Strengths:
I am at the age of 77 years old someone with a proven track record of self-discipline and perseverance.....
I am also a kind, gentle, sensitive, and caring individual. Given the way the world works and what I have seen, I don't think those qualities should be taken for granted or dismissed at my age.
I would add one strength that is truly unique and over which I have never had any control. Since college, I have discovered that people want or need to speak to or unburden themselves to me. All I do is "to listen." I think in the world at large many feel the need to talk and be heard, but there are relatively few people who are able to be present and truly "listen" to what it is others have to say.
I have also learned how to celebrate the strengths and achievements of others.
Thank you smallwhite.
Edit: on 7.12.18 to include "listening."
Your strengths and do you take advantage of them
