In my case, having knocked around at different jobs helped me get a sense of what the world is actually like and also helped me get out of a cocoon.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.
It helped me when I decided that we're on this planet to learn to live together and get along.
I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.
Writing poetry, which for me was then saying how I felt about this and that, didn't help me to understand the world I lived in.
After having my baby I felt like I'd been introduced to my life, I slowed down, I paid more attention to simple things, I addressed a few issues in my own life, I even got married, I looked at what was important and what wasn't, and so I used that experience for inspiration.
In such an environment, I was able to study things that could be of immediate usefulness to the world. That learning experience undoubtedly served me well when I eventually entered the work force.
I realised I had to work in something creative, but with a business and global element. And that I had to do it while I was still young and had an appetite for risk.
Somehow I got the feeling at an early age that I had to do something important with my life.
I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.
Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
