You may have thought, that the day you start high school is the day you begin your journey of life, a very defining beginning of how your life will be. Success or not? That school time is the most decisive moment in the course of your life.
So you hope, in two years of school you want to be the best in your class. In three years you aspire to step out of your city to go to the best university you choose. Five years later after college you should have started your glorious career. Maybe you will work for the best companies whose networks are spread all over the world.
You will soon get married, build a house and ten years later you will find your life in accordance with what you have planned in youth. And you have found the path of glory.
Is that true?
Perhaps this approach is everyone's dream. But we know, there are those who have graduated university at age 22 but did not find work until even up to 27 years old more. But there are people who graduate from college at the age of 25, then they immediately find work immediately.
There are also people who never attended college but went directly to the field they loved at age 18 years. Or there are also people at 25 graduated college and immediately make money but hate their jobs. Or we know people who believe in dreams when they are 16, but then by circumstances are forced to change their life choices when they are 25 years old.
We know there are many people have to go through many long years to find the purpose of his life. As people who have married 8-10 years until finally get offspring, while in other places there are many babies who are discarded shortly after they are born, because they are not wanted by their parents.
Life also makes us see someone who has married someone but actually loves others, as we witnessed a couple who love each other but they can not be together.
Maybe we can draw a conclusion, whatever happens in life is up to your time, everyone has his time. We may see there friends have been much more successful, or have seen some friends have been left behind. But actually everyone has their own timeliness.
They have their time and time, so are you, so be patient. Completing college at age 27, however, is still a good achievement. Not married until the age of 30, but still remain happy is still a beauty.
Starting a family after age 35 is still possible, or even buying a home at age 45 is still great. Before you feel defeated, do not let anyone confuse your life with what they have accomplished in their age. Because not everything that counts can be taken into account, and not everything that has been calculated is actually counted.
The most important thing in life, when you create or make something really meaningful, as the purpose of your life, and then learn it. If it gives effect and difference to make other people better in their life. Then that is true success, if it can be accomplished.
