When I graduate like you do, an article is published in a computer magazine about some of my work. I was very proud of that. But I had no such goal. I had no idea what I really wanted to do. Within two months of starting a job, I got another job at a higher salary, and moved on. During the first three days, the boss explained to me very well how incompetent I was in his eyes. Think about it! At just 23 years old, I discovered the best university degree, the praise in the magazine, everything, I discovered at night, sitting in a hotel room, crying. I had no idea what I really wanted to do with my life. That night the world seemed to shake before my eyes, everything seemed meaningless. But even after that I woke up the next morning, worked, felt a little better than last night. After a week I was able to adjust a little, in two months I started working in a new place again!
When success comes, enjoy it, but also make sure that you are on the right track. No matter how big you are, remember that everything has an end. Even the brightest star will one day be extinguished. So celebrate success by being ready for failure. Do not neglect the small things of happiness, do not give up even if you stumble once or twice. 10-15 years from now, maybe you will laugh at these things, thinking that I was not a child!
Look at life, now, as a unique opportunity. No matter how much you chase after success, don't forget these humane things. Open your heart and smile. Give your loved ones time, tell them how much you love them. Do something for the people around you. Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl. This life is not for regret.
