Can you do this for me?, a serious matter. Options

[verlorenrivets]

I had a discussion with my dad about networking, and it sparked something in my head. I have a few questions for anyone who reads this, if you don't mind.

1) What is your ambition in life?

2) What are you actually good at doing at this point in your life?

3) Do those things work well together on a personal level (or do those things work without other people being involved)?

4) How do you feel about someone else using you for your talents?

5) How do you feel about using someone else for their talents?

6) What kind of incentive would you need to use your talents for someone else's goals?

7) What kind of incentive do you think other people would need for them to use their talents for one of your goals?

8) After answering those questions, do you feel like you can accomplish your life's ambition alone?

1) What is your ambition in life?
To see as much of the world as I can... ideally I want to travel the world and capture emotion and how life differs through photographs.

2) What are you actually good at doing at this point in your life?
I like to say I'm good at the things I love to do... playing the piano and photographing.

3) Do those things work well together on a personal level (or do those things work without other people being involved)?
Yeah.. I actually prefer doing both of those on my own

4) How do you feel about someone else using you for your talents?
Well.. I feel that talents are ultimately pretty useless if you can't share them or put them to use somehow.

5) How do you feel about using someone else for their talents?
If they got something in return, why not?

6) What kind of incentive would you need to use your talents for someone else's goals?
As much as I would like to say that I would just let them because I am a good person, it is exposure and recognition that would encourage me to do so... It's hard to make a living as a photographer

7) What kind of incentive do you think other people would need for them to use their talents for one of your goals?
Money

8) After answering those questions, do you feel like you can accomplish your life's ambition alone?
Of course not. But I knew that long before answering the questions.
