When you're young, the world is your
oyster and opportunities seem endless, but there can be a lot of pressure to
decide on a life path. How do you know what career to pursue and what to do
with your future?
Even young people who have a plan (to be
a doctor, lawyer, research scientist, and singer) don't really know what will
happen. If they have any certainty at all, they're a bit deluded. Life doesn't
go according to plan, and while a few people might do exactly what they set out
to do, you never know if you're one of those. Other things come along to change
you, to change your opportunities, to change the world.
YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE FUTURE
So if you can't figure out the future,
what do you do? Don't focus on the future. Focus on what you can do right now
that will be good no matter what the future brings. Make stuff. Build stuff.
Learn skills. Go on adventures. Make friends. These things will help later in
any future.
I don't think that's a onetime question
to decide - you may think you have it answered and maybe you do for a while,
but things change and you change, thus the question reappears throughout your
life. Through life, you're constantly reinventing yourself, so what you want to
do also changes.
