Do you know why interviewers often ask you to describe yourself? They are not really interested in you. They just want to see if you know yourself. And if you start stammering or go blank, they will never hire you. Do you know why? Because if you are not self-aware enough to know yourself, you will have problems with other people because you will not be aware of them enough to understand the interplay between your own personality and theirs.
If you want to be successful, learn about yourself to a high degree. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Know what environment triggers you or nurtures you. Understand your personality type and know about other personality types that complement or aggravate you.
You must be able to know how you impact the world and how the world affects you; otherwise, you will end up going through life instead of growing through life. You will become ultra-sensitive to how others offend you while being blind to what you are doing to offend them and cause them to act the way they do.
To avoid this and become a success in life, you must grow from self awareness, then self management and eventually send control. And once you have attained that, you go from there to relationship awareness and relationship management because you can only control yourself, not others.
When you reach the level of relationship management, you have attained mastery. You no longer react to other people's dramas and traumas at that level. Instead, you process it and choose whether or not to respond. When they insult you, you are not triggered. You remain calm. Because in reality, over 50 billion people have been born and died since God created this world, and not one of them died from being insulted. So, an insult is not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things!
The only respect you need in this world is self-respect. All other respects are not vital to your survival. Only insecure people demand respect from other people. If they give you, okay. If not, it's still okay!

I'm 54.
I wasted 24 years learning this the hard way. But I'll teach you in 5 minutes.
If you're soft, stop reading now.
Here are 24 uncomfortable truths I wish I knew earlier:
You sleep 8 hours every night but still wake up exhausted.
Coffee barely helps. Naps feel better at first...
then leave you even more drained.
Here’s what’s going on (and how to fix it):
PROBLEM 2: Mouth Breathing
If you snore or breathe through your mouth at night...
Your brain gets starved of oxygen, which sabotages deep sleep and leaves you foggy in the morning.
Mouth closed = calm, oxygen-rich sleep.
Mouth open = stress, inflammation, exhaustion.
Fix #2: Tape your mouth at night
Sounds weird but works.
Mouth tape gently trains nasal breathing. Just 1–2 weeks of nasal breathing can transform your morning energy.
You might feel so good you start dunking your head in a bowl of iced Saratoga water 🤣
We won't see a speech like this for many decades to come 🙌...
