Still, there are a few principles that you can carry with you throughout your career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKNOW YOURSELF AND BE TRUE TO YOURSELF\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to choose your path, you need to know yourself-- your strengths, values, and goals. What you are good at or have a natural talent for can inform you of which careers you are most likely to succeed in. Your values are the kinds of causes and people you want to work for and which practice you prefer. And your goals--those are your dreams, where you want to be in the future. Once you are certain of these things, the way forward will become clearer. For some people, this self-awareness comes easily, but others have to work hard for self-discovery. Even if you think you know yourself, it helps to ask yourself questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn W. Whitbeck,Rachel H. Whitbeck,Kristina M.
