Sometimes it is not so easy for me to keep direction all the time. I'll be swayed by my environment and people that surround. How to achieve the final goal and keep it in mind all the time is the main confusion for me, do u think so?

Hello Annie, Hm...you lose your direction? Such as where you're going, what you're talking about, or...? For me personally, I can lose my direction, and easily too. I might be (as trivial as it is) going to the bathroom to brush my teeth in the morning when my dog interferes and gets up and then starts walking around. It wouldn't be too big an issue if I didn't have to worry about other people in my house being annoyed by such movement (as she's a dog, she doesn't know where the creaky spots are in the floorboards). I could lose my thoughts by being distracted by someone. For example, I could be thinking about blogging and a new efficient way to make money when I am asked to attend breakfast or similar. Keeping things in mind is silly and generally gets you in trouble. You'll probably forget (as the human mind has a tendency for doing that), so I'll either write it down or work on mental memorization. You sometimes can "sense" when you're memorizing something, where you can temporarily deviate from a topic and remember it within split seconds afterward. If you practice that for a few minutes (or even seconds), you can generally keep it in your head. But keeping your final goal in your head is by no means something to absently try. Being passive about remembering things is a bad habit to get into. Remind yourself- keep it active in your brain, and you'll have a WAY higher chance of remembering what you needed to remember. Good question- I hope I addressed it properly. Regards, -Fresh Writing

Thank you Fresh for ur kindly suggestions. In fact, no big things happened on me, I'm just thinking about it. You know, sometimes u do ur work which is the one u like or dislike everyday, now, r u sure that the work u do now is the right position that u r really fit in, how do u ensure that the direction u choose now is the right one in the future? These days, so many of my friends asked me "r u gonna stay here(my work) for the rest of ur life?", definitely, my answer is "no", but when it comes to the actual future plan, I've no idea. So I'don't know whether I'm swayed by them or because now I work in a very comfortable environment so choose to me stay here for the moment.
