People change, and situations change. Changing situations change people. Long term plans tend to be brittle unless you are either very lucky in your initial choice, very very determined, or flexible enough to go with the flow and adapt.
It may be cheesy, but I think Baz Luhrmann summed it up well :
quote:
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life . the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.
I also like what he says about advice :
quote:
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
So you should probably ignore me, but in the same breath I'd like to contradict myself and concur with those who've said try a bit of as many things as you can... There's plenty of time.
