Discussion on Self-Assessment and Resilience

Self-assessment is a relevant tool for measuring growth and accomplishments. When carrying out self-assessment, it is important to start by stating your accomplishments or how much you have achieved, depending on what you had set out to do. Patience is vital in self-evaluation since the lack thereof discourages someone, despising the work one has done to improve and diminishing any hope of working on shortcomings and failures in the process. In addition, beginning with accomplishments helps one to see that they have the potential to work and achieve something. These accomplishments are measured against preset standards or metrics. When stating accomplishments, the degree to which a particular achievement was similar to the metric is identified, and at the end of the self-assessment process, one realizes that their achievements exceeded their shortcomings. Therefore, beginning with accomplishments enables one to see that they have the potential to work and achieve and proves that one has achieved more than their expectations, encouraging them to develop the skills they are not proficient in.
