First, how can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career? Second, how can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse and my family become an enduring source of happiness? Third, how can I be sure I’ll stay out of jail? In my opinion, I found that the question “ How can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career?” is the most interesting part of this essay. In fact, the author states that “ Creating a life strategy” is the important answers to the question about ensuring the relationship with your family is an enduring source of happiness. However, I also believe that “ Creating a life strategy” is also important for being happy in my career.

When a team player is humble they do not have egos, neither are they concerned about their status. When a team player is humble, they tend to point out the contributions of others and do not highlight the contribution of their own. The success of the team is collectively not an individual effort.

When Walt and Billie suggested that he needed a college degree to attain a fulfilling career, Chris answered that careers were demeaning ‘twentieth-century inventions,’ more of a liability than an asset, and that he would do fine without one, thank you” (114).
Humility is important because it motivates me to look for ways to improve, and accept that I will always have more to learn. I have completed seventy hours of volunteering before the beginning of my junior year. My fifty hours of service at the Shapleigh Community Library has shown me that mutual respect and humility for different age groups creates a positive working environment.

Humility is often misunderstood and view as weakness, but it’s the opposite. For example, there’s been cases where humble people are often seen in today’s “corporate culture as unassertive, passive types, there’s something truly powerful about them that we can all stand to emulate” (Holmes).

INTRODUCTION One of Donald Super 's greatest contributions to career development has been his emphasis on the importance of the development of self-concept. According to Super, self-concept changes over time, and develops as a result of experience. As such, career development is lifelong.
