Impatient

I don't know if it just me...but do you ever have that impatient feeling even when you don't know what you are impatient about? I get it all the time. Most of the time i do know what i'm impatient about. I'm the kind of person that when something has to be done, it has to be done immediately. Sure, i have patience for a lot of things especially when it comes to people. When it comes to life however, thats a different story.

There was a time when i felt like i was the one that had to catch up on time. it always felt like time was moving too fast, sooo i stopped wearing watches. ever since then, i've been able to 'relax' a little bit. There are some occasions though, when i see my friends' children and realize how fast they have grown, that make me stop and wonder if i'm taking time for granted. One minute i'm studying and flirting with all the boys and before i realize it i can't find my false teeth and my boobs have sagged to my knees!...God forbid!

Bottom line...i'm 21. i have my whole life ahead of me but there are soooooo many things i want to do and it feels like i have soo little time. Some of these things are:

1. Take up interior designing. it has always been my passion (other than management)
2. Work in the hotel and tourism industry.
3. Take my master's degree in hotel management
4. Work my way from the bottom all the way to the top.
   
5. Start my own business.

With soo many things i WANT to do, i don't know where to start. I have a fear of failure, i'm sure most of us have that same fear. For as long as i remember, i've always just wanted to make my parents proud. My father mostly. He's been my idol/role model. He always says that we have to dream big, work hard and pray harder in order to reach our goals. Have the passion, the will, and the determination and nothing can stop you. Sure, u'll stumble along the way but it will only make u stronger, wiser and better as a person.

You can only truly feel success when you know you did it honestly, and you know that you deserved it. But then again success can be measured in many ways. i heard several sayings before that go:

"A successful man is a man who can earn more than his wife can spend; a successful woman is a woman who can find such a man"...what a way to mock success and marriage lol

my favorite success quotes are:
"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm." -Sir Winston Churchill
"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom." -General George S. Patton

The only time you have failed is when you stop trying.
