SWOT

Strength
(Every individual has their own strength,and it depends on them on how to use it wisely)
• I can really focus on my studies on any period of time.

• I am a visual learner, that makes me an excellent learner in visual and I am able to learn through diagrams, highlighted notes, flashcards notes and mind map notes.

Weakness
(Every person has their own weakness to bring them down. A fool would let others to use his weakness to beat him, but a wise man would use his weakness as his greatest weapon)
•  I sometimes will procrastinate if I feel like theres something more interesting than studying. For example, playing games.
• I find it hard to switch off my cellular data which is my internet access to my phone. This will definitely cause me a lots of distraction.
• Although I am excellent in studying visually, most of the time I will encounter one big problem. Sometimes I find it hard to understand some topics that I studied.
• Kineastics study style has never been nice to me. That is why I am a terrible learner when it comes to mathematics.

Opportunities
(Where there is will, there is a way. Opportunities are everywhere, it is you who need to grab it)
• I have every devices that I need to enhance my knowledge. For example, I have my phone, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 as my personal source of finding information and knowledge.
• I have great classmates whom excellent in their studies and I am able to ask for their help if I do not know anything that I learn. For example, I always ask my friend, Mak Hou for help I do not understand or a specific topic. He will kindly help me and guide throughout the teaching process.
• I have enough exercise books with a lots of refenrence in my place. I am able to find a lots of informations and learn new things. For wxample, if I wanted to understamd better for my Chemistry subject rather than depending on lecturer's notes, I can revise my Study Guide Book for Chemistry to improve my understanding in chemistry.
• I am lucky to have excellent lecturers in their own field teaching in my class. I feel more motivated everytime they teach and give advices. I will always ask them about the topics which I do not understand well to boost my knowledge.

Threats
(Obstacles will block your pathway preventing you from getting to your goal. Somehow, its either you start hammering the obstacles, push it away or perhaps, just leave it. The choice is yours to make.)
• Sometimes, I am afraid of getting sick and weak. Getting sick will prevent you from studying well and fully focus on your study because sick makes you weak. When you are weak, you will have no energy to do something effectively.
• My phone and laptop is my threat. Both devices have a very strong influences on preventing me from studying. I will sometimes stuck on my phone or laptop for a long period of time.
• Noisy housemates are another threat of mine. Somehow, some of these college housemates will never learn to respect other people's request or privacy. Their noices at night will distueb me from studying effectively and sometimes I cannot even study at all.
