A PetiX Life

"In short, your strengths allow you to be a visionary — able to extrapolate and come up with a multitude of fresh ideas. And you are in good company — bask in the brilliance of Word Warriors who have walked before you. William Shakespeare let loose the power of his pen. His ability to articulate the most subtle nuances of human nature and to create colorful characters are why his stories still have a major impact — even 400 years after he first wrote them. Whether you put pen to paper or use your understanding of the words around you to come up with creative approaches to problems, your potential as a Word Warrior is terrific."

Did I make a mistake in the career change I’ve just made? har har har

Of course not! We might be good in one thing, but it doesn’t mean we can’t be happy doing something else. I suppose we’ve all been told by our parents, teachers, or people we look up to to do something that we can be good at. It makes sense, doesn’t it? But would it still make sense if the one thing we’re good at is not the same thing that makes us happy? We can be good at art, for example, but what if becoming the next Picasso won’t exactly light our fire? Instead of finding that place where we’re good at, why not find a place where we’ll be happy? If you’re happy doing something, you can work at being good at it later on.

Knowing where we’re good at is not a mystery to be solved. Knowing comes naturally because nobody knows yourself better than yourself. But finding out where you’ll be happy would take a little more effort because you won’t know unless you’ve tried being in a new situation or have gotten a glimpse of what it would be like. I suppose some people find their place quite easily while others take great pains to search for their spot. Finding your place takes some time, it’s never served on a silver platter. The thing about finding your place is, you have to live the experience first which, for some people, is already too long to wait.
