So I need some credits(and maybe rep points?), and I decided I'm going to write a deep post!

I am wondering what you people have planned for the life ahead of you. Also, do you have set goals that you're planning on achieving? If so, what are they? I know, we all plan on doing something or being someone when we are really young.. some of us actually become that person. but as my mom told me, 'you don't always get what you want.' Anyway, post up what you feel.

Me myself, I'm 14 going on 15.. and when i was four, i wanted to be a power ranger. so i was enrolled in martial arts. Since then, i currently have 2 black belts in 2 different arts. i have 39 golds/1st places and one bronze medal. i also though i was going to be a nurse because i have 5/6 aunties who are all nurses(and one is a pharmasist), and so is my mom. but my one uncle told me i didn't have to be what they are. (he does finance or whatever) Now, I just have martials arts and martial art videos as my hobbie. I currently share an ebay bussiness with my best friend. so i'm insterested in the bussiness field now. I was thinking about becoming a pro counter-strike play (because i prollie could be [Cal-M Pride!]) but i know that my family wants me to go to college. So now i dedicate an hour of my time everyday to studying for the SATs (even though im 14 in the 10th grade) I've realized now that the key to succeeding is to have your priorities straight. There's time for studying, school, girlfriend, games, going out, working out, sleeping, eating, and whatever. :]

whoa, i guess i kinda went off topic?
-so leave comments with your thoughts and opinions
thanks.

I think the goal for the rest of my life is to go to MIT and then be a proffesionaal programmer in like php or something and in fact I kind of do that already but I plan to do it when I an adult also. But I will probably have to wait a while because im still only in junior high so for now I just need to focus on my school work and ace the next couple of years to finaly reach my goal at clledge and then to go on in life.

[hansley]

Hehehehe...easy my goal in life is to raise a great family, having a loving wife with two bright children, and of course having a great job, hopefully I will be a highly-paid famous expert multimedia designer (always wanted to be...)...oh and having a reunion with all my school and college mates and see how they are doing...

Pretty straight forward huh....

My goal in life... hm..

Well, next year I will be attending Sam Houston State University in the fall. I'm going to major in Computer Science.

...I plan to take over Microsoft and turn Windows into Doors!

My plans include my girlfriend. She is attending SHSU also and plans to major in either Fashion Design or Interior Design. She isn't exactly sure yet.

I also plan to start a life with my girlfriend and move to California after college.

[mahesh2k]

Wnanna be cool programmer for Apple computers i wanna design their desktop oneday.

[yomi]

I want to earn enough money so I can travel all the world.

[leiaah]

My short-term goal is to learn as much as I can about PHP and MySQL and to be accepted in a good company for my OJT this summer. Also to continue being an Honors student and still be in the Dean's list after this semester.

My long-term goal right now would be to graduate in College on time and have a good job that gives sufficient pay to put food on the table and a few extra to buy me knick knacks. I'm thinking of getting married and having children too but I'm not closing my doors to anything at the present.

[CodeName_88]

Lets see...

I know its overused and kinda lame, but i would like to be a game designer. i was just surfing through various mod sites, and looking at how things were done. tried some basic things... and it seems really interesting, and somewhat easier than i thought(o_0) so basically, im going to end up going to one of those game design graduate programs after i go through college...

[spiderink]

My goal in life, and everyone's, I think, is to end up happy, or at least completely content. It's what everything boils down to, more material possessions or knowledge, etc... to try to be more happy or proud of oneself (or make others less happy). I don't care if I end up a starving artist or anything as long as I'm happy/content there, as long as I *like* who I am. I don't really know what I want to be right now, but what I will be... On the good end of the spectrum, I will become rich and famous for computers, or on the bad end, I'll become a homeless bum.

[Becca]

what you liek martial arts and stuff? I did that for like 3 years after my mum forcing me to go... icried and cried she still forced me to go i was like what? 9!
I want to have a job relating computers I don't really mind as long as in the technology area etc... I love designing things but am not half as good as other people. I've just turned 14 and I'm revising for my SATs aswell which is in a month or two... we also have to ICT SATs whatever it is our school applied for....
Anyways when I was about 8 I remember wanting to be an inventer and soemtimes I still do.
Everyone wants to be a graphic designer, games designer or programmer and I'm scared that I'm not good enough... some people my age are already doing that stuff and I haven't even started in the basics yet.... there are so many people out there TONS cleverer and better than even though they are the same or younger age than me..
So I decided if I can't get into that business I'll probably be some kind of tramp in the streets... I go to a good schoool probably too good for me and everyone in my school are ULTA SUPERIOR interlectual people and all are way too clever and then there's me who is dumb and don't even know how to spell interlectual..
So my future is uncerten because I'm scared to have a MASSIVE ambition and not succeed... and fail...but I do really want to be what half the forum want to be which is to do with web design etc..

