Personality
I tried several psychometric tests because I always have the problem of wondering what I want to do for my career, profession, or something like that.
I always know that I do not want a boring and routine career. I do not want to deal with the office politics, and bureaucratic management. I need to be inspired and encouraged to fulfill my energy to reach my potential.
The problem is that I always seek the approval of outside world. But sometimes you need to find the strength from the inside. You need to think what you can do and what you want to do. Life is full of opportunities but they are always waiting for the best candidate. You can be confident but remember not to neglect the fact that how good you are is sometime by comparison. If everyone runs as fast as world champion, there will be no world champion. You can dream and work hard to reach the goal. The question is how hard you are willing to give. When it comes to trade off, what are you going to pay is based on what you have.
You don’t need to be superior. But if you want to, there is always more you can do.
Is it inside acting out, or outside influencing inside, and then acting out?
Are we influenced by outer environment? Yes. I suppose that everyone in the world develop our own personality based on how we are educated and where we grow up. However, after a certain age, it became less affected by others’ opinions. Why? maybe we stopped learning because we were satisfied with it. Or it needed more courage to change. It was not easy to change what we thought unless we failed a big challenge and then became forced to change our mindset.
On the other hand, is office politics avoidable? Wherever there is human, there is politics. It is the different kinds of personality which affects how the politics were operated. Some means are extreme while others are gentler.
Why are we acting out? That is the other issue.
Why do we act out on certain things? What’s our reasons? Is it an agenda? Our personalities? Should we spend a lot of time contemplating why such and such did this or that? You see the questions are endless; what do we do, ask more questions until we find answers that satisfy us? And what will that satisfaction be about? Once again, the questions are endless.
Live, and yes, question.
Sometimes we stop questioning because we are satisfied with current situation or because there is nothing we can do about it.
It is a need, but not everyone needs an answer.
Or are afraid of the answers.
Answers are sometimes so unpleasant that people need preparation. Yes, we put off confession.
