It doesn’t matter if you’re applying to Stanford, the London Business School, or Saatchi & Saatchi. These are questions you want to be able to answer and they’re applicable to every big decision in our lives. Each of us needs to be able to define and communicate our personal purpose and understand who we are so we can get to where we want to be.
I have tried to drill it down to three questions:
1. When am I at my best?
2. What will I never do?
3. What’s my five-year dream?
If you can meditate on these three questions and answer them, you’ll figure out what’s important to you. We can’t expect people to know us and help us on our way if we don’t have a clear idea of what we want for ourselves. We all stand for something. We all have dreams. Acknowledge them and act on them.
