Strengths Explorers

Here are my strengths and what they mean.

1. Achieving
This is what my achieving strength means:
You have more energy and more goals than other people. You love a sense of accomplishment. You are in a hurry to get started and make things happen because you almost always have a list in your mind of the things you want to get done. It is fun to achieve small goals and even more exciting to achieve big goals that challenge you. The more you get done, the more you feel like a successful person. And the more successes you have, the more you want to have. Finishing a project feels good to you because you love a sense of accomplishment. An award, a good grade, or praise can mean a lot to you because it feels good when your effort and ability are noticed. Because you are a hard worker, you always feel that you could and should be doing more.

2. Organizing
This is what my organizing strength means:

Scheduling, planning, and organizing your world makes life better. People count on you to get the details right and pull a plan together. You like to create order in your world. Schedules help you feel in control of your life. Planning makes you comfortable and calm about what you are going to do. It is fun to think ahead, organize, and include all that you want to do in your plan so you don’t leave anything out. You like to think about both the big ideas and the details. It feels good to make something absolutely perfect, whether it is as simple as your hair or as complicated as a big project for school. It is important to you to be on time or even early so you are ready to start whatever you are about to do. Not only do you like order and rules for yourself, you like them for other people too. You help yourself and others by pulling all the pieces together.

3. Presence
You were born to be at the front of the room telling stories and taking the lead. Other people watch you and listen to you. You are a natural at commanding attention. You may do this in small ways or in big ways, but you are better at it than most people, and it gives you power over a group. Sometimes humor is the way you get a group excited. You might tell a funny joke or story that helps others relax and feel connected to each other. Sometimes your leadership is more serious. Maybe there is something important to be done, and you are the spokesperson who can get the message out to people in a way that makes them want to be involved. You might someday be a teacher, a politician, a speaker, a comedian, a preacher, or a business leader. Whatever you choose to be, you are likely to have others listening to the words you speak. You naturally create an audience.

Using a Compass To Draw Circles

Using a Compass To Draw Circles

This morning I have learnt how to use a compass. A compass is a tool you use to make perfect circles.

On a compass there is a spike so your compass can stay where you want it to, a handle to hold the compass and a hole with an adjuster so you can have your pencil staying in the hole while you draw.

 You twist the compass while holding the handle, the spike should be sitting in a tiny hole in the paper. At the same time the pencil should be drawing a circle.

A compass is a very useful math's tool and it helps you draw circles to measure.
