Today marks the beginning of a new life.
I dare not say 'vow' but I will try my best to make changes to my life; I want to live my life to the fullest (as cliche as it may sound) and not short change myself or any one else.
Just by spending a short 20 minute talk to my mentor, I've realised that I need to work more on developing myself not only as an individual but as someone contributing to the corporate world.
Just by reading people's tweets and blogs that I suddenly understood that if I would want to carve something out for myself, I have to work thrice as hard and start thinking thrice as hard. I have to learn how to think and work in a creative and strategic manner. I have to learn how to be systematic, have opinions of my own that matter to others, have objective yet persuasive views and of course, be confident of myself.
Not only career wise but on a more personal level, I have to develop my own set of valuable skills. I need more soft skills. I want to be able to "something different and valuable". I want to be an asset.
Today marks the end of a life I previously led.
Today marks the beginning of a life I will now lead.
As I turn 22 today, I make this promise to myself.
