So apparently I'm not assertive enough, and should take more steps to promote myself. That's understandable, and it's pretty much right on. Great quiz! “Not really.”

It sure is an honor to comment on your excellent article! I'm sure that's something everyone has to discover for themselves. At various stage of one's life, people make strategic choices. Sometimes, that may not be the best ones, again it depends a lot on their current situations. For example, I have friends who are struggling in life, basically because of financial reasons. How they ended up in the current situation is due to choices made in the past. And when a person is in survival mode, a real wakeup call is badly needed to banish this cloud of delusion. No one can wake them up if they choose to avoid the problem, and pretend or hope that one day it will be gone. Sadly, that does not happen often in reality. Fortunately, what a person does right now can be independent from the past; because that was what the person were, not are. The future is now. Not 1 second ago, nor 1 second later. It's right here and right now. "Future" creations will depend on how one will take full advantage of the limited time and resources one has on this little planet we call Earth. Thinking big is one step, but the will to carry through is why most people are stopped out. Somehow, it's part of the human nature, that we subconsciously sabotage ourselves (including myself!). Depending on one's desires, doing the things one enjoy and love most is far more important than what others expect of oneself. If finance is part of it, then one should relentlessly seek out various methods, learn as much as possible and find a mentor to guide oneself using the correct approaches. It's far easier to learn from someone who has been there than to struggle by oneself. Finally one should pay special attention to one's spiritual development. I know it's not a cool thing, but it's one of the most neglected area of one's life other than work. I know, it's easier said than done. Still, I'm striving hard to master even the basics; that everyday, I will strive to do a small consistent amount of work that is aligned to my long term goals.

I’m sure that’s something everyone has to discover for themselves. At various stage of one’s life, people make strategic choices. Sometimes, that may not be the best ones, again it depends a lot on their current situations.

For example, I have friends who are struggling in life, basically because of financial reasons. How they ended up in the current situation is due to choices made in the past. And when a person is in survival mode, a real wakeup call is badly needed to banish this cloud of delusion. No one can wake them up if they choose to avoid the problem, and pretend or hope that one day it will be gone.

Sadly, that does not happen often in reality.

Fortunately, what a person does right now can be independent from the past; because that was what the person were, not are. The future is now. Not 1 second ago, nor 1 second later. It’s right here and right now.
