No Sense of Accomplishment

Hi there, I can really understand how you feel because I feel the same too. I'm almost 24 but still working on a degree. Come to think of it I have nothing at the moment and every decision I make in the future will definitely change my course of life, to better or worse. Anyway, just work hard on everything you do and at the same time plan something in the future.

i thing you are in some wrong way, do not ever leave hope in your life, however i a little hope gives rise to and oppurtunity. never tern them down other wise you will have to pay a great debts for it. grab every oppurtunity which comes into your life and make most of it. life is what you makes it.i am too like you as i am 21 years of age.

too late at 20!?come on..you have your whole life ahead of you. i know people at 40 who still don't know what they want out of life,so to have ambitions in general is a real good start. a little floating time before knuckling down is good..because you don't want to end up middle age and not breathed a little bit after school and all that.just believe in yourself and that's 75% of it right there.

If I compare me to you, I think at 20 I was knee deep in financial mess..and I certainly didnt have a computer to earn online. :) Come on kiddo, if I made it by 45 or so, you will do it faster. Cheer up. And be prepared to slog from now till 40.

I don't know what your ambitions are. If you are now 20, if your ambitions are made a very long time ago to make you feel that "it's too late" now to achieve them now, then you must have known what you wanted to do since you were just 14 or 15. My friend, to know what one wants to do in life at 14 is amazing! I was just a nowhere kid when I was 14, just lived for today and never thought about tomorrow, let alone thinking about my life's path. You are a smart guy. I would have liked to be like you. It took me more than 20 years to make what I am today. Not as good as what I have wanted but not too bad either. It is never too late to do anything. Even if you have really lost everything, there is still time to make it back. Don't give up your dream. Br a fighter. Do it the best way you can. Persistence will pay off for you one day.

You are so young! You have plenty of time to accomplish your goals. My advice would be to go to school or get the training you need to accomplish these goals. Go to a career counselor. Do what you need to get "put the dream into action." However, there are other things to live for as well. Please don't get so caught up in your goals & dreams that if something doesn't work out, you will lose all hope. Do you have friends? family? They should be held dearly. Develop hobbies too, perhaps ones that are related to your goals. Like if your goal is to become a professional singer, you could take singing lessons, listen to music, write poetry/lyrics/music, etc. Goals should be important, but they shouldn't be everything. You can do this! Have faith. :)

Oh goodness, please don't think like this - you are only 20 and still a 'baby' - you have so much time ahead of you - you don't know what people would give to be still 30 or 40 years old, being 20 - you have the world in your hands. What matters is what you do with your time and that does not mean sitting around moping about how 'old' you are and what you haven't achieved - get up and start!! :)

Hey boyuancy: you have a long way to go in life before concluding that you have not been able to fulfill your ambitions. You seem to be prejudging events even before they happened. Possible that there are some perceptions you carried and you are finding that actual outcomes don't match them. But this stage of life is for focusing on enabling yourself with the best possible education & training. If your disappointment is related to it, don't lose heart: education is just an enabler. Future life will show you ways in which you will succeed in your own way. Cheer up dude and indulge in something that helps you stay inspired.

Were the same, I am also a 20 year old girl and these days I think I am a failure although I achieve what I am expected to achieve. But there is a certain point that I can't get a job, which for me is a failure. So depress and all. But Luckily,my parents are there keeping my spirit alive saying "Your still young, you can achieve what your heart's desire". And so, I keep on trying..Praying and not losing hope. Just pray if you believe in God, don't lose hope. Be strong! Because I believe that we can achieve more. Godspeed!

hey there.. 20 is young enough to know a lot of things in life. Sometimes Feeling sad and down or discouraged are natural human emotions. They're reactions to the hassle and hurdles of life. We all feel this way sometimes. I can see that it's not yet the end for you. You still have a lot of time to figure your life. You said you believe that everything will turn out to be better and it will lead you to a happy life, well you just have to stick with that. Think more positive.

you are still young and it is too early to lose hope, strive harder to realize your ambitions and don't just sit and dream instead... ora et labora (pray and work) When I was at your age I thought that it is new adventure in life and many undertakings that will come that I must overcome. Be optimistic.
