LÀM GÌ KHI KHÔNG BIẾT LÀM GÌ ?

Mình được chị Sùng chia sẻ cho bài viết này vào năm ngoái khi mình quyết định Gap Year. Thật sự mình rất tâm đắc nó và đã chép lại, kẹp vào sổ để nhắc nhở bản thân như một kim chỉ nam cho chính mình. Hôm nay, cuộc sống của mình sắp lật sang một trang mới, bài viết này lại được post lên, để đây xem 1 năm nữa những sự thay đổi gì sẽ diễn ra kaka 😋😋😋

Mình rất rất recommend mấy bạn Gap Year hay dự định Gap Year, hay đơn giản là rảnh quá mà chưa biết làm gì, có thể tham khảo bài viết này để có định hướng rõ ràng hơn cho mình, nhất là khi bạn chọn một con đường ít người đi, rất khó để tìm được người hiểu mình 😅.

SOME IDEAS FOR YOU WHO TAKE A CAREER LESS TRAVELED

🌱 Learn about who you are. Meditate, and blog. Those are the best two tools for learning about yourself.

🌱 Teach yourself stuff. The Internet has anything you want to learn, from writing to 3D animation to programming to carpentry to guitar. Never stop learning.

🌱Find out how to motivate yourself. There will be times when you don’t feel like doing anything. This is a good problem to have, because you’ll have to figure out how to solve it or else go get a boring job where someone motivates you. Solve it. You’ll be much better prepared for the road.

🌱Figure out what you’re passionate about. This isn’t easy, because it takes a lot of trial and error. Try a lot of things. When you get good at something, by the way, you’ll like it much more. You’ll suck at everything at first.

🌱Help others. When someone doesn’t know how to do something, teach them. When they need a hand, lend it. When they’re stuck, offer yourself up. Seek ways to help. It will teach you a lot, including who you are and what you’re passionate about. It’s also good motivation.

🌱Connect with others. Find people who love what you love, who are doing weird things, who travel, who make their own path. They are awesome and fun to hang out with.

🌱Learn to need little. If you need very little, you don’t need to make much. This frees you up to learn and explore more.

🌱Explore the world. You can travel very cheaply if you need little. Meet new people. Learn languages. Work odd jobs.

🌱Get really good at something. Practice, read more, watch others who are good, steal ideas and make them your own, work on projects that excite you and learn as you work on them, practice more.

🌱Teach something valuable. If you learn to program, teach a beginner. If you learn poker or guitar or martial arts, teach that. People will thank you.

🌱Get paid as a freelancer. When you’ve learned a skill, hire yourself out online. You don’t have to be awesome yet, just don’t charge a lot. Try to really deliver. On time. Be trustworthy and your reputation will grow.

🌱Sell something. Make a small product, whether digital or real world, and sell it. You learn a lot by selling.

🌱Learn to be a good person. Show up on time. Try your best to meet deadlines. Be honest. Learn compassion. Keep your word. Especially to yourself.

If you do half these things, you’ll love the path. If you do almost all of them, your impact on the world will be palpable.

And when you’ve been traveling this path for 6 months or more, write me back and tell me how it’s going.

with love,

Leo
