An acquaintance of mine once lamented that she was totally frustrated with their lack of progress in the direction of their dreams because of her age. About their chances if you did not make it until then, you were not doing nearly as likely to later. A very late bloomer, in fact, they raged, and goes to seed before the blush of the rose was to boot to. Ouch. Luckily, I do not believe a word of it and now she is safely out proves to be false in many respects - but I digress.
FarToo many of us try hard to jump right from childhood and in the long-term success, even before we found out what we want. Sure, there are many people who are everywhere around us - a little 20-MBAs, 30-something CEOs and 40-something retirees. But what we do not realize that all the things that we do before we move on our dreams is wasted little effort, and all the stuff that these unnaturally quick "reference points" Skip it, too hurt in theEnd.
Perhaps a little exercise in imagination will make clearer what I say. If you had a child in school, which was no less brilliant, no less diligently, and no less clever than anyone else, would you - encourage them in their first year at university - she immediately rang the advanced classes and hands and complained the fact that, although she had been attending a prestigious engineering school for 6 months already, they are not anywhere close to a top-flight engineer?
Of course not! It would be ridiculous. A solid course of study is to spend the first few years, the basic, core curriculum classes that use the secure basis for the conditions to ensure studies are still to come and the basic-ed time to make sure they are on the right track important, while they are still time to change - after all the core curriculum is a necessary component of all grades and almost all such classes is fully transferable to all the major course ofStudy.
Well, the same is true in life, but seeing a few of us who are clearly or well. Just as many students trip and stumble through expensive and exhausting majors, as if the wolves of hell were nipping at his heels, only to find himself suddenly with the dean's hand and hold a degree that they did not even bring himself read, (not the student loan bills, that the mailbox) silence of the month after hit, many people jump right in what she had "alwayswanted to do "in life, without even a pause in order to live the basic skills necessary to love, to survive and find out (very important) that what they want to learn in life. If you observe closely, you see Many of those eager-beaver corporate miracles, "early adopters" and "always-on-the-ball sports prodigies are increasingly seen haunting shadows in the back of her eyes as she that she might be into things a little too hasty jumping beginning that "the ball" is not just astable place to be and that they are now with tasks, expectations and "stranded costs" that are simply too heavy to get out of taking notes with a grace and dignity to sit.
Sometimes it is good, a late bloomer, seeds and all. After all, what will we learn in the core curriculum of life, almost everything that we choose to apply it later. Save the advanced courses in life - the following of dreams, in search for inner peace, the search for the ideal partner --until we learn how we checkbook balance is to love ourselves, think and act with honesty and integrity, and a decent meal to cook - not just a wise decision. It is absolutely fundamentally the only way we get a chance to correct if it really matters.
