did you imagine your life few years before that you will somehow achieve your goal or reach some milestone? and did you realize that you already achieve that goal? as for me, i did not imagine my life being at this stage now, all i'm aiming for is just to graduate but i never expect that an opportunity will come to me after my graduation. i never expect my life to be like this but now i'm very thankful that somehow i aim for that goal.. hehehe.. you can you share your life with us? below a picture of a student... heheh

when i was a student, i didn't imagine anything, i mean, i never had any detailed view of my future. like you, all my goal was just to graduate and give my diploma to my mother. and i had a very general view of my future. get a job, earn money, and help my mother. that's it. i never really had an specific plan, like what job i would get, where will apply. so after graduation, i applied to a lot of different companies. i never imagined that i would land on this job and in this agency. but i like my job although at times i really get bored with it. come to think of it, i never really have a concrete plan for my life. i'm a happy-go-lucky person. i go with the flow.

heheh,thanks again for the response. yeah, when you are at school you're a happy-go-lucky but when you are at work all of a sudden you change your self into more serious and practical or even a workaholic person. well, for me i'm happy that God given me this attitude, being patient and persevere, with this i can understand and truly appreciate all His blessings...

i think i'm still a happy-go-lucky person right now. i'm content on my current life and i feel like i can live like this forever and i don't have any concrete ambition of stepping to a next level like taking a masters degree or go to abroad or something. i mean, i think about it but i don't take serious steps to make it come true. i just want to live my life easy. i guess i'm really a laid back person. ^__^;;

I am not yet thinking about that...But, I always love to be very successful and make all my loved ones happy! This time I am still thinking on how to enhance myself to have a great a career ahead since I gave up my stable job in my Country just to be with my husband! No regrets though, I just want to start again!

We are not getting any younger here in the world. We are all bound to be old in the future. I am excited for those days. I would be able to see my grandchildren and my children with the families of their own. It will be their generation by that time.

what life has to offer when i got old???/...hmmm, i guess it depends what you have done now. for example, if you are a student right now. If you did your best and you study hard then you will get big grades then after you graduate you can find a better job. That's why in life: if there is an action there is a corresponding reaction.

I can't wait until I'm old because then I believe I will be able to have time to devote to writing and just being a part of the community around me. Now I have so many things to do and I am always so busy and running around trying to get all these things done so all these other things can happen. I think it will be nice to slow down and enjoy the simple beauties and recreations of life. Not to mention that my body and mind probably won't be able to handle much more than hanging around writing and talking to people. I could probably still do myLot though. Definitely.
