When did you last gazed nowhere and imagined yourself 10 years from now?
This has been one of my favorite interviewing questions but I never ponder on it myself
Why is it tough to imagine ahead?
For reasons like uncertainty, lack of purpose, and interest
But when you come to think of it-it is impossible for us to imagine ourselves as someone else other than us.
We think this is who we are and which will not change ever.
Dr. Daniel Gilbert explains a bias that almost all of us have: We tend to think that the person we are today is the person we will always be.
It is easier looking back than imagining yourself in the future.
Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, has been quoted as saying “change is the only constant in life.”
Don’t stop at who you are today. Keep exploring and reinventing yourself.
We are in a continuous process of becoming who we are.
I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self; to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.-Virginia Woolf
