Do you abuse and/or misuse your personal strengths?

Question

Have you caught yourself abusing and/or misusing your specific strengths....examples including but not limited to good looks, high intelligence, physical strength, size, high position in a company or status, a lot of money, etc.......in an effort to get what you want while ?
perhaps you've done this by accident or on purpose....what do you think?

Answer 1

I used to do that earlier in my life, but think twice now before doing it. Maturity you can say. In my case, it was intelligence and knowledge and I was trying to dominate other people because of it, thinking that I am a better person. Now I don't. I know that I am given these assets to help others.

That depends directly on your ethics and how far you want or can go for to get your own objectives. Anyway, you get a better use to your inner stregths you get to know them and at the end of the day there are tools to be used. It is your desition wether or not to use them. Sometimes you'll find yourself using them before you actually know you are doing it because unconciously the question has already been answered and, in such cases is no accident. Think of it what would survival intinct would use for you to keep going?

No I keep it hidden, because I am a modest person and don't like to show off, gloat or rub it in to hurt people's feelings. Maybe when I was younger.
