My Goals Of My Life In 30 Years

Improved Essays
Einstein once said, “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” I look at this quote as inspiration as to what it would take for me to consider my life successful in 30 years. I think what Einstein is trying to say is that life is too short to worry about what others think and constantly be trying to accumulate better “stuff”. To be truly happy one needs to look at all of what life has to offer and decided what they want out of it and not what others tell them they want. Personally, I view life as a series of experiences, some good some bad, but I view all these experiences as new opportunities to learn and grow.

All of life's experiences have a profound effect on the individual and all experiences are

I honestly feel as though it is better for me to have the broad goal of helping to create a sustainable environment then for me to have the very specific goal of in 30 years “I want everyone to drive hydrogen powered cars,” because what if that doesn’t happen. Would my life be a failure? No not at all, because what if I choose to do something different, but something that still has a positive effect on the Earth’s environment. In that case I would absolutely consider my life a success. Or what if I follow my current passion of helping to create a sustainable environment but through new experiences and I develop new passions that I choose to follow. Would my life still be considered a success? Once again, most definitely. For myself the most important thing is to do what makes me happy and whatever that may be as long I am constantly learning and growing then I will be able to consider my life a

    The main reason why I think that HACC is the best choice for me is because of the cost. The rates per credit are around $250 and that is for in-state residents. The total cost for a commuter would be around $13,750 for a student who is full time, which means they are taking 12 credits per term (Stager). This price of $13,750 includes the price of books, supplies, food, and transportation and it is an average price for all HACC students (HACC.edu). I think that I could easily cut some of the cost by trying to buy my books online for a cheaper price or even eating at home to save a lot of money.…

    It seems that at some point in our lives, we are taken over by some force, and are tricked into feeling like our desires, our destinies, whatever they may be, have fallen out of reach. Are dreams just a phase that you grow out of after childhood, are they for motivational use, to help us hold on to our sanity when we face each new day, or are they something more? It takes courage to leave behind whatever will slow you down and seek personal happiness. At times we stop listening to that quiet, benevolent voice inside all of us, and sometimes people neglect it altogether when they most need guidance and direction. Siddhartha stirred up my emotions, reinforced a philosophy that I live by, and made me want to rethink my life's goals.…

    Life is not a void filled with despair and difficulties as Hamlet has depicted in his soliloquy. Looking at Roger Ebert and Steve Jobs, we can see that it is possible to be content with your life even though it may seem like an unrealistic dream to some. Just because you can’t see it now doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And it most certainly does not mean you won’t be able to find happiness later down the road. Life is valuable; it just depends on how you choose to look at it.…

    Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi writes in “Happiness Revisited” that the best moments in a person’s life are the ones in which they push themselves to accomplish something that poses a challenge. Csikszentmihalyi insists that happiness does not simply happen, but rather, it must be created by each individual by setting goals that are neither too simple nor difficult to achieve. As Csikszentmihalyi stated, "Happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance…But rather, on how we interpret them” (608).…

    The American Dream

    Almost all people, when asked, will confess that one of their biggest goals in life is to be happy, but when does that dream start to have a detrimental effect on people? Barry Schwartz proposed the theory, “happiness as a byproduct of living your life is a great thing...but happiness as a goal is a recipe for disaster.” While this quote can be interpreted in various ways, it sends a compelling message that happiness as the sole objective in a person’s life leaves room for failure, can become very destructive, and is very fragile. While attempting to achieve happiness at all times can be extremely harmful, achieving happiness as general contentment instead can be a much healthier and more positive alternative which will result in a greater sense of prolonged happiness.…
