career - whew!

Career, future... For me, those are big words. Just thinking about it makes my stomach contract. They say that we fear something because it is unknown. We fear ghosts because we don't know what they are, or what they can do. We fear the dark because everything in front us is now 'unknown'. The word future is very strongly related to the word unknown, because the future is something I cannot be sure of. It is unknown.

But we do not have to be afraid it. Anxious, would be a better term for this feeling. (I suddenly remembered the novel The Giver. If you haven't read it yet, well... I pity you. ;) ) So, yes, it is normal to be anxious because there is really no assurance of anything in the future.

So, the least we could do would be to plan for it. After all, your life is in your hands. Uncontrollable things may happen to you, but how you react on those situations is what makes the difference. So, if you want to achieve something, direct your actions toward it. And one of the most effective ways of making sure you do successfully direct your actions toward your goal is to create a plan.

These are the steps that will help me achieve my goals:
1. study hard
2. get good grades
3. learn a lot
4. get hired by a company somewhere
5. work way up the company
6. switch companies/jobs is necessary
7. work my way up again
8. learn a lot
9. get a stable job, with stable pay
10. find the man
11. have a happy family
12. balance work, play and family
13. work
14. have own business
15. earn a lot
16. send someone else's children to school

... to be continued, I guess.
