Guessing the Future: What Will I be 10 Years from Now?

-


How do I see myself 10 years from now? It's a question I normally get asked about, and I'm sure many has gotten the same question from other people, be it family, friends or teachers. But has any of you actually managed to answer this question? If yes, then I hope it's a good one and it does happen. If not, then there's still time to think about it. As for me, I can't seem to answer the question, no matter how hard I try. I've had a constant stream of bad luck that goes my way every now and then. For example, I'd like to visit a friend's house and planned it next week. When the day arrives, all of a sudden my family is going out somewhere and I have the choice to be left behind or go with them. It's moments like that, that gets me to think without any time. 

I can still try to answer the question, but I'll be giving a general answer, not a specific one since I might attract my bad luck and just mess up. As to how I see myself in the future 10 years from now, I'd be an ordinary person. A guy with a stable job, has a decent-sized home, and has an ok amount of friends that support me fully. Not the ones that budge me to go above and beyond just for a little more toppings to my life that will probably cause more nuisances. 

I remember getting asked that same question when I was younger, maybe around 6 or 7. I'm actually happy that it happened, but it wasn't a smooth road—but a sharp one. I wonder if the person I am 10 years ago would smile if I ever met them. Through a dream would be the best answer, but given my bad memory, I'll forget about it anyways. 

Apart from my terrible luck that I try to avoid, there's actually more logical reasons as to why I can't answer the question properly. One is that I don't know where to go. I never really got good guidance as to what job I want to take in the future. I don't know myself if I want something related to art, or agricultural engineering, or anything related to technology. All zi ever did was self-evaluation which didn't work much since I wanted opinions from others and personal experience. Asking advice from family never works out for me either. The ones they suggest are jobs that lead to a high amount of salary, but they never sounded fun or interesting. All the ever did was sugarcoat what they said. But yes, my answer from earlier won't change.

My Experience with Silence

          As an  introvert, I've often felt like I exist in a world that revolves around extroverted qualities like sociability and outgoingness. Yet, I've come to realize the incredible power in embracing my introverted nature. I find my energy and creativity in moments of solitude, and in this blog post, I want to share the unique strengths I have discovered as an introvert and how I've learned to harness these qualities to lead a fulfilling life.           One of the things I've learned to appreciate about being an introvert is my ability to reflect deeply on my thoughts and emotions. Solitude provides me with a space for self-discovery, allowing me to gain a deep understanding of both me and the world. This self-awareness helped me enhance creativity and problem solving.          I've heard of sayings that go: "A quiet person is talkative to the right people," and that's exactly right! While I prefe...

Our Answer to Nature's Call

  September holds a special significance for me. It’s not just the ‘BER’ month that signals the start of the Christmas season. This is a time when we all come together to do our part in preserving our environment. It’s more than just picking up litter; it’s about adopting a lifestyle that values sustainability and respects nature. When natural disasters strike, they serve as a stark reminder of what can happen when we neglect our environment and disrupt the balance of our ecosystems. That’s why I’ve decided to start a Photo Blog. Through this platform, I can share my experiences and the steps I’m taking towards disaster prevention and environmental conservation. It’s not just about raising awareness, but also about inspiring others in my community to take action. By emphasizing the importance of these issues, I hope to encourage more people to join me in cleaning up, fixing up, and conserving our environment. After all, it’s the only home we have, and it’s up to us to ensure it r...

  Moving ahead, my commitment is to apply the skills and knowledge gained in the first quarter to my studies and daily life. I'll continue exploring new learning opportunities and embracing fresh experiences while actively working towards clear goals set for the coming quarters. Becoming a better student and person each day is my overarching goal, and I'm dedicated to making the most of my time and resources. Despite encountering challenges in the first quarter, including balancing academics and extracurricular activities, managing time effectively, staying organized, and navigating the online learning environment, I remain undeterred. These challenges serve as reminders that I've addressed by: - Setting a schedule for daily activities and adhering to it as closely as possible - Breaking down long-term assignments into smaller tasks and focusing on one task at a time - Using organizers and time-management tools to stay on track - Seeking help when needed and garnering suppo...
