"marketable"? Am I a product?? I'm a human being, I'm priceless and not for sale!
I don't think you need to develop expertise in some field either. My challenge is to be successful as a jack-of-all-trades, because that's what I am. And yes, you have to pay the bills, but for me personally it's extremely important to do so while doing something meaningful. To find something meaningful, I first have to find a purpose that will determine whether what I do is meaningful or not. For instance, earning $6000 a month selling telephones is not meaningful in my eyes. That's why I made finding my purpose a priority.

Bruce: don't worry, bear bombing is not my style at all I don't consider myself highly conscious, so I don't feel like teasing others about that. I'm just glad when I progress a bit myself.

Tinasu, smartile, that's so awesome that you found a purpose that motivates you! And that you were able to define it, too. I think I found mine now, but I still can't define it properly in one sentence. Thanks for sharing, you're very inspiring.
