導(dǎo)讀：Our personal strengths are part of what makes us unique as individuals, and part of the value we offer to the world around us. If we're not aware of our personal strengths, however, we don't always utilize them as fully as we could, and we potentially miss out on true fulfilment in our lives and careers.
每個(gè)人不一樣的優(yōu)點(diǎn)造就了我們每個(gè)人的唯一性，我們也能用我們的優(yōu)點(diǎn)為周圍的人提供幫助，如果我們還不知道自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，就沒法充分地利用它，我們也可能就錯(cuò)過了實(shí)現(xiàn)我們個(gè)人的價(jià)值和成就事業(yè)的機(jī)會。
Notice what you enjoy
留心一下自己喜歡的是些什么
The kinds of activities we enjoy doing are often an indicator of the skills we naturally enjoy. Take a few moments to think about the things you really love to do, and look at the underlying elements that enrich these experiences for you. Can you see any patterns or shared skills among these things?
我們很喜歡做的往往就暗含著我們原本就很喜歡用的方法，花幾分鐘去思考一下你真正喜歡做的是什么，找出能增加你經(jīng)驗(yàn)的重要因素。看看你是否能找到一些固定的模式，或者一些共通方法呢?
Ask trusted friends and family
問問你信賴的家人和朋友
Sometimes it can be hard to judge our strengths with accuracy. Many of us come from cultures where it's polite to be modest, and this can make it hard to identify our own strengths without any outside help. Ask trusted friends or family who know you well what they think your personal strengths are, and see if any of the answers surprise you.
有時(shí)我們自己很難精準(zhǔn)的找出我們自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。許多人所認(rèn)可的文化是謙遜禮貌型的，所以如果沒有別人的幫助，我們很難弄清我們自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。問問你信賴的家人和朋友，在他們心中你的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是什么，看看是否會有讓自己吃驚地答案出現(xiàn)呢?
What qualities do you like in yourself?
你喜歡自己身上的哪些品質(zhì)呢?
The qualities you particularly like about yourself will give you some indication of your personal strengths. For example, if you like the fact that you stick to your goals and see them through, even when the going gets tough, one of your personal strengths might be discipline or determination.
你喜歡自己身上的這些品質(zhì)特點(diǎn)往往也暗示著你個(gè)人的優(yōu)點(diǎn)哦。比如，你喜歡你自己堅(jiān)持完成目標(biāo)，并一直付諸行動的特點(diǎn)。尤其是當(dāng)事情變得棘手的時(shí)候，你的優(yōu)點(diǎn)就會變成堅(jiān)持做完這件事的決心。
What kind of work do you do and what makes you good at that work?
你做的是什么工作呢?是什么讓你勝任這份工作的呢?
Think about what you enjoy about your work and why. If you're struggling to find much that is enjoyable, consider what's missing instead.
仔細(xì)想想你喜歡做什么樣的工作?為什么喜歡?如果你很難找出你喜歡的，思考一下，是不是其中卻少了點(diǎn)什么。
Take an online test
做個(gè)在線測試
If you want a more impartial reflection of your personal strengths, try taking one of the many available online tests.
如果你想要一個(gè)更公正的反映你優(yōu)點(diǎn)的方法，那就試試一些網(wǎng)絡(luò)的在線測試吧
What leaves you feeling energised?
是什么讓你覺得精神百倍呢?
We've already looked at the activities and skills you enjoy, and now it's time to look at what leaves you feeling energised. Another way of approaching this is to think back to times you were in what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes as “flow”。 When we are in “flow”， time passes quickly and we feel engrossed in the task at hand. Looking at the skills required for these tasks will give you further clues about your personal strengths.
我們已經(jīng)討論了你喜歡的活動和方法，現(xiàn)在也該找出讓你精神百倍的原因了。另一個(gè)方法就是回想米哈里?契克森米哈賴教授在“流模型”中所提到的時(shí)間問題。在這個(gè)“流模型”中，當(dāng)我們沉迷于正在進(jìn)行的工作的時(shí)候，我們就會感覺的精力充沛，時(shí)間過得也非�？�。找到做這些工作所需的技能也會為你找出自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)提供更多的線索哦。
What makes you proud?
是什么讓你引以為豪?
Think about three instances in your life when you really felt proud of the way you acted or responded. What was it about your action or response that left you feeling proud? What values did you display and why do you feel proud of the way you acted?
想想讓你在生活中真正引以為豪的三個(gè)例子，是你的什么行動或反應(yīng)讓你覺得很自豪呢?是什么原因讓你覺得很自豪呢?你是因?yàn)槟愕哪男┬袨橛X得很自豪呢?
Who are your role models? What strengths do you admire in them?
誰是你的偶像呢?他們的哪些品質(zhì)是你所敬佩的呢?
Most of us have role models in our business and personal lives, and these can provide clues to our own personal strengths. Look for the strengths you admire about your particular role models, then think about whether you demonstrate any of those strengths yourself.
在我們工作和生活中，偶像的一些優(yōu)點(diǎn)也能幫助我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，找出偶像身上你特別敬佩的那些優(yōu)點(diǎn)，然后思考你自己是不是也有這些優(yōu)點(diǎn)
What feedback do you notice from people in day-to-day life?
在平時(shí)的生活中別人反饋給你的是一些什么信息?
This tip might sound similar to number 2, but there's a crucial difference: Whereas the second tip involved approaching and asking people for feedback, this tip involves looking for feedback in everyday interactions. This is useful as it can provide a more accurate reflection of how other people truly perceive your strengths, rather their self-reported perception.
這一點(diǎn)可能看起來與第二點(diǎn)相似，但這里有一個(gè)很重要的區(qū)別：第二點(diǎn)它包含試探和詢問別人的意見，而這一點(diǎn)涉及你在與別人的交流互動中尋找獲得反饋信息。這一點(diǎn)是很有用的，因?yàn)樗梢詮膭e人客觀的感知中提供給你一個(gè)更準(zhǔn)確的反饋信息，而不是他們主觀的感知。
Which strengths resonate with you?
你所贊同的是你的哪些優(yōu)點(diǎn)?
