A Basic Understanding of Yourself
Who, What, Where, How, Why and When
I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five, For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea, For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small- She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all! She sends’em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes-
One million Hows,
two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!Rudyard Kipling
When I was studying journalism, the very first thing I learned was to write a good story, you had to ask the right questions. The questions? Who, What, Why, How, Where and When? Quis, quid, cur, quomodo, ubi, quando, quibus auxiliis. This applies to your life as well. The first steps in the journey toward infinite vision and the power that it holds are:
WHO
Know who you are and who is important to you
WHAT
Know what you want, what your skills, talents and weaknesses, know what your goal is
WHAT RESOURCES
Know what external and internal resources you need
WHY
Know why you want what you want, do what you do, and are who you are
HOW
Know how to get what you want and be what you want to be
WHERE
Know where everything fits in your plan, where you were yesterday, where you are today, and where you want to be tomorrow.
WHEN
Know when is the right time to do and say things, when you want to see your dreams become reality, when you are going to devote the time to being the person you want to be and achieving the goals you want to achieve.
This little exercise is not mandatory, but it might help as a starting point. Don´t worry, you can always change it or resubmit it. You may not have all the answers yet, this is the first draft, a baby step toward creating your goals and realizing your dreams. Write down what you can, think about it, as you will be doing throughout the course. But most importantly, have fun with it!
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
