BUILD ON YOUR

STRENGTHS AND WORK


ON YOUR WEAKNESSES
FAILURE
Most failures come from weaknesses
that are not recognized or probably
recognized but not given appropriate
attention or remedy.
BUILD ON YOUR
STRENGTHS AND WORK
ON YOUR WEAKNESSES
Instead of giving up or
indulging in self-pity, TAKE
ACTION.
Instead of simply focusing on
your weaknesses, recognize
your talents and abilities, build
on them and utilize them to your
greatest advantage.
Fatima Soriano
Singer, Songwriter, and Radio Anchor

Fatima is a beloved singer who has played concerts for jam-packed


audiences since she was a child. By age 20, she survived end-stage kidney
failure, penned and performed household hits such as “God Bless You,
Mama Mary Loves You,” and had become the youngest-ever anchor on
Philippine radio, hosting a show on DZMM, the nation’s top AM station. Her
inspirational life story has been portrayed on TV’s Maalaala Mo Kaya.
Jomar Maalam
Swimmer

Although still a teenager, Jomar has already made


waves in the country’s biggest sporting event,
Palarong Pambansa. He grew up swimming around
the seas of Zamboanga del Sur, alongside fishermen
who were comfortable in the water. He made history
as the first amputee athlete to represent Region 9.
Though he has no legs, he is a passionate athlete
who continues to push himself to compete with
people with and without disabilities alike.
A diving accident left Jovy Sasutona
paralyzed from the neck down when he was
17. But it didn't dampen his passion to paint.
Sasutona has been painting with his mouth for
24 years, and has mastered the technique,
painstakingly burnishing the details of his still
life. Sometimes he paints from his bed, lying
down. In 2013, the Philippine Postal
Corporation showcased some of his work on a
line of Christmas-themed stamps. He’s also
been honored internationally, winning first
Jovy Sasutona prize in the 2007 International Art Competition
of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting
Painter
Artists held in Vienna, Austria.
Let’s chat!
By taking the time to reflect on our strengths and weaknesses, we can better
understand ourselves and use this knowledge to grow and improve. Here's an
activity to get you started:

1. Take a moment to think about something you're good at - it can be anything


from a skill to a personal quality.
2. Now, think about something that you find challenging - this can also be a skill
or a personal trait that you struggle with.
3. Find a partner to share with and discuss your strengths and challenges with
each other. Encourage each other to think about ways to build on strengths
and overcome challenges. By sharing with a partner, we can gain new insights
and perspectives that can help us in our personal growth.
