Finding your passion
The 7 zones where you are optimally productive
by ian goh
Is it possible to determine
whether an individual will be
optimally productive during
the entire course of a
lifetime?
Yes, and it’s not through a
personality test
personality test uses multiple choice
and so it is subjective and only gives
a snapshot of the real you
There are innate “absolutes” that
define where the individual is most
productive.
They are our productivity DNA.
while education, training, experience,
culture and upbringing can enhance
these absolutes, they still remain
consistent and endure during a
lifetime of an individual.
so how do we find out inner
“absolutes”? what are the tests?
how we determine a person’s passion is
base through their value system to the
world.
ask yourself
“Have there been any activity or
engagement in the past where you
made significant contributions in
value and benefits to others?
And was the value appreciated by
others?”
you list down all the past memories
in the past and you’ll be able to see
a pattern of the passion zone you
are more inclined towards.
