Here are some questions to help you think about what career success means to you.
Skill, interests, and personality preference: What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? What is really hard for you to do? What do you dislike doing? What skills do you enjoy using and developing? Do you want to learn something new? What would you like to learn? What activities do you enjoy that can generate income? 你擅长什么？你喜欢做什么？对你来做什么很困难？你不喜欢做什么？什么技能是你喜欢并且乐意发展的？你想要学习新东西吗？ 你想学习什么新东西？你做什么活动可以产生收入？
2021-03-03: 我擅长信息的收集和整理、擅长积极的想法和落地行动；我喜欢看书、喜欢与人交流、讨论学习和成长；对我来，内化的知识进行语言表达很难；我不喜欢做饭；我喜欢学习英语、整理英语学习方法；我非常喜欢学习新东西；最近我希望坚持练习钢琴和写作；可以产生收入的活动是生涯咨询和行动督导。
Values and lifestyle: What do you value? When, where, and how much do you want to work? Where do you want to live? What do you want to do in the time you spend outside work? Do you have physical or psychological limitations? How do these limitations affect your choices? Do you want to make lifestyle changes? What changes? 价值观和生活方式：你看中什么？你想什么时候、在哪里、如何工作？你想在哪里生活？工作之余你还想做什么？你有身体或者心理的极限/障碍吗？这些障碍是否影响了你做选择？你想做哪些生活方式的改变吗？
2021-03-03: 我看中的是个人的成长和利他；在杭州、每天工作8小时、可以60%独自工作、30%合作、10%学习；工作之余：跑步、游泳、羽毛球、钢琴、旅游；心理的障碍：遇到问题容易焦虑，容易担心他人的眼光；后果是常常花时间懊悔；现在改变了很多，如果一个事情我完成的不好，我不太倾向说自己是个loser，而是想办法，如果做这个事情曾经或者坚信未来会带来快乐给我，我就一定要做，不否定自己无能，而是说现在的模式可能不是我适合的，更多的是找出路，让自己重新链接到能量场。
Financial needs and wants: How much money do you need to make? How much money do you want to make? If you change your lifestyle, how will this affect the amount of money you need or want? 财务必须和想要：你需要挣多少钱？你想挣多少钱？如果改变你的生活方式那你需要或者想要多少钱？
2021-03-03：现阶段有老公的支持，我可以不用挣钱；但我自己想到有一份相对稳定的收入；一方面是作为关爱自己和家人的奖励金、一方面是可以投资自己学习成长的学费。钱多有钱多的花法、钱少有钱少的花法，我并不想改变现在的生活方式，我只要每天在做事、在学习、在成长就很满足。
Life roles: What life roles are important to you? What time commitments do you want to make to these roles? What are the needs of the significant people in your life who influence your career? 生命角色：生活中哪些角色对你来说很重要？对于这些角色你付出多少时间的承诺？ 对你生命有重要影响的人，他们的需求是什么？
