what should i do with my life?

Hello... is it working? hi, my name is ghafar, and i am new at this. not much of a blogger really. but i am being pushed into this by some powerful force, my GP teacher. anyway, i have to write something on: "what i should do with my life?" which i have asked myself many times before, for example, when im super bored or when im watching 'Oprah'...

ok then, enough of me, lets talk about me now...

the things that i should do with my life can be categorised into 3 stages, which is:

  1. development of self in all aspects
  2. establishment of basic necessities
  3. satisfying my innermost desires

In the first stage, i should be doing what any young person my age should do, become a better older person. and one way to go about this is to go to school, an institution not only for obtaining knowledge, but also where one's character is developed, as a result of the implemention of the many school values into one's life. by the end of the education years, i will have enough to survive on my own, which includes, qualifications, moral values, etc. now its time to go on to stage 2.

During this stage, a lot of time and effort is put into setting up what the rest my life would be like. getting a job that suits me the most is the first challenge. i would not want to spend time working behind a desk, neither would i like to risk my life every single day in order to pay for food, housing, bills, and many other things that require paying(which is a lot if u ask me). i will get a job that will make me happy in doing, such as flying or bed testing. nothing beats a good old bed. once that is done, i'll be going about in finding a mate, someone to share what life i have for the rest of her life, and with God's willing, perhaps have a child or two, or three, or even four(i love children), and raise them till they can support themselves. who knows, maybe i'll teach them a thing or two about life huh? this is sort of the longest phase of life due to the amount of time that has to be invested into it. hopefully it all turns out good, and i'll be able to enjoy stage 3 of my life with no worries.

Finally, the last stage. the experience during this stage relies on whether what has been done in stage 2 is successful or not. if it is, i will be able to spend the rest of my years in comfort satisfying my innermost desire, which is to be with my loving wife, while my children go on to set up lives of their own. however, if stage 2 was not successful, i can forget about dreaming of comfortable, worry-free golden years. this is because retirement is something i should not choose yet. i still look forward to do it though, because who doesnt want to live the rest of their lives in peace, without a care, but with the ones they love... one thing is for sure, that person certainly isnt going to be me.
