Personal Philosophy Statement

By Erica Keaton

I believe that every person has only one skill, which is the skill to acquire as many skills as he wants. Throughout my life, I have always worked towards acquiring excellence in every task I put my hands on. I have always focused on improving my work ethic and have been adaptable to new changes introduced within the organization. Not only that, my flexible nature and friendly personality make it easy for me to engage and make friends, providing a comfort zone to everyone working with me. I am always open to criticism and respect everyone’s values and opinions. Moreover, in my previous workplaces, I have discovered many of my skills and abilities and have even polished them for performance improvement. Some of these skills that differentiate me are leadership skills, decision-making skills, problem-solving skills, and so on.

I take pride in my core values, and I never compromise on them. My integrity, loyalty, sense of responsibility, and sincerity to work are something that I believe define me. In my opinion, a man is incomplete without core values, regardless of his success in soft skills and competencies. It would be of no use if a person is always punctual and completes his tasks perfectly and on time, but never makes others comfortable around him. If he does not add value to the organization and is not loved and respected by his co-workers, possessing such great skills would rather be a waste.

In my perspective, I bring more to the workplace than just my skills. I bring in transparency, flexibility, and my motivation to strive to put all my heart into my commitment. However, I think a person can never be perfect. There always is room for growth. There might be many areas where I would need to learn and grow, and I would not hesitate in acknowledging my mistakes, as they would always make me learn and grow into a better version of myself.

I have learned that it is important to acquire a habit to evaluate ourselves, as it would contribute towards long-term progress and success. Moreover, I also incorporate such self-evaluation methods to achieve self-satisfaction and increase my self-esteem, which is important for a healthy mindset. I wish to stay present-minded, mindful and focused so that unnecessary distractions do not affect my work. This way, any situation can be a win-win for both my organization for me..
