Figuring out who you are?
I'm 66 and still figuring out that one and sometimes I surprise myself! You can't figure out 100% who you are because you are always learning until the day you die. One thing …you can strive for are these great characteristics: .
Loyalty .
Honorable .
Empathy for others .
Helping others out in need such as volunteering a few hours of your time .
Stick by family and friends or a mate 100% if they deserve it. .
Give respect and expect it back .
Know right from wrong (99% of us know the difference) .
Have some sort of Christian faith of your choice as it keeps you on the straight and narrow. .
Never be afraid to tell a person you don't understand what they are talking about and ask them to explain it. This is important! Don't feel you are stupid for asking because it's only a stupid person who thinks they know everything. .
Give your all in life and sometimes you will lose, but sometimes you win. Never let the things you lose in life get you down because the old saying 'when a door closes a window opens' which simply means one part of your life closes, but there is another opportunity in the future. As far as wondering what you might be in the future regarding your career; where you want to be in ten years, don't push yourself and pay more attention to those around you. Get in the habit of 'people watching' and 'listening to what others say' and you'll learn a lot and doors of opportunity can open up for you. Savor life and enjoy your youth because it goes by at the speed of light. Travel if you want too, take courses in College (you can always change courses if you don't like the career you have chosen.) Be honest with yourself and point out your good characteristics. Example: If you are loving and caring then look for work in Health Care ... doctor, nurse, psychologist/psychiatrist, etc. Sometimes when we have a little fun in life and enjoy our family and friends and even travel for a few months to a year it puts a whole different perspective on what you want to be and what you are all about. Keeping learning and knowledge is the basis of a good character even if you aren't famous. (MORE)
