Ask Miss Nish

Dear Miss Nish,

Do you have any advice about how to succeed in life? In other words, how to make your dream a reality?

Thank you,

Hi there!

Thank you for your question. I will assume you are still in school and just starting to think about what you do when you get older. What a great time in your life! Do you have a dream or have you identified your passion? If so, that’s great! My next question – have you done any research on this? Is there someone who is doing what you want to do that you can talk to and get a sense of how you would get started? The internet is a great tool – there is information on every type of career available. If you are still looking for ways to identify your passion, here are some questions you should ask yourself:

1. What are your skills and talents?
2. What is that thing you see yourself doing? Really visualize yourself doing this.
3. What do you see yourself doing for free?
4. What do your family and friends say they can see you doing?

Volunteering or applying for a training internship will give you the tools you need to pursue your passion. This will also allow you to meet successful people and it will expand your network of friends. I wish you the best in what you want to pursue and May God bless you on your journey!

With love,

Miss Nish
