Yesterday I was talking with two of my friends. They are older than I’am. They are not very wealthy but they are not poor. They always talking about things that they want. Mostly, they talk about cars because they love cars. Through out their whole conversation I was thinking about what I want to do in my life.
I don’t know what I want to do in my life yet. But, whatever it is I want to be very successful at it. Plus, I have to make sure it is a career that i have the ability to grow. All the inflation that is going in the world today gas prices, food, and etc. They say history suppose not to repeat itself but, to learn from the mistakes. It looks like history is repeating it self now because we are about to suffer another Great Depression. I see the depression now, the looks on everyone’s face, people crying, people being angry, people talking about it, and people complaining.
I’ am one of those people now. However, I don’t want to be one of those people in the future. I want to be one of those guys that say that they want something and could get it. Money is the american dream they say. However, I dont want it to be a dream. I want it to be real. So, at this moment I feel motivated. I want to do the best I can do in college. I want to look a career that I would want to do for the rest of my life. Most of all I just want to be happy.

The economy is going through a rough time. Inflation is through the roof with rising tuition, record high forclosure and massive unemployment. We need a miracle! The next president (Barack) has his hands full with years worth of problems..but the only thing we can do is try to cope, while we suffer in this rough country of ours.

Your concerns about our planet are good, and it would be great if more people thought like you. Study hard and you will see the results

It is such a powerful observation that you are viewing the undercurrents of life. Most people would have just brushed off this experience, as two older individuals speaking about their lives. There is a point within the context that you say, “they are not very wealthy and they are not poor”. Shoot for wealth but enompass that wealth within your family, friends, school, career and of course your bank account.

The most important thing in life is about being happy. Money is not everything. you could work for a good paying job, but you could be working for 60 hours a week and be miserable and be stressed out. i think the most important thing is pursuing a career in which you gonna like doing and not worry so much how much you gonna make but how much gonna be loving waking up every morning being happy going to work.

“MOTIVATION” I like that word. It’s of Mucho importante that you have it. With it you can achieve anything. Whether it’s someone or something that causes it, or maybe you’re just simply self motivated it feels great!
My grandparents always said it doesn’t matter what your occupation is from cleaning the streets to performing a major surgery you should always do it to the best of your ability. So take your time in figuring out what you want to do and make sure it is something you enjoy doing now and wouldn’t mind doing for the next forty years or so. So good luck in figuring out what you want to do in life.

I believe happiness is everything. Money just brings temporary happiness and attracts unwanted people in your life. Many of us work 50-55 hours per week and we are not happy. Happiness for me is being with my friends and family. It’s funny when you think about it we spend most of our lives away from the people that brings joy to our life.

I LOVE your BLOG. I thought it was very down to earth and very sincere. I’m not wealthy but i do ok for myself. I also find myself a lot of times just asking and thinking of things to buy that i really don’t need. But having nice things isn’t bad. But i don’t dream about a car that i want, i could care less about a car. I usually want some over priced electronic gadget like an iPhone 3G (Being released July 11th) or some expensive laptop. The funny thing is all the stuff i buy, i rarely even have free time to even enjoy. I keep buying video games that i find for under 19.99 when i am browsing through Target. I buy it and find that a week down the road it’s just laying on my coffee table still wrapped in plastic. What a waste of money.
I am torn myself. I even asked my professor for guidance. I was a liberal arts major and realized that i have 2 decide what i’m gonna do before its 2 late. So i decided to change my major to English. English class is the only class that i find myself doing really well in. I am an artist and love to draw and wanted to do something creative in the fashion industry or something in advertising. Unfortunately i am 2 deep in my academic goal 2 turn back and transfer 2 a school where i will no doubt lose many credits. That would just be a waste. So i decided to change my major 2 English. I can’t see myself with a business degree like Business Management or Business Administration.
I hope in the year 20XX when i am finally done that i am making a great living and doing something that i love 2 do and GET PAID doing it.
