This video talks about how we are such a messed up generation because we have excuses for everything, going to college and getting a degree has nothing to do with the fact that whether or not after college you will actually find a job. He asks in this video a lot about "what is your excuse?" and honestly I could think of the one that sets us back from most of our goals, that is "I don't want to do it" and it is so simple yet there is such a big meaning to that sentence because almost everyone says it. I have always had the dream of living in Hawaii, (yes, almost everyone does) I had such a big passion for this place though, this place i sincerely wanted to call "home" in my future. My mom laughed, my grama supported, and my sister, she started asking questions "where are you going to stay?, how much is a plane ticket? etc..." That is when i started researching, how could i actually do this? and how could i prove all these people wrong that laughed, doubted,and didn't ever think I was serious. As I am sitting here today,I can honestly say I am going to be living in Hawaii, i am moving there in late June and I am staying for 5 months and that is how i never let the excuse "I don't want to" get in my way of living the biggest dream of my life.
1.) Getting all A's- My goal to get all A's is still a huge goal for me, I Have all A's right now and 1 C, but I know the reason for this and that can easily be changed into an A very soon!
2.) I would like to get into a healthier lifestyle- This goal has honestly been a little harder for me than the other ones, I see myself sitting on the couch not doing much anymore. 3.)I would like to travel a lot- this goal is very important to me, I am this weekend going to Chicago and I also have my entire Hawaii "vacation volunteer" thing set up for 5 months starting this summer! 4.) I want to grow stronger bonds with friends- I would like to still punish myself to do this more also this goal isn't really have an end, to me there is always room to grow for this one, There is always a stronger bond you can get. 5.) I want to know some ideas of careers i have in mind- I still am 100% lost on this one because I have no idea what I want to do. This quote has so much meaning to it, we all know the famous "I have a dream" quote but we don't know really any other quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This quote to me spoke out that, we see someone's true skin by the way they act when they are put into a tough setting. Everyone can act a certain way when nothing is wrong with them but rather we truly measure a man by "where he stands at times of challenge and controversy".
Winning the powerball lottery at 1.3 billion dollars would obviously be everyone's dream but what everyone would do with the money is all something different, it may be quit my job, it may be travel the world, it may be save it or even donate to a charity. What would I do with 1.3 billion dollars? Now half of me is like, "you really wanna save that money and you'll never have to worry about cutting it close on bills ever again" and the other half of me is like "quit your job and go travel for the rest of your life" Now knowing me realistically first hand I would buy a plane ticket to Bora Bora and I would stay at 4 seasons hotel and I would never leave until my money is all out. I would also donate money to research for cancer and I would also donate to end world hunger. I would buy a ticket to see my sister in new york and then plan out her whole wedding and pay for it all (which she wants to have at Disney) I would buy my mom a new house and I would most definatly buy and help out the city of Detroit.
This video was about a 14 year old boy who was very interested in stock, he started when he was young and then continued to save since he was a younger kid. His mother was also interested in stocks when she was a younger girl so that is what sparked his interest and she influenced him to save. By the time he turned 14 he had saved 50 thousand dollars and his bank account continues to grow over time. If i was to know about this when I was young i would have totally saved also like why not?
As the New Year comes around, losing 10 pounds, finding love or maybe traveling, these are all things that can be done at any time of the year yet most people wait until January 1st. Why? Because a new begging comes with a new mind set, maybe you had a great start to 2015 but as the year went on it started to drag and by March or April all those " resolutions" are now just what a goal used to be. Now why don't people stick to their resolutions? I saw this vlog and this very wise public speaker said "The things in life that you want but they are "too hard", you have mentally conditioned yourself that your life is OK or content without it, and this is how we lose the drive and desire to get it done." This is probably one of the most true things I ever heard, it was something that spoke to me a bit because this year my resolution was to save money so I can travel as much as i want and explore all the amazing places out there that this world has to offer.
