Perception of Success
Every single human being is unique by nature, there is something about us, which I don't know how to explain using science that is pure chaos in which we adopt our personalities. I have a twin brother, and for as long as I can remember we have been different, infact I've been driven to be something other than my brother in my youth. Two individuals with everything the same, we had the same amount of access to resources, same time period and same people around us. I was probably 16-17 when I had something entirely different from my brother, until then you only had to read one of our Resumes, because it was the exact same. I believe we still have the same underlying values, but we differ in conduct of those ideals.
The point of that entire paragraph was to flesh out the idea that even with nearly the same environment you can get two different people. Think about it it was 2 minute difference in age, which lead to an entirely new person.
Now that the idea that even with the same enviornment two peple can be drastically different. We have to examine what each person in the world wants, since every single human being is different by definition, then their ideas of sucess are also different. Therefore, it is impossible to tell other indiviuals on how to acheive their desired state of success. I believe most people can't define exactly what they mean by sucess, and if you ask two people, lets say in pre-med, both their answeres are going to be 'A Doctor'. But even in the same answer there is a vast amount of nuance, which I don't believe can be said on paper, and this is something that changes over time, its almost futile to try and define your idea of success, because its something that always changes according to your experiences. We are always handicapped by our perception that we experience at a linear rate, of which the speed is the same. From this it is not crazy to say that sometimes people will not understand your idea of success, after all even if you write it down on paper, it could change as you write it. So then it is imperative to your success as a human being to do what you ought to do. I don't think you owe anyone a clear explanation, because that arises from your individuality. In some cases it is worth to consider explaining yourself to yourself, but other than that, not only is it very hard to explain your life's mission to people, I don't think its static thing, that can be said once and forgotten. And from this, if they don't understand exactly what you want, then how will they answer your questions about how to get to what you want. The only case this works is when its a cookie cutter solution, when someone asks me to explain a math concept its something that you can explain, because I understand that this person wants an explanation of a math concept. Therefore, the question of becoming the best version of yourself is something you have to answer truthfully. In this darkness, you have to try new things and through that you are exploring the wilderness that is yourself, i.e finding yourself is something that there isn't a full manual book to. And the only tool you have against the darkness of yourself is the light that truth gives you. It's really cliche but, you gotta do what you love.
Rev 1.1 - Sun March 16th rewrote the last paragraph since it didn't make sense to me
