As the topic indicates, we should understand ourselves first and use it for yours and others benefit. We are always running behind what others are doing or what others have achieved. But realise one thing try to identify your likings, strengths, passions, hobbies, comforts, etc and once you know them try to improve on these and get proficient in all these areas.This will eventually give you the directions and solutions to mostly all the questions in your mind. So please try this. Best wishes to all.
