Im really happy at how my life has turned out today Im doing well, but if there was one thing i would love to change in my life is the time that I began studying. Im looking back in those days and everything shouts at me saying that if I had been a nerd back then and loved all of my books and read most probably my life would be much better and I have gotten better opportunities if I pushed myself to be someone who studies a lot get excellent grades and is assertive in becoming more intelligent by a mile to whom I am now. Yupp nerds they are the future...

Being a nerd huh? I think nerds are cool. The bad thing is that, i'm only average. I know that. I don't know why, but i really did not interest in excelling at anything. All i think was, I just need to pass this subject. I don't care if it's high or low, I just needed to pass it. I'm contented. I don't push myself so hard when i was studying. But luckily, I was able to graduate. LOL. Praise the nerds..! haha My brother is a nerd! LOL.

Hi deodavid, you can still be more intelligent person if you still want. You are still young, you can learn new things. Your brain still works right. Brain can be trained anyways. You know what, even though i already finished my studies, I still try to read and read about nursing. Knowledge doesn't stop. As long we have brain and functioning well, right my friend? keep it up!

According to one of our life coach if theres a vision forA evry person
No age will hinder you to the things you really want to do in your life.. Now because we are facing future we need to focus ourselves to the things we do NOW! we can start it now and be successful and the future of what we are in the next few days, months and years..

Yes. Upto some stage in life we can try for a change and succeed also. We must be willing to correct ourselves in case of need.

Hey mmgonzales,
Wow your life coach must be one knowledgeable man but anyway this topic is very basic and i very applicable in life, why look back if you've got something good in front of you and since you can't go right back just face forward and apply your regrets to your future, strive now for a much better tomorrow.

Hi there deodavid!!
Well actually even you are a nerd a good future all depends on other factors also.One is confidence, you need this in searching for a good opportunity and in facing hardships.Another is support system like your parents,friends,love once.This may help you boost your confidence and stand up and be strong in every downfall in your life. Of course another important factor is GOD and your faith.Remember without GOD you will not be here.I can actually categorized myself as a nerd but even so I am still having hardships in finding a way to get a good future coz I lack confidence.This I think only means that you don't have to be a nerd to reach your goal in life.You can have your chance for a better life even if your not so smart you just have to know the right moves and the right timing.

hey there Jordq7,
Thanks for commenting, I was just thinking that nerds that have studied before and gotten good grades have been more successful in life, am not saying all but most of them did. I for one am not a nerd but i did get above average grades and it seems that i haven't maximized the potential of my studies before to boost me up to the next step of success but anyway it's all done and the future is what we are focused now, it's just a nice thought anyways. But Jordq7 just imagine if I had that kind of intelligence and who i am now, maybe i would be in a much better place. And God and my family will be forever in the center of what I do. thanks.

deodavid: Unfortunately we cannot rewrite our past. Past is past. We have control over the present. We do not know about the future also. Happy to know that you feel you could have been more studious. good.
Many happenings in our life -- college we join, the person we marry, the place we get employed, the profession we take -- these things do not go as per our desire always. we have to make the best of the available lot.
