That is one of the most frequent questions we are asked in the typical job interviews or on our first day of classes, in this case steemit gives me the opportunity to answer it without any type of restrictions or conditioned by any employer.
is it our name, our profession or where we are from?
In that case, my name is Carlos, I'm from Caracas Venezuela and I'm a geophysical engineer from the central university of venezuela, I'm passionate about geology and star wars so I can be considered the typical geek.
is it who we love?
Two years ago I met my soon to be wife, an amazing woman who I want to share my life with, or at least until 99 years, after that I'm pretty sure she will divorce me XD ...
is it the obstacles we overcome??
Living in Venezuela is not an easy task, nowadays a brutal dictatorship is rampant in my country and as a politician once said "I am from the south, I was born in the south and I feel the south", it is an aspect of everyday life the Latin American dictatorships, it's the little things like love, understanding, natural wonders and an immense passion to improve this country what keeps me here, because trust me, there is hope.
what do I believe is the answer?
I truly believe the answer of who you are resides in your actions towards people, that is why is so hard to define yourself, we are social beings so we can never be define as individuals 100%.
To finish I would like to conclud with a thoug of my own:
There is no happiness in blind your life with a path of wonders, let the wonders of life lead your path to happiness.
