Do some self-analysis. Ask yourself --- What really matters to me? What problem or wrong would I like to fix? What do I enjoy? Where are my interests and hobbies? What are my strengths? What is my secret passion(激情)? What do I want to do with the rest of my life? Reviewing these questions can give you new insight to where you want to go.

Use your unique genius and talents. Every person is born with a unique set of natural abilities.

True happiness comes from combining your natural talents, developing and excelling(胜过) in them, and working in a field, job, industry that you have a passionate interest in.

Begin right now and set in motion your own plan to live a happier, more satisfying life.
