Dear A,

This is highly individual question. So as for me my motivation, my objective and my wiliness to make this day the best day in my life are the thongs that really drives me. However, I'm not sure that they are transferable to you. So I would simply recommend you to be yourself and to be authentic. 

If you need any further help or advice, feel free to reach out. 

Best,
André

I am driven by trying to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday and much better tomorrow. I am constantly looking to improve myself in as many things as possible. I believe my “Never Give Up” attitude helps in my day-to-day activities.

I hate feeling lazy and unproductive because I know that wasted time is time I could be learning or furthering my career. One of my biggest fears is being unsuccessful.

My alarm, against my will 

Ok ok, fine.

The first thing on my morning routine is going to the gym, and I actually wake up and look forward to it because then I can pick up where I left off on some captivating audiobook or podcast. During the week, I don't have that much down hours to just sit and listen my books and podcasts, so I made it a gym thing. If I want to know what happened to my favourite character, I gotta go to the gym to find out.

I love a challenge, and being exposed to new topics I had not come across so far. It's the reason I chose consulting, while some businesses are very niche and would bore most people, I find it fascinating to understand but a snip of people and business' needs which I had not thought of before. I think it is fascinating to realise how little we actually know of everything, and while I may not want to pursue a career in many of these businesses, I think it's great to learn about problem solutions for problems I did not even know existed.
