If someone asked you where do you see yourself in five years, how would you answer? And I don't want to hear a traditional response you would go on an interview. It's an incredible complicated question since five years is just enough time to plan for but yet it's long enough to be unpredictable. Just look at my previous five years, I knew I was going to graduate from UConn with a degree in engineering but sophomore me could never have predicted that I would be in Fort Wayne, IN writing a blog daily that owns a steamer (one of the best purchases I've made in the past five years). I'm not going to even bother with where I see myself in ten years as life is so unpredictable.
So where do I see myself in five years? If it's in the cards of life, hopefully, I would have met a wonderful lady to spend my life with. But isn't that what I said for the past five years? I guess I could prioritize that goal a bit more. In terms of my career, I can see myself in many different roles in engineering. I'm not one to overlook any opportunities by being determined on one fixed objective. In five years, I'll be hitting the age of twenty-nine; hopefully, I won't be one of those characters who freak out about moving on to the next decade of my life. After thinking about where I see myself in five years, I can't really say since life is about the intricacies and so erratic. I wonder how many opportunities I have overlooked upon because I had my eyes set on a goal.
As always, I don't see the foundation of my life changing very much. I'll continue to develop as a person with a growing group of family and friends. I'll probably still be living by these words: "What doesn't kill you much you stronger." Keep life simple and enjoy the little things.
This was me in 2008 (Look at that UConn Basketball Team...):
And me today using the same camera:
I probably haven't shaven't in months in the 2008 picture. After five years much smiling and laughing (and 4 less wisdom teeth), my facial muscles have become more defined.
Will I still be writing on this blog in five years? Only time will tell.
So let me ask you, where do you see yourself in five years?
