Choose your Forking Path

Vision which path to take

When presented in class with the word vision, I felt that it is something that I have thought about before, however never really set in stone. Many people think about what they want in life, everyone differs from others. It seems that a majority of our classmates tend to lean towards the business side of a vision, since we are establish in a this type of school. However, beyond the business aspect of achievement, what else is there? What else can one envision? What are you really going to be doing 5 years from reading this blog post? Well if you don't know, you should start. That is why the name of my blog this week is "Choose your forking path"

Vision is something that we all must sit in our beds at night and really think about, what do you want in your life? I was currently hired at TD Bank, little less than a year ago, and in my interview for the job I was asked the very simple, yet meaning full question, were do you see your self career wise in 5-10 years? I must admit I wasn't expecting it but this is what I explained:

1) An established individual- the meaning of this is to be a well rounded individual in all aspects of life. Whether it be my job, my family, my finances. I want to be established.

2) Work out of the country- One of my visions of life is to work outside of the United States, take my knowledge to far distances to not only share, but to learn from others as well. Life is a learning process, each day is a new day to learn. Just imagine learning other cultures, amazes me.

3)Learn a different language- Learning a language can make me work to my full potential, it can help do the unthinkable. People say it is impossible to learn languages as you get older, proving them wrong is a key goal in my life!!!

4) Climb a mountain-  Hiking a mountain not only take endurance and strength, but it take will power. I want to be able to achieve the unthinkable, and do the unthinkable.

Climb your mountain

When I first began my college career life was more of breeze than anything.  Taking each day as it came, never thinking about the future, and just living with the motto  "it's meant to be". But then I began to realize that this portion in life if you think about it, is such a small part of the actual bigger picture.

So remember:

"It isn't sufficient just to want - you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want." -Franklin D Roosvelt


 And....

Vision with out action is just a dream
Action without vision is merely a waste of time
Vision coupled with action can make things happen

Achieve Greatness my Fellow Classmates,
