How Do I Identify My Personal Strengths?
In What-i-am-thinking, I mentioned the question "How does Mental Me ensure Physical Me moves in the right direction?" One critical factor is identifying my personal strengths. Through the following questions and reflections, I successfully mapped out my own.
1. What does my life trajectory look like?
| Period | Age | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| 1995.01.04 – 2000.09.01 | 0–5 | Born in a small village; stayed there for 5 years |
| 2000.09.01 – 2018.07.01 | 5–23 | Kindergarten and primary school in my village; middle school in the neighboring village; high school at the county No.1 High School; university in Hubei, majoring in Mechanical Engineering |
| 2018.07.01 – 2023.03.28 | 23–28 | Job-hunted in Beijing and Shanghai in 2018; worked at an escape room company from 2019 to 2023 |
| 2023.03.28 – Present | 28–31 | Spent 1 month doing qualification agency work in Taiyuan; since then, living off recording courses and stock trading |
2. What scenarios have others actively sought my help?

3. What makes me feel proud or genuinely interested?
- Gaokao English — I knew before starting that I would get every multiple-choice question right
- Broad curiosity — Dabbled in many fields, especially programming
- Business execution — How to acquire customers, calculate costs and profits, prepare detailed plans
4. How do I filter and rank options?
Use AI to generate fixed sets of words, images, audio, and video for filtering.
5. How do I make decisions when facing uncertain difficulties?
Use AI to generate a realistic, identity-stripped dilemma that requires coordinating third-party resources and is experiential. Experience it first, then respond.
6. What are my tastes in music and art?
Use AI to generate works across different categories, select and critique them, then evaluate.
7. What have I wanted to do but never done?
List everything I've seen but never experienced, and record the feelings.
Through these seven dimensions, I gradually pieced together a relatively clear "strength map" of myself.
