Key Points about the Importance of Mattering
One of the key factors for happiness and well-being in midlife, career success, and financial success is a sense of mattering, which can be fostered through factors such as having a professor who knows the individual well, engaging in a meaningful internship, participating in extracurricular activities, and having internships that occur over multiple semesters. These experiences contribute to a sense of belonging and worth. It is important for parents and caregivers to provide unconditional love and regard to their children, emphasizing that their worth is not contingent on achievements and that they are valued regardless of outcomes.
