Knowing the strengths and weaknesses one possesses, an individual can determine who he is and what he will be able to achieve in life. My greatest strength is the fact that I can perform extremely well in stress

As far as I can remember, I have always performed better and worked more efficiently when the atmosphere around me has been tense. An abnormal quality I agree, but a very useful one. Scenario one: I have just started studying for an exam to be given in seven hours; I need to study at least seven hours to achieve the desired grade.

Most likely result: I will accomplish the set goal, but my grade will be less than what I hoped to achieve.

One might argue that this is just a sugar coated version of procrastination; I call it a coping strategy.
