The latest Gospel in this world is, Know your work and do it. "Know yourself": long enough has that poor "self" of yours tormented you; you will never get to "know" it, I believe! Think it not your business, this of knowing yourself; you are an unknowable individual; know what you can work at; and work at it, like a Hercules! That will be your better plan.
Blessed is he who has found his work, let him ask no other blessedness, he has a work, a life-purpose; he has found it and follows it.
A modernized translation of Thomas Carlyle
