My Future
My top three values are important characteristics in finding success in the future. I think that there is always equilibrium in life; if something bad happens to someone, an equal good will happen to them as well. In my case, the hardships that I dealt with in my childhood allowed me to develop strong values and morals that will carry me onward for the rest of my life. Perseverance, courage, and trust are all invaluable traits that will pave the way for my future.
Perseverance, and the thought of seeking success so my parents could live well, is the driving force behind my motivation to succeed. It is a great trait to have that will translate into any aspect of my life, especially my career. I am a Pre-Business major with a minor in Economics, and I still have at least two years to go before I can graduate. My perseverance is what will drive me to get that degree and diploma, and it is what has been pushing me to develop resume building material such as business internships, relations with fraternities, and so on so I will have an edge on the other competition once I am out of college. Anybody who lacks the will to continue on despite any obstacles will fall behind. The world does not wait around for you, so it is up to you to make a name for yourself.
Courage goes hand-in-hand with perseverance in many ways in the career world. Having persistence in pursuing your goals is great, but having the courage to step out of your comfort zone and make new connections is imperative in our society. There are thousands of people with the same piece of paper showing that they have a degree in business. The only way to set yourself apart from them is to have confidence in yourself!
Trust is a fundamental trait necessary for being deemed as a worthy individual. Without being trustworthy, you lack the proper credentials to make it far in any career. If you are a trusting individual, then you are also a good friend.
It is for these reasons that I believe the combination of my top values--perseverance, courage, and trust--will lead me to a successful career in the future. You cannot be lacking in any of these aspects and expect to reach new heights in your life.
