Know your interests
(i) Assess Yourself
Think about who you are, what you are good at, and why. Make a list of all the key areas that you like and have an interest in, things that you are not fond of, and things that make you happy or get you upset. You should have in-depth knowledge about your own self.
Ask yourself questions like:
