The state emphasizes that you can be anything you want to be if you just work hard and put your mind to it. This is a cruel and false advise submitted by the state to people who believe this nonsense at face value. Knowing thy self, being honest with one's self will reveal talents and gifts that will lead the way to your success. Just liking and loving to do something isn't enough. You may wish and want to sing like Elvis, but probably never will achieve that no matter how hard you work or toil. The time to know thy self may take you years, and many trials and tribulations but rest assure that none of that energy, time, and risk taking is wasted. In totality, all your experiences will more clearly define who you are. Once you know that, you are on your way.
