  A comment on Conversation: Have you realized your potential?

  Jan 6 2013: I am not so sure one can absolutely realize one´s potential in the sense that there are so many opportunities to do so many different things and your full potential may never be fully realized. I like the fact that life has so many options. I frequently reinvent myself to partake of the most interesting and feasible opportunities out there for me. My most recent reinvention of myself would have been a career change from financial analyst to teaching English as a foreign language. But I know there are still other opportunities out there that I would like to try like writing fiction or exploring more of the world and learning about more cultures and meeting new people. So I suppose I could just say that I am embracing the opportunities that life presents me to explore my potential.
