I think that is one of life's big lessons. You learn to know when you should shut up and learn! Call it experience....
I wouldn't employ anyone who used the phrase "journey of self discovery", to be honest. Or "the path less travelled". Fortunately, as a spectacularly unambitious lorry driver who couldn't care less about his place in the world, I'll never be in a position to employ anyone.

We actually have a policy that we don't hire gap year people
1. taking a gap year shows an abhorrent lack of commitment
Yes, and?
2. demonstrates an unhelpful level of concern for the world's scum
i.e. won't show any loyalty to their employer
3. stupid stories about lice riddled waterfalls of death give the rest of the office ideas about escape

I also used to know a surfer who said that once you'd been covered in salty water you didn't need to wash for a week, although for some reason his girlfriend wrinkled her nose when he told us this.4. we do not concur with the idea that you can go a month without showering nor do we wish to have a tediously ernest history graduate explain "a whole new freedom" or how "your hair self cleans" after a week.

Apparently it does if you keep brushing it every day - that is thoroughly, taking ten minutes at least, they way that people used to before abundant hot water.... or how "your hair self cleans" after a week. It does not...
The journalist, Matthew Parris, is a self-proclaimed follower. In his autobiography, he expressed his waspish displeasure at the number of letters he got about his personal grooming compared to those about his journalism.Apparently it does if you keep brushing it every day - that is thoroughly, taking ten minutes at least, they way that people used to before abundant hot water.
