What do you think you are gifted or talented at doing?
I can not talk about it for sure. But I really try, and this is important. Because the degree of talent can be determined only by the surrounding people. Definitely, self-esteem is important for any person. Badly if self-esteem is highly overstated and bad if it is greatly understated. Therefore, it is worth keeping balance.
In psychiatric hospitals there are many people who consider themselves great people - but that does not make them so :)
Are you pursuing the things that really excite you?
I strive for my goals and I believe that everyone should do this. A person must have a goal and must go to her. On your way there will always be people who will say that you can not get ... sometimes it happens that a person who does not believe in you is yourself. It's bad but fixable. It's never too late to pull yourself together and go to the goal.
What would the world be like if we all did work we hated?
If every man worked on his hatred, the world would get rid of wars. People hate each other and this is a fact. Many people are hypocritical. There are very few really good people. Envy is the main thing that creates hatred. Some people, instead of starting to work on themselves, begin to hate those who are more successful than them. It is not right. While the situation in the world globally does not change, people will not cease to hate each other. If we want to change something, we must start with ourselves.
I love everything you said. Especially the part about working on ourselves first in order to make change in the world.
