"Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing" -Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi
One of my other top strengths is adaptability, which is arguably the most important skill for a journalist to possess. In a profession that changes rapidly on a daily basis, a career in journalism demands extraordinary flexibility, requiring its constituents to accept new assignments and developments in short periods of time. Additionally, the field is constantly evolving in the long run, and journalists have often had to make the transition from traditional media to more digital and socially interactive outlets. The next decade may bring about something else entirely. A good journalist with the quality of adaptability cannot be intimated by change; rather, they should embrace it.
Rounding out my top three is the strength of intellect. Part of being competitive and adaptable is the ability to think of alternatives and make coherent plans. In order to keep cool under pressure, journalists must be able to think, and must enjoy thinking, as Strengthsquest indicated. It is vital to be comfortable with logical and rational reasoning, which strengthens both immediate and long-term focus for maximum quality and productivity.
