Self-evaluation -- 27 years old

Yesterday a mentor of mine ask me to write down all these clues:

"some clues to ask yourself: what lights me up? what brightens my day? what makes me jump out of my bed in the morning?"

Hmm.

What lights me up these days? The story of the Past or Present?

I am a knowledge junkie. I read all kind of stories be it involve medical, engineering, politics, psychology, technology, fiction, conspiracy theories, business related stuff, games etc etc.

One that I keen in reading more now involves social sciences studies. Like what spark and trigger humanity forward. Stories that make a difference; proven past system that propels and answers life biggest questions.

I like Malcolm Gladwell writing, and am still reading a book titled Why Nations Fail. I love to inquire and finding out reason for religious cues, the believe, traditions and dogma on how they shaped human thinking and culture. I am addicted in finding and connecting the dots, on why certain things happen and what the causality of it.

I also always follow things related to sci-fi, the fantasy on how future technology will evolve and imagining how the future utopia should be. The wild imagination of the final frontier, the vastness of universe, the unknown.

I cried observing all the little things; sunsets, life and death, human expression in all forms be it art, writing, visuals, living space, relationship people had be it war, love, freedom. I read history with passion.

I'm in a long-life journey in seeking the light at the end of the tunnel. Things that strengthen your faith for humanity. Things that assure you life is beautiful.

Serenity. Wisdom. The bigger picture.

I am a generalist. I know how to design stuff, make visual graphics, express art out of my own understanding; I can talk about all these stuff all day.

I am still and always be jack-of-all-trade. Know everything but master of none.

If I may classify myself as a knowledge worker, RPG style, I am an adept towards being a linker and a retriever.

The question is now, what's the strength that I can garner from all these traits?

How to survive using all these traits?

What good can I make by knowing all these traits?

What strength I can sell to people and what is my value?

What is it that can make me stood out?

What is it that identify me and how to identify all these unique traits?

Do I have one?

How to create one?


Hmm.


p.s: Never would have thought that I'm defining my own brand. Over-thinking perhaps, or a question that I must ask from time to time.

Well, writing about it do clear up my mind at least.
