Being a Worker and dedicating your life to your job

Well, if you have the metrics we spoke about, then you can easily measure and understand your own growth.

But today I'd like to point to another direction, and shed some light for people like me, who do not come up with, or do not manage to use, metrics in their efforts of becoming a "good worker".

Having metrics also mean that you have a plan, that you have thougth about the things you want to build or do in your life. If you haven't done so, then it makes sense that you have no metrics.

I always had this sort of challenge: to figure it out the things I'm looking for, the things I'd like to achieve,
how good am I doing in certain task of area of my life.

Having metrics help you place yourself in your life. And I know that now because I've been through some difficult journeys, and they helped me understand some pieces of my experience. Today I see that these pieces were somehow essential to a basic, solid, healthy human development (ok, maybe they were not, and I just happened to be lucky enough to get them sorted out and decided to write you about it).

I see these things, but it is still a struggle to be aware of and pay attention to all of those metrics. Some things in our lives are easier to measure than others. But it is always useful to try to come up with metrics that improve (or help us to get some visuals) of our circumstances.

This is something I learned while analysing some past experiences. I missed them for a long while in my life and it was not fruitful. I wish I could have learned that earlier.

I want to improve my usage and perception of these things (using metrics and being aware of them), so I can improve it over time.
