“My Own Identity” by Marcela Melnic: A Great Read for Those on the Journey of Self-Exploration

I believe it is important to reflect on one’s national and cultural identity to better understand the differences among people from various nations. History has taught us that culture is constantly evolving due to internal and external influences and even our own cultures and values change over time. In today’s interconnected world, people from different nations and cultures are growing closer due to economic and political reasons. As cultures converge, effective communication becomes the most important skill for anyone wishing to thrive in international society. The history of communication and relationships formed during the early stages of global communication still reverberates in the interactions between nations today.

We realize and accomplish our dreams and goals by knowing what we want in life. Self-awareness and discovery are keys that pave the way in order for us to know what we really want. Sometimes, experiences and wisdom are the tools that enable us to know ourselves better.

Marcela Melnic, author of “My Own Identity” takes readers on a journey through the means, experiences, and life lessons she has gone through and garnered that have molded her into the person she is today. Readers who are in the midst of going through self-awareness, or find such a process challenging can definitely relate to what Ms. Melnic has to say in this book!

Readers who are seeking answers as to the potential experiences they may encounter while on a quest to self-discovery are the perfect audiences for this book. As human beings, any person usually don’t look forward to surprises, when they are unfavorable on their end.

It looks like it’s Marcela’s intention to let readers know that unpleasantly challenging situations may pose benefits, regardless of how ugly these incidents may be.
