In a nutshell I'm just getting by. Like a lot of people I'm not a huge fan of school. I'd rather be doing something fun. However school's one of those things I want to finish. I found out that I did in fact have a choice whether or not I wanted to finish highschool(contrary to what my parents tell me). My parents tell me that I need school, my oxygen supply mainly depends on it and unless I have it it's impossible to survive outside these walls. When I started educating myself I found out that the real problem wasn't the amount of formal education but self education. Simple things such as self-limiting habits drive us down while we blame education. If we end up working a career that requires a degree, anyone can get one. Not everyone has the mindset though. The I'm too old/too young/sick/stupid/it's too hard/etc excuses kick in. I've decided what I want. I just need to get closer to getting what I want. And I can't spend too much time doing things that aren't important or aren't contributing to my goals. I've made myself familiar with the 80/20 rule. It's similar to what you introduced here. Books have been written about it. But you can find out what it is in a few quick Google searches. Really made me think about where my time is going since being time conscious is super important. Anyways great post!:) You have what it takes for success and I hope you'll continue to focus on your goals!:) Have a great one! Clinton At the moment I working on finishing school.
