"Your vision will become clear
only when you look into your
own heart. Who looks outside,
dreams; who looks inside, awakes."
Carl Jung
What is the important thing in life to you?
Where do you feel like you are helping people?
What do you not get bored with?
What problems of the world would you like to prevent?
The things that interest you
are not random.
They are connected with your 'Why'.
Your 'Why' is not just a dream, or your
dream job. It's your ethos, who you
are. What are you curious about?
What problems of the world would you
like to prevent? Bring out your genius.
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit;
Genius hits a target no one else can see."
Arthur Schopenhauer
"It never was about figuring out what you wanted
to be when you grew up. It was always about
embracing and making the best of who you
already are."
Leonard Joseph, developer of deiterLine
"Think about what you're passionate about. I
did not learn something early enough: if I could
go back, I'd tell the younger me that there's a
big difference between loving to work and
loving the work."
Tim Cook, Apple CEO
"My wish is that this will provide a positive
message to the young girls who would like to
follow the path of science, and show them that
some in science can also have an impact through
the research that they are performing."
Emanuelle Marie Charpentier, Nobel Winner 2020
"I remember, that moment was when I knew
this is my calling."
"Dr. Betty Ferrell, author of 11 books including
the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Nursing
"I remember all the stages in my career where
I almost didn't have enough confidence to try
for something, almost didn't have the guts to
follow something I was excited about doing,
because I didn't know anyone else who'd done
it, or other people made me question it."
Amal Clooney
