People come in various types and flavors. Knowing the type of person you are will definitely help you overcome your weaknesses and harness your strengths to achieve your goals. For my part, I was finally able to pinpoint the salient trait of my personality: I am a starter.
Though I excel at kicking projects, I most often than not lack motivation and stamina to carry on. I eventually end up losing pace and gradually abandoning what I had once started with unparalleled enthusiasm.
While this can be heavily penalizing in individual projects, it is in fact an invaluable asset when in comes to teamwork. As a matter of fact, starting can be a daunting task for many, and thus having a person in the team who can pull the trigger is always welcome. However, there is one imperative condition: having a finisher in the team.
Any finishers out there?
PS: I vowed to myself that this website will be the beginning of my personality shift. Care to witness? Stay tuned long enough.

A finisher is definitely not what you need, as you are a great finisher yourself (except that you finish way too early!!). Being a starter is really good, with some training and discipline you can become a good re-starter, finding the enthousiasm and the motivation to restart what you’ve finished (finished off would be more accurate, as you kill the projects before they reach adulthood!). Now that you vowed to yourself to change that, through this very lab (kinda fun we can say KAISHisIN LAB, doing human experimentation on himself!); and made us witnesses, you HAVE to achieve that! Moreover, let me remind you of your own moto:”Dedication, Diligence and Discipline” here is one more you should add “Determination”, 4D (kinda fun too cause it’s considered that the 4th dimension is time, and determination is to stay focused on your objective for enough time to reach it). Concerning me, I’m definitely not a good starter nor a good finisher, but I like to believe that I have some assets which I like to think make me useful (^_^)

As always, thanks for your presence. There are two particular points in your comment that caught my attention:
>The 4th D is awesome. Now that you mention it I don’t know how I missed it in the first place.
>Again, I salute your sharpness. I bet you are the only one who noticed the IN LAB part of KaishinLab. That is not a mere coincidence, as the logo clearly depicts that as well (but there is more to it ^^).
You definitely have assets. I know some of them, but I’d rather let you think what you like
