Goals?

Setting goals in life is more difficult than people think it is. Some set their goals too high and end up disappointing themselves when they don't achieve it. Some set it too low, and end up "settling for less." It is important to analyze what we want to do, and if we are actually capable of doing so. These are key to setting the proper goal in life.

My personal goal is nothing special. I want to finish college, get my degree, hopefully acquire my MBA later in the future, and get started in my career with a decent salary. To be specific, I am actually planning to transfer to Stanford University in California after I finish my studies at Sheridan College. Reason being is that American universities tend to give more value to Ontario school credits compared to Ontario itself. For example, once I finish my 3-year college program, it's only worth 2 years in an Ontario university. In the states, however, it will be worth 3 years. I now only have to go to university for one more year and I get my degree. I also have family and friends in California, which will make adjusting easier. When it comes to my "idol," I would say it would be Warren Buffet. I would like to become such an amazing investor like him one day.

But there's more to it than just finishing school and getting a job. There are a couple of things that has to happen, in order for me to say that I achieved my goal.

I want to be doing what I actually wanted to do. It's not just about the money. I'm not going to deny, money is important, but it does not buy real happiness. It would be really absurd if I went to work everyday wishing I didn't have to deal with my boss, and my actual job.

But then again, I wouldn't mind having my own private jet, a Lamborghini, and a 10-bedroom home =)