[rejected]

My goal in life is to be good at something, and enjoy my life. I'd like to have a wife, maybe kids, but I may noever marry. A thing I'm thinking of being is an engineer, I'm in precal and chemistry 2 right now,(freshman) and everyone is saying with those skills I could create something yadda yadda, and all that. I'm thinking of being a lawyer, even if a whole lot of people will hate me, I'm very manipulative sometimes.

[Caveman]

My ultimate dream is to be able to pursue what I want to without succombing to materialistic pleasures. Yeah, I'm 17, but I've realized that love is the one thing that can truly make me happy. Basically, I just wanna marry my girlfriend, move to a tranquil place up north, and pursue my lifelong passion of architecture. Have a few kids here and there, get my daily runs in, feel good about life in general

It doesn't take much for me to be satisfied. It's kind of relieving to know I've got everything planned out...even though not too many people would be inclined to take me seriously...hehe. Little do they know!

[iwuvcookies]

Wow your doing so much more than I am even at my age of 17. I really should be like you studying 1 hour each day in preparation for the SATS or ACTS. I'm such a bad person. lol. In life i plan to make a great impact on someone. Maybe if I am lazy but I want people to know that being lazy like me isn't a good thing. Well i'm trying to do something about it now. lol. I plan to become a doctor in the near or far future and help people to the best of my abilities. I don't know I just like talking with people well atleast not the grumpy ones. Oh settle down and have children and make them be geeks. lol

[Goosestaf]

My goal is simple.
inherit a large amount of money some how and buy an army. storm a country and take controla dn impose myself as dictator. then spend the rest of my life defending it from US invasion
it'll be like a game
i'll probably learn mysql aswell. . . lol

[gdpglc]

My goal is different in different time. When I am a little boy, I wished I became a knight to help weak person, however I was often raged by other boys. Now, I know I was real weak person at that time. Later, I went to senior high school, I was crazy to love guitar. I believed I would be a famous musician:). But I didn't touched it after I entered college. Now, My goal seems to disappear.

[ashiezai]

hmm .. my goal in life ?? this is a rather hard question to answer ..
and i think that i will not get an answer until i die ..
erm .. i just do wat i think i should do on the moment

[nancmu]

My goal are finishing my graduation and doing my job...

[gotspooned]

Wow @ Becca. I feel like a failed 14 year old. Ur so much more than me and Wow @ how this topic got so many replies.. lol

[NeXDesigns]

I think my goal is to be closer with my g/f, to be the best i can at design, and also to start a career in stage props, rigging, lighting, and setup. (which is what i do 2 times a year right now)
i want to kill all my friends for stealing my stuff, and then go party at universal orlando (which is only 30 minutes from my house)

[qingtian]

Hmmm my goal in life always changes, as in I always don't know what I want to do with my life. Like sometimes I know exactly what I want to do, and then later on I change my mind. Quite frustrating actually. So I guess in the end I just haven't figured out a concrete goal yet, but for now I am just planning to take things as they come until things are stable. I'm just going to try my best in what I can do, and try to be happy with everything as they are.

Oh wait, I just remembered... my current goal is to finish schooling, finish university/tafe and get a job so I can move out and move in with my friends. Yeah not a very unique goal, but it's a start I guess.

[mahesh2k]

Well my long term goal is as i said above.
but my short term goal is to collab on any open source project on sourceforge.net
so i can try my best to show my skills....

[Neutrality]

I know what career path will be for the most part. I plan to either get into Electrical Engineering, or into Computers. I am taking courses for them right now, so I'm on the right path. Now, what is uncertain for me is whether to attend college or university. I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there. I want to have a job that I enjoy and one that pays well (I don't want to be rich or anything, but you probably know what I mean). I also want to be able to travel to Northern Europe and visit those countries, like Germany, and Scandinavia. There is just something about them that is just so interesting...I don't know what it is. I also want to have a cottage up North...a cottage in a serene
area with plenty of foliage (Mountains, trees, etc.) I want to be able to get away from the city once in awhile. But, this is just what I want to be able to do. It will probably not come to fruition. I'm hoping it does.

[AbstracT]

I hope to be successful in whatever i choose to do in life..When I say successful I don't mean with money but in spirit..I measure successful by how complete and happy I feel with myself..I hope by the age of 25 I'm setttled down with a nice job and familia. I guess I want the ordinary things in life. I just hope when I get like 60 I can look back at my life and say I made a differnce in someone else life. That is the most I can do..
