Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though You will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

If she can go back to the past, she will tell herself at 21: The happiness of a person is that he knows that life is not equal to your gains and achievements. Your resume, your certificate does not represent your life, although many people will confuse the two. Life is so complicated that no one can control it. With this in mind, you can be humiliated.
