I am 24 years old and throughout my life I have always felt stupid and ignorant. I am very inadequate. I feel like I will never get rid of stupidity. I feel that I have very superficial knowledge. When I want to read a book, I resist reading. A voice inside me says, ‘Don’t read, you can’t understand. I don’t have the self-confidence to read a book. I think I will understand.’

    ‘Discover What You Are Best At’ by Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests you can knock of in half a day, followed by a list of jobs that use those skills. I sucked at every job I ever had, and thought that I was a lousy worker/person. Finding a job that I felt good about changed everything.
