1. Google or Wiki everything
Whenever I'm online and I do work on my computer, I always make sure a window of Google or Wikipedia is open just so I could type in whatever comes to mind-- so I could be well-rounded, have a good general idea on a wide range of topics. You'll never know what your interviewer will ask you next, or what trivia you could share on an interesting conversation. I Google/Wiki everything: from my health concerns to Chuck Norris, to the meaning of the word stupendous. It's not wrong to admit you do not know everything in this world. The wealth of information is out there, just gotta get hold of them!
2. Pursue something other than your main line of work
Whether you're a med school student or a budding marketing professional, there's gotta be a hobby you always wanted to do (or passion you haven't discovered yet) which you could pursue. When I was in college and I was still studying human behavior and cognition, I wanted to take another track which I believed I personally loved-- design. And it worked out well for me, I could even make a living out of it today.
The truth is that there are so many things out there! You can marathon, do some crochet, be so passionate about detective novels, cook or bake or even write a story. It will make your life worth living!
3. Go for it!
Be queen of application! Apply for things--scholarships, raffles, freebies, work opportunities. You'll realize that applying (being in the process is far more fulfilling) that the results will just be a bonus. Whether it works out for you in the end or not, there's no harm in trying.
4. Read the Bible
Recently, I decided to regularly read the New Living Translation version of the Bible because it uses more layman terms, which could be understood by normal people like us. (Just Google NLT.) I appreciate how simple God's Word could be, that we can understand it in one reading. Food for the soul, yes!
Hope those inspired you today!
