Self Understanding

Who am I?

 

             First step toward success is to find an answer of "Who am I?".

             Many peoples start their career without knowing themselves. So they fail in their aim. We all have our own unique pattern of abilities, interests and personality traits. Self-understanding pinpoints what your likes, dislikes, strengths and other traits are, and inspires personal growth by helping you define your identity.

             Asking yourself questions such as "who am I?" and "where do I want to be?'' is important when considering what career decisions and directions you want to take. Career success and satisfaction relies heavily on whether or not you enjoy the work you are doing. Having a clear idea about your own personal interests is one of the first steps in making a good career decision. Stop and ask yourself: What makes you happy? What hobbies and academic subjects do you enjoy? What are things you like to do in your free time?

Quotes on Self Understanding:

                              “Greater in battle

                                than the man who would conquer
                                a thousand-thousand men,
                                is he who would conquer
                                just one —
                                himself.
                                Better to conquer yourself
                                than others.
                                When you've trained yourself,
                                living in constant self-control,
                                neither a deva nor gandhabba,
                                nor a Mara banded with Brahmas,
                                could turn that triumph
                                back into defeat.” 

                                                                -Gautam Buddha

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.” 

                                                           ― Swami Vivekananda
