…and whose life are you living? Whose dreams are you chasing?

This is an edited excerpt of my LinkedIn essay – the full original text is available on LinkedIn.

A critical essay on how education and the world of work programme us from childhood to retirement: curiosity – sometimes labelled an “attention disorder” – gets suppressed, and grades measure memorisation instead of real understanding.

Career choices are often made before we truly get to know ourselves. That is how we end up on a path we never really chose, only accepted.

The message: do not see yourself as a victim, but recognise these patterns and consciously build a life aligned with your own values.
