another coffee, please

I’m interested in developing this blog as I learn, but I know something I have to do is commit to it.  I’m sitting here today on a Monday night, logged into my work email, reflecting on my career so far (all three years of it) and my career to come.  What I’m interested in, what I’m looking forward to, what I want to be in a year or five years or ten.  It’s something I think about regularly especially when work starts to get stressful or frustrating.

“It’s my choice.. it’s my life.” — Rachel Berry (on Glee)

I can see so many career choices, so many paths that are available to me.  I have a university degree in Computer Science, I’m interested in everything, I’m quick at picking up new things.  I love to communicate and share knowledge.  These all seem like useful traits/attributes or certificates to have.  I want to be the best I can be but I have no idea which of my strengths I should play on or which of my weaknesses I need to develop.

I was thinking about my career goal the other day, and I can sum it up something like this: “I want to go to work every day giving more than I gave yesterday, learning more than I knew yesterday, being more than I was yesterday”.
