Most successful young people don't look inside and then plan a life. They look outside and find a problem, which summons their life. A relative suffers from Alzheimer's and a young woman feels called to help cure that disease. A young man works under a miserable boss and must develop management skills so his department can function. Another young woman finds herself confronted by an opportunity she never thought of in a job category she never imagined. This wasn't in her plans, but this is where she can make her contribution.
Most people don't form a self and then lead a life. They are called by a problem, and the self is constructed gradually by their calling (Brooks).
Also provide your opinion about the author's contention that "doing your job well often means suppressing yourself."
