially find out what they want to do with their lives.
