Thanks.

If you'd take some advice, don't hope for a breakthrough. Work towards it. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, your passions and your dislikes, your preferred working environment and your working style. Find that intersection between what you love, what you're good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs. The Japanese call it ikigai: your reason for being.

Find that reason for being and pursue it with all your heart. You do not have time to waste; start searching for it now. If you wait until you graduate you will be well behind the curve. If you can't find your ikigai just yet, find something you can be paid for and plug away at the problem until you find an answer.

The reason I'm able to do what I can do now is because I knew what I wanted to be when I was 13 years old, and worked single-mindedly to achieve that goal. Without that life purpose, without a goal in mind, you'll be lost. At the very least, the ones who have been working towards a goal will have a leg up on you.

Start now. Find your life purpose. Determine your goal. Then work towards it, no matter what.
