What's the right direction for life?

Extraordinary_5 · Jul 22, 2007

If you're not serious, please do not respond this thread.

Now, I'm still very young, I'm at the age where I'm about to deciding what I should do with my life, and it is definitely not a easy decision to make.

Many of my friends just do not care, they gamble stupidly, lost all their money, get drunk and fuck around every day.

Some of my friends are school boy, well, they're just school boy.

Some of them are in their 30s, yet still not marry. And some marry when they're 21 or so.

Some of them are very hard working guys, and makes good money.

Please give me your story on how your life pass by from your 20s to your 30s and 40s.

Considor seriously your decisions in life, do not jump into anything major without throughly thinking it out. This applies to career choices, marriage choices, choices like having children within that marriage, chocies on what major expenditures to make such as buying a home or automoble.

What ever you do think it through first, as it is our major life decisions that effect the eventual quality of our lives in the end. I have said it myself and heard it said by many others "if only" - don't end up saying to yourself "if only" I hadn't quit school when I did, or married that gal with three kids when I did, or bought that house when I knew I could not afford it when I did. Consider the ramifications of your choices whenever possible.

Bottom line no one knows what life has in store for them and even trying to make the right choices there are no guarantees you will have a happy productive life but it is a place to start.

An Old man told me something one day that hasn't left me since.

When a person looks back in life, he usually regrets the things he didn't do rather than the things he did..

I wish you told me this before the Tampa NYY series this weekend.

Here is some advice for you young buck-

Learn to use past and present tense where appropriate

If you are in your 30's and not married (or not divorced) you are most likely gay

When you are in your 20's you have tons of oportunities but not the money to pursue them.

In your 30's you have the money, but the opportunites from your 20's are gone

In your 40's your ex has all your money so you look for opportunites for your kids

learn to embrace it

It's a crapshoot-but only you know what you want to do & what you need to make to live up to your standards.

When I went to college, I was under the mistaken impression that "a degree was a degree" & that's all that mattered. Wrong

I wandered as long as I could, asking myself the same questions that you are now. Worthless psych\econ double major & grad school in econ-only to find out that there really weren't many jobs for an econ masters outside of Wash DC(and I was not going to become a f'ing bureaucrat).

Bailed on that & got in a graduate computer science program which was a joke, so I left & took a network admin position after self studying and passing the MCSE.

Happy where I'm at, no idea how I ended up here....it just happened.

I went to college until age 22 Graduated with psychology degree

22-23 Was a waiter right out of college. SUCKED

23-25 Slang dope with a gang of CRIPS called the "rolling 60's" on the southwest side of Houston. Moved Meth, white, weed, ecstacy and acid in the clubs.

25-26 Made peace with God and told Him I would do it his way since I f'd everything up doing it my way. (I did have a lot of fun with a lot of topless dancers)

26-33 Help start an internet company that I stayed for 7 years to learn how to run a business.

33-37 I have run my own SEO internet marketing company and we are coming on 5 years and 5 employees.

Advice: Ask God what He created you to do. Shut up and then listen. Ask Him to guide you everyday in the way you should walk. Shutup and listen.

In the end you will do what you were designed to do and when you look back on life you will have no regrets.

Toughest thing to do out of the above: Shutting up and listening. Most people do not.

Well that worked for me and since most people believe in a God then off you go.

#2 start investing today. Do not wait until the 30's.
