Self-Assessment: From 95 to 85 — A Journey of Growth and Reflection

Many journeys in life cannot be measured by a number, but rather by the experiences, lessons, and personal growth that one accumulates along the way. In this article, I will candidly share with you a milestone in my journey, a self-assessment that I recently undertook, and the reasons behind the score I gave myself, an unassuming 95 out of 100.

The Relevance of Numbers

1. Is a Score Important?

While a score can provide a momentary gauge of where one stands, it is ultimately the journey and the experiences that matter most. The score is a snapshot, not a complete picture. It reflects the journey one has traveled but does not capture the depth of the experiences or the wisdom gained along the way.

2. The Continual Struggle of Perfection

2. Not Perfect but Continually Growing

There is always room to learn and improve. I hold the belief that perfection is an elusive yet ever-present goal. Therefore, I did not strive for a perfect score of 100. Instead, I chose 95, reflecting a continuous journey of improvement. It signifies my commitment to always pushing myself beyond my limits, even when faced with impossible challenges.

3. The Perseverance Driving Force

3. Perseverance in the Face of Adversity

I would give myself a score of 100 if for no other reason than my unyielding persistence. In many cases, when others in my position would have given up and perhaps even lost their lives, I kept going. My resilience and determination have defined my journey, driving me to push boundaries and achieve what seemed impossible.

4. Self-Reflection: A Scoring of 0

4. Self-Reflection: A Scoring of 0

When it comes to personal attributes and appearance, I do not score well at all. At 18 years old, with my unique appearance that includes light green-blueish eyes, a height of around 5’11” to 6 feet, and a beard color that is a mixture of brown and blond with ginger hints, I find myself quite ordinary. I weigh approximately 82 kilograms and am self-deprecating, reflecting that I may not be considered exceptionally attractive. This is not a score, but a reflection of my honest self-assessment.

5. Strengths Beyond Appearance

5. Strengths That Money, Sex, or Power Cannot Buy

Despite my self-assessment, I find immense value in qualities like humility and kindness. I do not stop helping others and giving until I cannot anymore. These values, and many more, can never be bought with money, sex, or power. They are the true treasures of a person’s persona, and my inner abundance guides me towards a wealth that is richer than any material wealth.

7. 85/100 — A Modest Reflection

There is always room for improvement, as I reflect on my days. A score of 85/100 is a reminder that I am not perfect and still have a lot to learn. It is a modest reflection of where I stand as I continue my journey of self-discovery and improvement.

Conclusion
