My idiosyncrasies
Introduction
Self-understanding is one of the most powerful tools that one can use for both personal
and professional development. Creating a highly impressionable and unforgettable brand of
yourself is a process that takes time and commitment. To achieve this, one must conduct a self-
assessment, to discover and gather as much information about him or herself. All humans have

always try to find a way of accommodating the variances and finding a way of surviving. No

The strength of understanding has helped me grow and maintain personal and professional
