CAREER

My inner wisdom to recognize greatness inside out.

1. Northstar = Priorities

2. Compass = Principles

3. Mountains = Challenges

4. Toolkit = Disciplines

For IMMEDIATE CAREER DECISIONS, here are my 3 go-to questions:

1. Long-term vision:

↳ Which choice would make your future self proud of the decision you make today?

*See more in Northstar

2. Know your boundaries:

Knowing what NOT to do is as crucial as knowing what to do.

↳ When you look in the mirror, which actions would fill you with regret and lose your self-respect? So, don't do that – those are your boundaries!

*See more in Compass

3. Force to action:

Remember that when we die, people will grieve but eventually move on. Therefore, while alive, we must be the ones most satisfied with our journey.

↳ Which next-step will empower you to pursue what truly matters to you, even in the face of doubt?

*See more in Mountains

TLDR – Below is my career roadmap built from years of studying business, philosophy, and deep self-reflection.

My greatest strength: I've never faced a career crisis – I always know where to go and what to do next, because of crystal-clear purpose. Hope this guide provides you similar power 💚

🌟 Northstar: the state of simply enough.

Not about being "good enough" or "happy enough".

It's about reaching sufficiency where your inner world aligns naturally with your outer expression.

↳ Northstar is built from:

(1) Legacy Vision: What impact would make you feel "it's enough" in your final moments, both personally and professionally?

(2) True Satisfaction through:

+ Physical sensations (where do you feel it in your body?)
+ Meaningful moments (which specific experiences confirm it?)
+ Personal recognition (how do you know when you're truly satisfied?)

How to find it?

(1) Intentionally design work experiences that align your vision with daily responsibilities.

(2) Build purpose through career stages and meaningful workplace relationships.

SUM-UP:

1A – What professional legacy do you want to leave behind?

1B – What brings you genuine satisfaction in your work?

2.5 years old: A wise little soul with bright direct eyes.

This essence has stayed with me forever.

1A – My state of simply enough:

Staying true with my chosen people – future family, parents, and close friends.

↳ So my professional legacy: Building my own empire.

On the way to building my own empire, I meet to pick-up the right people. I will meet my future husband for sure ; )

↳ Career alignment: Focusing more on skills and values rather than traditional job titles.

1B – Work satisfactions:

+ Learning and using diverse mental models to gain experiences to build my empire. Being powerful yet flexible, while staying true to myself.

+ Keeping my focus on Education + working in Tech + building small business (preparing for future family)
