While some may think that it’s best to separate personal life and professional life, it’s tough to deny that one impacts the other. There is no way around it, especially in this time, where we are encouraged to bring our whole selves to work. The activities and hobbies that you participate in help shape your worldview, your habits, and your larger goals.

In the coming weeks, I will share what my hobbies and activities have taught me, and how these learnings can directly apply to work life and career development. Today, I’m going to cover my experience studying a new language.

New opportunities are exciting, especially when they come as a result of your hard work over a long period of time. In the space between closing a difficult project, and taking on a new one, there is a unique sort of clarity, where you can exhale, take a pause, and feel proud of all that you’ve accomplished, while also feeling inspired to take the next step. You’ve put in the work, and now, you’re able to enjoy the moment; to shine in the spotlight.

Good times, and bad times, we all have them. Whether the duration is a day, or even a year, we all know what it’s like to ride the wave of excitement and achievement, or on the flip side, slide down the tunnel of anxiety and disappointment. Some may call it a string of good or bad luck, but really, it’s just a part of life, and there is no way to avoid it. We’re told to enjoy the good times, and endure the hard times, because nothing lasts forever. After all, change is the only constant in life.

While asking questions can feel like exposing your own ignorance, the practice of asking questions demonstrates your understanding and curiosity of a given subject. It shows that you’re actively thinking through a question or situation, and that you are committed and engaged in finding a solution.
