Describe a Decision You Made in the Past That Helped You Learn or Grow

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

One of the most defining decisions in my life was the moment I committed to writing a book about my work in exploration and diamond drilling. At the time, I saw it merely as a way to document decades of experience, but it became much more than that. Publishing my book didn’t just mark the end of a project it became the beginning of a much deeper journey.

Since the day my book was released, I have found myself driven by a renewed hunger for knowledge. It pushed me to research more deeply, to question what I thought I already knew, and to continuously improve the technical and practical understanding I had built over 30 years in the field. The process of writing demanded precision, structure, and reflection, but the aftermath gave me something even greater: a genuine thirst for learning.

That decision to write and share my experience with others not only helped me grow professionally, but it also reminded me that no matter how much we think we know, there is always more to discover. In a way, I didn’t just write a book. I opened a door to the next chapter of my personal and professional development.

A Decision That Fueled Professional Growth and Contribution

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

Last year marked a significant milestone in my career; I published my second professional book. This decision stemmed from a desire to aid in the professional development of my colleagues in the fields of diamond drilling and exploration drilling.The journey of writing this book was not just about sharing knowledge but also about deepening my own understanding and expertise. The process required extensive research, collaboration, and practical application, which enhanced my technical skills and broadened my perspective in our specialized field.Through this experience, I learned the importance of contributing to the collective knowledge of our community. It reinforced my belief that growth often comes from teaching and sharing with others, not just from personal achievement. This decision to write and publish my book has not only helped my colleagues but has also spurred my own personal and professional growth.

Thank you for reading.

Have a nice day
