    Peter Drucker was a famous management consultant and an eminent management writer at Harvard Business Review magazine. This short piece of writing was originally published previously in the same magazine and considered a classic now. Managing oneself is a very essential skill and much needed for success in life.

   

    It encourages us to know our strengths, our modalities (how we perform best), and our values. It urges us to take responsibility for our relationships, in terms of how we chose them and nurture them. In order to identify strengths and gain personal insights, it introduces the feedback analysis tool: "Whenever you make a key decision or take a key action, write down what you expect will happen. Nine or twelve months later, compare the actual results with your expectations." It helps us frame our personal contribution by answering the following question: "Where and how can I achieve results that will make a difference within the next year and a half ?" The answer must balance several things. First, the results should be hard to achieve but still within reach. Second, the results should be meaningful. Third, the results should be visible."

Key questions to ask ourselves on how we operate are:
-How do we learn?
-What are our values?
-What are the best environments we efficiently perform at?
-and of course, knowing where we think we might belong?

    Finally, the author mentions that as we become excellent in our job we might not have any challenges and this can make life less exciting, so we can try seeking a different field to master once we are older.
