In Ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates famously declared that the unexamined life was not worth living. Asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: ‘Know yourself.’
Knowing yourself has forby prestige in our culture. It is the true meaning of life.
What do I need to know about myself?
Well! Well!! Self - knowledge? Yeah!!!
I am Sobowale Olufunke, a 18-year-old writer and a young Historian from Nigeria with the former steemit blog 
Well, I am not new on steemit, I had a blog
I am more an extrovert. My relationship with my father really influenced my ambition, he loved history and he was into art. He was a great ambitious man; I got to know how to communicate with people and I got interested in novels and history.
When we speak about self-knowledge, we’re alluding to a particular kind of knowledge – generally of an emotional or psychological kind. There are a million things I could potentially know about myself.
What kind of taste do I have?
BUT
I listen to music just whenever!
What problems do I have around failure?
What is success without failure? One of my problem is lack of persistence, I quit so easily but I am still working on it with the help of the people around me. Also, I repeat unhealthy patterns from childhood.
Love of Wisdom and System of belief
What is my philosophy of life?
My focus is on personal philosophy, I focus on my beliefs, values and attitudes. I focus on WHAT vs. HOW. Philosopher Aristotle, "life is about happiness."
a life can remain meaningful even when it contains long passages that might appear, at first glance, to be merely a waste of time. I may spend a decade not quite knowing what I want to do with myself professionally, trying out a number of different jobs and never settling in any of them, testing my parents and enduring the scepticism of my friends. But these experiences don’t have to be dismissed as merely meaningless. The wandering and the exploration may be intimately connected to my eventual development and growth. I needed the career crisis to understand my working identity; I cannot get anywhere important in one go. I learnt to forgive the horrors of my first drafts.
Negative side and positive side
Also, I started off as a child with fierce difficulties around self-awareness. There are many aspects of my identity that is simply hard for me to see but with the help of some people being my mirror, feeding back their insights and perspectives on the hard-to-see part of myself - the result was chaotic, and slightly depressed
" I don't like agitated individuals." not knowing I was also referring to myself. There are bad sides of me but there might be many more.
Luckily, the positive side of me - I'm smart, loving and a good listener, being honest and I do take responsibility for my actions, I am compassionate, determined and understanding and I'm loyal.
I was a passive-aggressive person but I am learning to be assertive.
What do I have to offer you?
In my old account, all what I did was to post stories, articles, I'm still on it tho I'm going to offer you new things. My blog will be majorly about life, psychology, philosophy, politics, history, stories and many more.
