Introduction

Before We Begin

This is not an exam.

There are no right answers.

There are no wrong answers.

Nobody is going to judge you.

Nobody is going to give you marks.

Nobody is going to tell you whether you are good or bad.

This is simply a conversation.

For more than twenty years, you have been a student.

You went to school.

You went to college.

You gave exams.

You got marks.

You made friends.

You made plans.

You dreamed about the future.

Now life is changing.

Slowly.

Silently.

One day you realize that people have started asking different questions.

"What are your plans now?"

"When will you start earning?"

"What kind of work do you want to do?"

"What next?"

Nobody can answer these questions for you.

Not your parents.

Not your teachers.

Not your friends.

Not even us.

Only you can.

The purpose of this conversation is not to tell you what to do.

The purpose is to hold up a mirror.

Sometimes we know the world very well.

But we do not know ourselves.

This conversation is about knowing yourself a little better.

So, relax.

Be honest.

And answer as if nobody is watching.

Because the person you are talking to is yourself.

Note: So, please do not try and fool yourself by choosing to answer that is not true.
