which one?
Personality or career skills?
For me, the former would sure as hell be my choice. What's the point of having good grades, success, money, a good job, and so on if you're a total ass?
These things called
career skills can help you in your job in the future. Yes, I would also be glad if I could have them but personally, I think that the price is unreasonable.
You get stressed now, and in the future, you got these
career skills or
high academic levels which will help you get a job that will get you big money. Then, to earn the money, you'll be working all day, all week, all year, and then all your life.
Then when you're about to die, you'd be all rich, but you'll start thinking,
Where did all the time go?. You'd be wasting your whole life in your career.
Whereas, if you
Live the Moment, as the Seishii would put it, you'd be a hell lot happier. Sure, you might not be able to afford a bungalow, a few cars, and whatnot. But you'd be a lot happier. When you get into trouble, you'd think of it as an enjoyable experience.
Then, when you're about to die, you'd think to yourself,
There have been hard times but hey, at least I lived life to the fullest.
I'd rather fail in everything I do and go through life with my head held up high than spending the whole of my life slogging my body, thinking that at the end of it all there would be a lot of happiness.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. The end isn't important. The process is.
So, I'd spend the rest of my days enjoying every moment.
