Open Expectations

It's interesting where people end up in life. The hotel I work at has quite a few government business associates running through here. I have a talk with a few of them every once in a while, and ALWAYS the questions, "well, what do you wanna do when you graduate" comes up. And, I ALWAYS find out these people are my age, or at most 10 years older than me (who are truly interested in me). That drives me insane. What makest them so successful? Why is it, after all the hard work I've done in life, I haven't yet become successful like they have? That's the harsh reality we have to face sometimes. Sometimes, we don't have a choice if we succeed or not. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. There are people who honestly work their asses off in order to be the best they can be, and never go anywhere in the business world. Do they flourish in other aspects in their life? Maybe. I know I'm still young and I have many chances ahead of me. Will I recognize them? Will I take them? Will I realize it when it happens or will I see it years later??? These questions fly through my head so often now-a-days. I wish and wonder and think about what my life could entail in the future. What's important is the now and what I decide to do with my life. What road will I take? It's hard to tell, but until these decisions present themselves to me, I will have open expectations. I will never aim for lower goals than I know I can reach... I will only aim to challenge myself and see what life throws my way :)
