Most people would tell you they go to college in order to get a degree and a great job. I am no exception. Although I am here obtaining my degree and pursuing a career and the ultimate goal of happiness, my definition of happiness may not be the same as the rest of you. One of my biggest flaws is also one of my greatest characteristics. I NEED to be needed. Because of this, at times, I can be clingy or invasive; however, I am also somebody who is always be there for people when they need help. So, the majority of my happiness will come from my career as a pediatric neurosurgeon. Don't get me wrong, the financial compensation that comes with this career will be wonderful, but the feeling of accomplishment and self-worth that accompanies the job is greater than any other I can imagine. Some of you may ask, "What about a family?" You are absolutely right! I told you the majority of my happiness will derive from my career, however, the remaining sum will come from my family. But then again, I can't say that the majority would come from my career because my family will need me more than anyone else. Therefore, I need the job as much as the job needs me. So indirectly, ALL of my happiness will come from my family. So, why am I here? I am here to pursue MY OWN happiness by creating happiness for others in the future.
You seem very serious about all of this.
ReplyDeleteWish I had the motivation like you did!
Best of luck to you.
Thank you! Believe it or not, while a lot of my motivation comes from wanting to have that career, I'm also motivated to prove certain people wrong. lol
