Reinvent Yourself to Have a More Successful Life

When you evolve as a person you live a more fulfilling life.

The other day something finally happened. Someone left me a private note asking why I sign my articles off as Lucy 4.0?

I confess I have been waiting for this question!

I joined Medium in March. For over nine months no one has commented on the moniker I append to my articles. I have felt concerned. Are people reading to the end of my articles?

My read ratio is between 35–50% so I am not too worried. The thing is on Twitter I use a similar moniker, “Lucy 3.0” and people often ask about it. Whereas here on Medium it’s been — crickets…

Question: I sign off my articles as Lucy 4.0 because…?

A) I’m an iterative person
B) I’m an Internet geek
C) It’s a joke
D) All of the above

Note: You can find the correct answer by scrolling to the end of the article ;-)

On Medium, I have evolved to Lucy 4.0 — it’s an exciting new stage!

Reinventing oneself is a sign of maturity. It’s about putting yourself out there and taking measured risks.

For today’s generation expectations are fluid. Everything is changing and there are no templates for how to live…
