June 9, 200719 yr Hey guys, Do you worry to much about the future? I sure do, and its a hell of a lot. I keep on worrying what i am going to be when im older. I keep thinking "if i dont know what i want to be NOW, i wont be successful. I have a lot of hobbies that keep on changing, and id like to pursue my hobbies into a career. My hobbies are playing the guitar, card stacking (stacking cards and creating things), and so on... Some carrers that i would like to be are animator (i enjoy coming on the forums, and i used to create pixel images on paint), architecture (i thought card stacking would help me with this, since as its building), a landscape gardening business (i have let my parents know all about this, and they will get mad if i end this AGAIN. The one that i like training for the most is possibly coming on the forums and creating pixel images (even thought i dont do that at the moment. Please, please oh please can you help me out, its so annoying.
June 9, 200719 yr Aren't you like 12 or something? The only thing you should even remotely be worried abuout right now is getting good grades in school. I mean I didn't know what I wanted to do until my junior year of high school. (well I've had a faint idea for a while but didn't really dawn on me until then).
June 9, 200719 yr By the time you're in like 10th grade, you should know what you want to do. I'm 20 and I still have no idea. :P It sucks! The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!
June 9, 200719 yr I have no idea what i will do, every business or part of the world i want/could enter is risky. Things work out in the end. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.
June 9, 200719 yr Author Aren't you like 12 or something? 15 By the time you're in like 10th grade, you should know what you want to do. I'm 20 and I still have no idea. :P It sucks! But the thing is, I keep on thinking that if i dont start fretting over what i want to do later in life, i wont get enough experience in (experience now) to get a career as that.
June 9, 200719 yr I get a little worried about what path I'm going to take. Apprentiship or go to Uni? ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!
June 9, 200719 yr ...I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm probably wasting my life- im here at 10 to midnight posting on an online forum when I could be doing so much more...Oh well.
June 9, 200719 yr Author Thanks for all your posts guys. I know how you feel. Hey, your sig and avatar are both pretty good. How do you do them so well?
June 9, 200719 yr Seriously don't obsess over the future. It will work out. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
June 9, 200719 yr Relax. Things never work out the way you plan them anyway. Just let life take you along for its ride and try to provide some of the keys to the doors on your way (e.g. a diploma).
June 9, 200719 yr the most you should be doing is figuring out what field you want to be in then you could look into colleges that are good in that field then you get the grades you need for that college the end of what you should be worrying about
June 9, 200719 yr You think you have it bad? I'm a kick in the backside off of 20 (in August but I'm making a point here) and I still don't have a clue what I really want to do. There's no need to panic, you're 15 and have the rest of your life to figure out what you want to do - there is no rush. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)

June 10, 200719 yr I keep on worrying what i am going to be when im older. I keep thinking "if i dont know what i want to be NOW, i wont be successful. It's really not true, though. It's so not true. Cop out quote, but remember the song Sunscreen: "DonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t feel guilty if you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t know what you want to do with your lifeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæthe most interesting people I know didnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t." It's never too late to decide. You can putyour mind to anything and succeed, regardless of age, disability or anything. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
June 10, 200719 yr Just dont commit suicide. actually, it would solve the problem. wouldnt have to worry much, now, would you? but yeah, dont do it :shock:
June 10, 200719 yr there is a simple awnser, get good grades. the worse your grades, the less opintions you have. if you figure out what you wanna do when your 18 and dont have the grades, your out of luck if you have good grades and figure out when your 25 what you wanna do, you can do it :D
June 10, 200719 yr I just finished Junior Year in the US, and I've had too many "this is going to decide your future" tests and events to even care about the future any more. I just had my ACT's today, and I've had so much crap to deal with this week that I didn't even study for 'em :| . Random side note: God I hated the ACT. It's not that it was hard like the SAT, but it was just annoying. The essays looked like they were written by sixth graders, the writing prompt was completely moronic ("should we increase the driving age to eighteen?"... :XD: ), the science section wasn't science at all, just reading tables (I actually read the first experiment, took five minutes and the questions didn't even need me to know what was going on; they just required I looked at tables like a little fourth grader), and the math... well, that was pretty much the "can you put this in the calculator right?" section. I liked the SAT- it was challenging, but straightforward. The ACT... who the hell makes that test? Seriously?

June 10, 200719 yr I was gunna mention Sunscreen but it looks like I was too late :P. Gamertag: King Arizona

June 10, 200719 yr Also don't worry about being branched out, its much better than just picking one thing and being stubborn. It'll hit you sooner or later what you really want to do. :P
June 10, 200719 yr By the time you're in like 10th grade, you should know what you want to do. I'm 20 and I still have no idea. :P It sucks!I'm 18, and in the same situation. As for worrying about the future, never have, to be honest... At least not that I remember.
June 10, 200719 yr Imo just stop worrying so much. All I know for sure at this point in my life is the college I want to go to. Other than that I haven't made any decisions. I've always liked the saying, "Live every day like it's your last." and I try to stick with that. I make the most of my days and worry about the future as little as possible. I rarely plan things more than a week ahead and I get along just fine for the most part. Internet Marketing For Newbies
June 10, 200719 yr Here are some stories I pass on to people who worry about the future. I love Zen/taoist stories, they are real eye openers. A young but earnest Zen student approached his teacher, and asked the Zen Master: "If I work very hard and diligent how long will it take for me to find Zen." The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years." The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then ?" Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years." "But, if I really, really work at it. How long then ?" asked the student. "Thirty years," replied the Master. "But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that ?" Replied the Master," When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Japanese warrior was captured by his enemies and thrown into prison. That night he was unable to sleep because he feared that the next day he would be interrogated, tortured, and executed. Then the words of his Zen master came to him, "Tomorrow is not real. It is an illusion. The only reality is now." Heeding these words, the warrior became peaceful and fell asleep. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
