“How did I help others?”
A person who wants to develop career-wise must be able to a certain extent to help others.
“What am I most grateful for?”
Even though healthy dissatisfaction is important, it is equally important to be able to appreciate things that were given to you and that you can be proud of.
“How did I handle failures?”
Failure can be a great impetus for further development, provided you are able and willing to learn from it.
“What relaxes me?”
The ability to relax and rest is crucial for long-term satisfaction and success at work.
“What is my motivation?”
