Well it is often an interview question. It is a stereotype question where they would ask you "How do you see yourself in 5 or so years from now?". Others may have not taken it seriously. But this morning something occurred to me which raises a concern on my part. Suddenly, I was thinking what life has to offer me in the next ten years.
Maybe I was just too busy worrying about the present that I had not thought of how my life has been since 27 years ago. I never thought of some things but they just happened. I was able to travel ang go to some of the places. Some of the odd things happened to me but I never thought of them during my childhood.
After looking back of how my life has been, I decided to picture out what would life be in the next ten years. Do I continue to work the same manner I am doing it right now? Do I earn a living just for myself or do I start to worry about my future family? Will I get married? How do I care for my family? Those are just the few things that struck me this morning.
Life remains mystery to me. Things have occurred right there on my face which I never thought of it before happening to me. So, I guess the next ten years will be the same. I may start planning now but there would be surprises along the way.
How about you? Is it often that you worry about your future? How do you see yourself ten years from now?

I see myself expanding my business and being an owner of a well-established animation studio. At least that's how i dream it would be. I'm working on it now though. Caring about our future is one thing that keeps us from straying away from our tracks.

It makes me glad to read this kind of visions. Every man's success start with a vision. I would like to tell you my friend that you are on right path by having a vision ten years from now. Just the thought that you are working on it will definitely help you achieve that goal.
I would like to learn from you ten years from now that you have indeed achieve that. And may this be an encouragement to inspire you to continuously work on that until you achieve that goal.
Keep up the positive attitude. I am behind you.

Ten years from now, I would be retired. That would be the time when I would start enjoying all the activities which longed to do so much and never had the time , being busy with the full time job. I would be visiting all the beautiful places I have been dreaming about, starting with "Leaning Tower of Pisa" in Italy.

I would love to retire also the soonest possible way and just enjoy whatever I have worked.

Well, for me I started thinking the same when my career doesn't went well the last 10 years. And it doesn't teach me anything yet, I am determined to move but situation isn't too well for me. I hope one day we can go through this difficult phase and everything went smoothly, ok?

I am sorry to learn that. I know there is a purpose why you have to go through this. It may not be soon but later on you would understand that those things you have gone through were just something to make you as a better person. They were not meant to discourage you after all.
It is always good to believe that when we go through tough times good things await for us. It could be also that there were signs to remind us that we change something about ourselves. You may reflect on yourselves right and check what it is that you need to change probably to influence your fate in the future.
I hope this helps you. Take care.
