Strengths

Consider a service position where you can help others solve their problems

Think about owning or managing a company that restores and recycles products.

Think about school as a way to improve yourself. You will increase your motivation, particularly if you reflect on your progress.

Build relationships with people who appreciate your ability to help them identify problems.

Ask friends for honest feedback about your weaknesses.

Dream big. Write down your dreams, and continue to make progress toward your biggest dreams.

Find an organization where you can help create the future, painting vivid pictures for those who work there, helping them see the role they will take in making this vision become reality.

Take risks to gain new insights, even if they are out of your comfort zone. Set academic goals to project yourself into a successful future.

Associate with others who enjoy philosophizing about the future.

Don’t let other people’s negative comments about your dreams dissuade you from reaching toward them.

Incorporate your need to serve all of humankind into whatever career you choose. Opt to work in fields and for organizations whose values mirror your own.

Volunteer your medical services for a week or month at a rural clinic serving migrant workers or in a small town without a physician or nurse.

Energize your body, heighten your awareness, and soothe your soul with inspiring background music. Create a calm environment in which to study, work on projects, solve problems, re­search, write, and prepare for exams.

Keep a journal. Let your ideas and feelings flow freely. Write without editing. Find purpose and meaning in your personal and academic life.

Help others understand that you view all life as a continuous, ever-widening circle without beginning or end. Explain how every thought, word, and deed impacts people far and near.

An ideal career would be one in which you have an opportunity to share what you have learned and are expected to be continuously learning and making new discoveries.

You will want to work in an environment that expects you to be continuously engaged in learning.

Prioritize the most critical information to study. Otherwise, you might become distracted by other information that fascinates you but is not as relevant.

Share your information with friends. Determine who would be interested in each bit of information, rather than giving all information to everyone.

Study about fascinating places to travel. Gather information, and go!

Choose a career in which “actions speak louder than words” even though your words can propel people into action. Thoroughly research professions, organizations, and companies to identify the ones that are truly results-oriented.

Find work that allows you to make your own decisions, and then act upon them.

Stay physically active to remain mentally engaged in your studies. Eat. Pace. Take breaks to stretch. Test your ideas with your study group. Press for their honest opinions.

Choose a major field of study about which you are passionate. Realize your success hinges on your being fully engaged.

Instigate conversations with your peers outside the classroom. Center these on topics related to a recent lecture given by your instructor or a visiting professor
