Heading to...?

Dear all,

There are critical moments in life when one asks oneself:

What to do with my life?

Numerous books and articles have been written on this topic. What they suggest is:

- The assumption that you can follow your dreams after having raised enough money is false, as one freeze dreams because they die in time. Fulfilling one's dreams is liberating and makes one happier even having less cash. Postponing to fulfill one's dream is wrong as time flies and without something personal negatively impacting one's life, the dream will be abandoned.

- Using logical reasoning to solve this problem usually only leads to answers that make the brain happy and jobs that provide "brain candy." Intense mental stimulation. Thus, the right question to ask is not "what am I good at?", but "what would stimulate me for a year or something that I can be passionate about for 10 year?"

- Thirdly, the right question to ask when searching for a job is not "what will I do?", but "who will I become?" This is because once rooted in a particular system, it's often agonizingly difficult to unravel oneself from its values, practices, and rewards. In other words, one needs to find a job that complies with one's values and principles.

- Lastly, it's very important to ask oneself the question "what to do with my life?" and think about it seriously. Let yourself time to consider several options and check whether they are in line with your inner self. One needs to be aware that the more options one has, the more difficult it is to answer the Question.

In line with a previous post on whether to return to Romania after finishing your studies, here is a survey made by the Association of Romanian Students and Scholars at Princeton University. These findings call for the need to bring together high potential young individuals, to create a platform for them to network and develop future businesses in Romania.

Here is the presentation.
