Good point.

I hope everyone's well on the path to achieving their goals, you only live once!

My Goal is to make all my dreams come true and not regretting anything!

I've learned that you only regret what you don't do. Even if things don't work out like you thought, you still don't have regrets. Go for it!

Yeah!! I'll aim high for my dreams even though they might be hard goals.

Moving to Japan (Tokyo or Kyoto), learning to speak and write japanese perfectly......and.....if possible.....being able to fall in love again....

My most important goal would probably be becoming an artist and finding a job which i would actually enjoy.Being at least semi-famous and proving that my life wasnt wasted.

Ive always had this 'drive' when it came to art since its the thing im probably the best at.No matter how good i am,i always feel that i can do better,which usually makes me think that most of my art is crap...but it always encourages me to try harder.
So i guess having my own manga would be nice.Im kind of already...developing a plot and making the characters,but it will probably take me a year or two(hopefully) before i'll be actually good enough to draw one since its not really as easy as it seems at first.


Oh snap.I think it will be better if i inch away from the keyboard now.Ive already written my most important goal.Others are just something like a hobby you would like to try,but never get the time or the chance to.Nothing serious xD
Just a few languages i'd like to learn,places to visit and fancy foods to eat

how is it to hear that there is another person in a universe who feels just like you feel?;-)...
so ...if you will find a way to accomplish your 10 goals...just reply:-)))...hehe
hope from Japan already;-)

I graduated highschool pretty quick(my junior year) and came to DeVry University at the tender age of 17 with my peers in class were 20+ and averaging around 35 years old.

two years in - I started not caring and my grades are dangerously low because of it; the school pretty much told me to take a break and then come back when i'm focused.

During that break I've been looking at things i wanted to do in life, what is my purpose...i graduated from high school, worked and came to school and even got my car; which was way more than anybody have accomplished in the whole family.

I only have a year and half - give or take sooner or a bit later; depends on me.

For some reason; after seeing just a chunk of the world here
and how people interact in the world...i just don't see myself fitting into the "dronelife."

I need something better; I can't just be happy with a simple job 9-5, same old crowd, same old parties and whatnot, and drama and never really coming out of that circle. I was never really a part of that circle and nor do I really want to be; because that isn't me. I'm striving for something better in life.

At first I wanted to graduate and move to Seattle or San Diego,but i realized i've been just saying it but have no passion to really go there; and what for? just for the weather? that's ignorant on my part.

I've thought about even moving to thailand/laos, to live and work in the "motherland" so to speak...but again; I find no real passion for that and if i do go i know i wouldn't really be happy because on top of that the whole thing is just corrupt over there right now.

Now the sleeper.

Japan. I know it may sound lame, but everything about japan I just can't quite explain it but inside i feel like complete happiness like a fuel from the everyday stress/depression i have in my life, just the thought of japan brings a smile to my face and a motivation for me to go back and finish school with a real motivation/passion now.

so you can say I got lost along the way for about 3-4 months and now i've really found what I want to do/accomplish in life.

1.Graduate from DeVry University with a degree in CIS with major in Enterprise Computing

*why?* because I can dream and be happy all I want but that isn't going to get me to japan without having a degree.

2. Get experience working after I graduate and hope to get a decent starting salary for a year or so

*why?* Chances are, even with a degree - i'm not going to have much of a good chance to be hired abroad without some experience, or with good pay (8million yen+).

3.while i'm working gaining experience, i need to take a couple classes to learn japanese fluently and pass the JLPT's.

*why?* Can't really go to japan expecting to live good and whatnot without even knowing how to speak and write the language right? on top of that; it'll also help me get a better chance at getting a good job.

4. Find a way to get to japan, either by current employer's help or by myself and get settled down over there.

*why?* gotta get to japan somehow. lol

5. Get a job, by the time I've made it to japan i'd hope to the best of me that i'd be somewhat fluent enough in japanese carry on a decent conversation for business.

*why?* how else would I survive out there? I need a job! to secure my life over there!

6. Just follow my heart in japan, whenever I get free time off on the weekends and whatnot, go explore, go eat, visit all the places everyone dreams about going to like akihabara.

*why?* you don't really need to ask why!?

7. If i'm doing well enough over there, i'd love to get a car over there - preferably the Nissan R33 Skyline or newer

*why?* If life is going good over there, I think i'd have enough money to have a car in my life now don't ya think? And now, it's time to mature up a level.

8. Hopefully i'll find a girl that is about perfect for me to live to share my life and start a family with and maybe if i'm doing real good - buy a house/land of my own there.

*why?* I have to experience this. Only live once and I definitely need to have achieve this before I pass away

9. Bring my parents and little sister over and show them around and let them know i'm doing good over here.

*why?* wouldn't be here without them, least I can do is show them something they've never seen before and take em' out to eat and enjoy life from the everyday usual boring stuff

10. The future is unwritten. Whatever happens, if I achieve my goals or not; whatever I do in life or whatever comes my way - I must enjoy my life the best I can and I need to be able to do all of this for the most part by myself because no one else can live and breathe this life for me besides...me.

*why?* well like i'm going to let a robot breathe for me and run around shopping in akihabara now am i?

I was hopeing to take over the world with this massive fleet of Star Destroyers and an army of clone troopers, but they got sent to a galaxy far, far away instead. You just can't trust Fed Ex these days...sigh.

To just be happy! I hate wasting my time doing or feeling things that I don't enjoy!
