In one of the interviews in Kenya, Dr. Myles Munroe shared
the fundamental questions that every human being on earth is motivated by and
that they always should try to answer.
- Who am I?
- Where am I from?
- Why am I here?
- What can I do?
- Where am I going?
Who am I?
The first question we need to answer in our quest to success
is who we really are. Not what you do but what you are worth, what you stand
for and what drives you. Once we are in a position to answer this question,
then the confidence and the courage to continue becomes even stronger.
‘Tell us about yourself.’ A common, yet one of the
challenging inquiries encountered at the interviews. How well do you know
yourself? This question deals with identity; it is a revelation of your
essence. If you do not know who you really are you end up dying as someone
else.
Where am I from?
The approach Dr. Munroe gives this question is not from the
ethnic or geographical location one is coming from. This question does not ask
you about your background. This question tends to find out how much worth or
value you tag on yourself as a person. If we do not know where we are from we
cannot know our abilities, our strengths and our potential. We are always as
strong as where we come from and always valuable as the price and worth we tag
on ourselves.
These two questions help us strategize and position
ourselves for success right here where we are. You have to create and identify
with your personal brand. This calls for digging deep into you and knowing
yourself better. No one can tell your potential better than you can do.
Let us think about these fundamental questions and build our
own individual brands that can be of value and worth what we really desire. It
is not an easy task, but it is worth the effort.
