The day started early, I'm away from home, and there I am standing at the train station. The platform is buzzing with people, and the loudspeaker crackles out destinations. Everyone stares at the board as if their name were written there. I look at my hands: invisible ticket, familiar tremor. And I ask myself the same question that will guide my day: Who am I choosing to be today?

We were trained to answer with titles and achievements, confusing the role with the person. Aristotle already knew it: “We are what we repeatedly do." Socrates reminded us that choosing well requires knowing yourself first. And modern evidence confirms this ancient wisdom: identities aren't announced, they're trained through sustained small decisions.

We often hear the question: "What do you want to be?" But we should ask ourselves, "What do I decide and practice being today?" If I practice telling the truth with respect, I end up being trustworthy. If I practice generosity, generosity reshapes me from within. The role adapts to character, not the other way around.

Work changes, but what you train every day ends up training you. Generosity, integrity, humility, and wisdom don't appear on any resume, but they build the only legacy that truly matters: the invisible impact we leave on every person we touch.

"Who we are isn't answered with titles or roles, but with the character we strengthen every day."

Reflect: Today, before going to sleep, ask yourself not what you did, but how you chose to be. That answer is your real resume.
