I have long term dreams and short term goals.

This summer, my major goal is to accomplish two things. 1. Learn the basics about shares. 2. Study for my driver's license so that I can take it as soon as I turn 18. Things that I'll run into on my way and things I'll be doing on the side matters, they matter a lot. Even if they aren't that big. Together, they're what makes this summer memorable. To have a few, major goals makes the journey exciting. Increases the motivation. My goal for autumn 2011/spring 2012 is getting all A's. I'm waiting for the grades right now. But what they say is not what matters. What matters is that I've done everything on my own, and that I deserve every letter on that paper. To know that I can do everything that I set my mind to is what drives me forward. What gives me motivation. I'm capable of so much in this world, even the biggest, most complicated things. They actually aren't that big when you look back on them. You just have to make a decision, keep your eyes on the price. Compare yourself with no one but yourself. That way, you can never, ever, loose.

What I want to say is that it pays off. Even if I won't accomplish my goals according to the way I'd like, it will pay off. I always learn. I always grow. I always experience. In the end, that's what matters. Have goals and dreams, and I assure you. Life gets a meaning. Life is worth living for. You just have to find out what you have to do to realize it.
