Parse through myself

Yesterday, my friend asked me an interesting question: Do you know yourself ?

I was shocked right there.

At 24, I have no idea who I am (in some higher senses). What's my strength?

What's my weakness? I open my eyes everyday to look at the world around me

and try to understand my homework, research, family, friends, and teachers

without analyzing myself. Do I satisfy with my current self? If not, what's my

expectation about myself?

I am not pretty sure how many people in the world actually know what they

want and who they are. However, this is definitely new for me and I would like

to look into this in the coming few months.

My weakness:

1. Procrastinate the important and urgent things all the time

-I somehow believe I can do it at the last minute

2. High dignity

- Whenever I got criticized or condemned, I will fight back.

3. Pursue for perfection

- Even though I know there is no perfection, I still take it as my

rule of thumb for everything

My strengths:

1. Ability to help others to learn - I am a good teacher

2. Determination and perseverance - Once I knew what's my aim, I hold to it firmly.

3. Connect people around me together- function as a bridge does.

4. Daredevil - have no fear of what I really want to accomplish no matter how hard it is.

Characteristics I am pursuing ( possibly me in my future/dream)

1. Be a first-rate YiLin rather than second-rate somebody. I am unique

2. To be able to explain ideas concisely and clearly (By speaking and writing)

3. Understand how to communicate with people around me. Learn how to respect others

from inside and how to encourage / help others around me. Give honest and sincere

appreciation

4. Find what I really want and lead a joyful life/

5. Take it easy in life.
