including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs,
motivation, and emotions. It allows you to understand other
people, how they perceive you, your attitude and your
responses to them in the moment. Self Awareness is also
about how you see people belonging to different cultures

your attention on the details of your personality, behavior
and emotions. It isnt learned from reading a book. It is
learnt from experience gained out of your comfort zone.
