Why Are You Here?

Recently something of an enlightenment came to me in a rather unexpected manner.

Some very simple question: What do you want to be in future?

By what age do you foresee yourself to be successful and earning a comfortable salary?

Do you want a job which the company pay you money for your time and service for them or a career that enable you to grow and progress in terms of pay and position?

Are you on the right track to achieving your goals and dreams?

All these questions were posed to me by the couple of interviews I went thru.

So to some of the many simple question above...

I hope to see myself making it big given the chance rather than being a worker for the rest of my life.

I hope to be semi successful by the age of 32-35 and earning a comfortable salary of $5-6k/ month.

But damn..I don't know whether I'm on the right track to my dreams. So actually I'm rather worried because I'm 23 this year and of course the golden age of a person is btw 20-32 yrs old where his energy and focus is the highest and the committment his lowest. So I have only 5-6 years to achieve my dreams if I completed a 3 years degree course by the age of 26.

Previously I didn't really think about it but now I do because my age is not really that young anymore and I'm already laggin behind from my peers. But strange enough, this is also the period I found back my motivation to succeed after missing it for so long. Perhaps sometimes you do really need to throw yourself into the deep end in order realise the situation you are in.

Therefore to all my frens, I'm not trying to say or prove anything but perhaps it is a good idea to sit down, take out a piece of white paper to ask yourself some serious question what do you want to do or be in future and are you taking the correct path leading to it instead of delaying or pushing it to the future to let it decide for you. Perhaps it might already be too late by then because Youth is the most valuable thing we currently possessed now and no one can snatch it away from you at all.

And this is some of the very valuable lessons I learnt FOC after meeting with some very experienced people.
