Working Too Hard Without Seeing a Future

I have to admit, I did almost drop out of high school as a Freshman. I never really tried much in high school, until the 4th quarter of Sophomore year when I decided to get my act together. It's crazy, but I did it and still maintain a 4.0 GPA since then. I'm moving my way up to Senior year pretty soon and it's crazy that I still have no idea of what I want to be. All I know is, I want to be successful enough to make a ton of money so that I could take care of my parents. I don't need a Ferrari or mansion, nothing like that. I just need a nice house, with new furniture for them as well as be able to buy them things they like and deserve. I just don't know what I want to be.... I know I have some interests in Business. I like taking things apart as well as putting them back together. I love working with children. I love helping others. I don't mind back breaking work. I'm definitely a hard worker. I don't kiss butts, but I do get along well with most. Typing is a very strong ability of mine, I believe. I enjoy working around the computer rather than with paper. I'm somewhat technology advanced. I do just about okay on math, wouldn't say I'm good or bad. Got any ideas for me guys?

Well as I read your post here I see a great future for you... if you continue to work hard and never give up. The Lord blesses the person who work hard and don't just wait for something to happen in his/her life. A person life you has great future specially here online. I'm not good in anything but I definitely believe that great things starts with small ones. So I made myself thankful of the little things I have co's I know someday it will go big too.

Thanks! I do work very hard when it's necessary, but I also take some time off of work as well because I'm not one of those people who could focus for hours and hours unless I really feel the need to. I just don't know what I'll be working as, in the future.

It's always good to play after the hardwork. Doing all the hardwork and not relaxing or enjoying the fruit of your labor is probably the most boring thing to do unless you have reasons why you won't enjoy it. It's a healthy way to enjoy life when after you work you also play. I don not mean that you go outside and play... what I mean is enjoy, relax, eat, sleep and more to give a treat to your tired and wear off body.

great to hear that from you, you've already thinking about your future. But you have to focusing now, that's great to finishing your study and in your spare time, do your business as you can but dont forget on your study. Never bored to study because study will never ended even you will get business you have to learn that first right. Find the good business that you think you can do in your spare time, we study to get better on how to think better than anyone, think better, think with smart way, or even how to think out of the box.

Great advice! I'll be sure to start studying even more if possible. I usually don't waste my time with games, until I actually get breaks from school, haha. But I'll sure keep that in mind, thanks!
