"Know thyself." is the age old saying. Basing on this one must know his Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. In short it is known as SWOT analysis. It should be the endeavor of every person to build on his strengths and dilute his weaknesses. At the same time one should be vigilant on his Opportunities and utilize them . Threats can be avoided with proper planning so that the road blocks and hindrances can be visualized before hand.

Few of the points touched ..

Yes Kalyani, it is a good article written by a wise and very mature thinker who must have come across a wide range of people from different backgrounds and studied them !

Seeing into yourself leads you into hitherto unknown worlds to you. Once, when there arose a situation when the regular translator of English morning news paper clippings was absent. Public Relations department is supposed to place all the morning news about the Steel plant by 9 AM every morning.As a stop gap arrangement, I was asked to translate English news clippings into Telugu. There was no option left before me but to start the translation with doubt and shaking hands and presented before the CEO.The rest was History. The CEO was damn pleased with my Translation. He left a note to my officer saying, " From now on Rambau will translate.

 Since then i started both English and Telugu translations. Over a period I made the Standing orders of the company which had gone up to Delhi and won me many laurels.

There is no alternative to assess one's strong and weak points regularly. This enables retaining the strong and discarding the weak. One myst constantly monitor his activities- official, social, family- and endeveour to improve self. 

Yes. A lion while going for its hunt, looks back after every few steps. This process of looking back is known as " SIMHAVALOKANAM  in Sanskrit. It means looking back and reviewing like a lion.

The same is true for humans too.It is highly essential for self searching from time to time.

Its a a very thought provoking article. The writer has rightly mentioned that one needs to practise patience and determination on daily basis to remove our weaknesses. A person often resort to self introspection and realises what his weaknesses are but does not have the patience to correct his mistake and end up just as before.
