The tragedy for millions of people is that they never decide
what they want from life and make plans for it. Life will
provide whatever we demand. Most of us don’t demand what we
want but simply settle for what our job supplies. Too many
jobs are dead-end with little room for advancement.Many don’t know what they want to do, so they drift through
life with the hope that success will overtake them. Some
still have no idea for their life’s profession after they
have graduated from college. Sometimes you try something and
get lucky. Your talent and temperament fit the job and you
do well. Countless others hate their job and never advance
to a satisfying one.Decide what you want from life and what it will take to get
it. College can be used to explore areas you are interested
in. Investigate the requirements of the position you want.
Set short and long term goals to do what it takes to achieve
it. Stick to your plans no matter what happens. Those that
set goals and follow them usually succeed.If you have no goals, you tend to drift through life being
the victim of circumstances instead of controlling them.
Not having a goal is like driving on the highway when you
don’t know where you are going. You had better find out.
You might be going in the wrong direction. If you aim for nothing, you are sure to hit it.Ten % of life is having things happen to you that you have
no control over. Ninety % of life is how you react to the
other ten %. You can’t control the ten % but you can control
the ninety %. You can’t control what happens, but you can
soften the blow of unfortunate times by saving money for emergencies.  read more »
