Adaptability

Designate places to which you can retreat when you need to give your full attention to your studies. Choose venues where the potential for interruptions and extraneous noise is significantly reduced.

Surround yourself with individuals who, like you, pause to take in the world’s loveliness as it appears. Identify people who automatically put aside what they are doing to watch a sunset, listen to rustling leaves, or enjoy the arts.

Identify three to four occupations that reward those with an ability to live in the moment. Avoid professions that require rigid adherence to rules, operating procedures, and time controls.

Interview individuals who work in organizations where the work is experimental or discovery-oriented. Ask how each day assumes its own life. Take notes. Afterwards, look for recurring themes and behaviors these people share.

Associate with others who enjoy philosophizing about the future.

Write a description of your desired future, and post it where you will notice it frequently. Look at it often, and connect what you are learning to where you want to go.

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

Choose a career in which you can help others envision their future and define their goals to reach it.

Intellection

Read and collect books that pique your curiosity.

Surround yourself with intellectually stimulating people, and confidently converse with them. You can contribute to their lives as well as they can to yours.

Try to meet people who share the same interests, and create intellectual conversations with them.

Look at careers in which you can interact with colleagues and have philosophical debates.

Choose work that will challenge you intellectually.
