Good Intentions

Want to be an astronaut or a baker or a carpenter? Perhaps you’d prefer to be a chef or a pilot or a successful entrepreneur? Choosing your options is never going to be that easy; what you need is to collate the things you are good at with the things you enjoy doing and then see where that leads you.

some of them probably took more out of you than others. So although these are often suggested as the best way to start your decision-making, just think a little deeper. You might have enjoyed doing them once but could you, or would you want to keep on doing them.

My wife often says the meals I cook up at home for both of us and sometimes our adult children would go down really well in a restaurant and I could charge top whack. Although I really enjoy cooking like this (I do a really good chili-con-carne) I would not even think about doing it every night for dozens of people.

Let me illustrate this further by taking a square box.

Divide this box into four by drawing a horizontal line across the middle and a vertical line up through the middle.
