A prominent research psychologist named Christopher Peterson spent 3 years studying people's personal strengths. He wrote a book about it with former APA president Martin Seligman called "Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification." The famous Harvard professor Howard Gardner called it "one of the most important initiatives in psychology of the past half century." Psychology had already spent over 90% of its focus on weaknesses. And it turns out that except in cases of weaknesses so severe you can't function, it's better to focus on your strengths. Basically, they found that personal strengths are pretty universal, and this is true whether you look at different cultures or different times in history. They identified 24 strengths like this. For a complete list with descriptions of each, go to the "List of personal strengths" page in the "Related Links" section below, or do a Google search for "list of personal strengths, psychology research". When you look over the list, try to identify several strengths that sound like they're YOU. Then think of ways you can put these strengths into practice in your everyday life. Make a concrete list of things to do, and then do them. This has been shown to help make people lastingly happier. If you're willing to spend a couple hours doing this in more depth, psychologists have created a survey that will identify your strengths for you using validated scientific methods. Go to the "Authentic Happiness: Using the new Positive Psychology" page in the "Related Links" section below, or do a Google search for "VIA strengths survey". It's on the University of Pennsylvania web site. Registration is free and you won't get any junk mail. (The site is run by Ivy League research psychologists.) You can even go back later and take the survey again and compare to your saved result from before. Be happier by building on your strengths!

The activity that you do best-your strong point- might be called your what?
The activity that you do best, or your strong point, is often referred to as your "strength" or "core competency." It represents the skills or talents in which you excel and can consistently perform at a high level. This could also be described as your "unique selling proposition" in a professional context or simply your "talent" in a broader sense. Recognizing and leveraging this strength can lead to greater personal and professional fulfillment.
How do personal ethics affect professional ethics?
Personal ethics shape an individual's values, beliefs, and decision-making processes, which directly influence their professional conduct. When personal ethics align with professional standards, individuals are more likely to act with integrity and accountability in the workplace. Conversely, a disconnect between personal and professional ethics can lead to ethical dilemmas and compromised decision-making. Ultimately, personal ethics serve as the foundation for establishing a strong ethical framework in professional settings.
