meaning of "do you recognize yourself"
Hi! I wrote the script of a video but Im not english, and I received some critics from a native english speaker, that my script contained grammar mistake. Could somebody check it for me? The text is the following:
" Discipline.... Endurance... Power... Do you recognize yourself?"
My intention was to ask whether the listener finds the first three qualities in himself, but maybe I should have used: "Do you find theese in yourself?" I Don't know... Do you think the first version makes sense too? Thanks a lot for helping me I feel myself embarrassed..
" Discipline.... Endurance... Power... Do you recognize yourself?"

Thank you! Can you check the video itself? The text is in its first 15 seconds. While we listen to the text, we see a guy doing exercises. So the question "Do you recognize yourself?" could refer a little to the guy too. I had to use short "calling" words, in order to make the video interesting.
