Ambitions

I've been very ambitious lately, I'm going through all my professional contacts and colleagues so that one day I may fulfill my dreams.

Firstly, while I study mechanical engineering I want to study architecture and interior design, on the side. My mother was a interior designer, I also have a friend who is a architect and makes 80-100k a year. Let me note that he is self taught. One day, I wish to start a company incorporate both fields into one field, maybe even Civil engineering, as well.

Secondly, when I graduate from college I will begin training to summit Mt. Everest. Crazy, yes.. Suicidal, maybe.. I feel that being on top of the world will bring new meaning to my life. This has always been a personal goal of mine, and I feel very sincere, personal to this feat. It's like my own personal mission, to prove to myself.




I would like to end with this quote by George Bernard.

Life isn't about finding Yourself. Life is about creating Yourself.

I remember years ago, the days of darkness and emptiness I would ponder for meaning. I wanted to find myself, I used to take road trips -alone, to define myself. I never succeeded. This quote just taught me everything I wanted to learn in a matter of seconds, that I spent years trying to find. It all makes sense and I finally feel like I'm in control of my life, once again.


Toodles!
