Several times I have already avoided writing on the topic of my decisions and plans for the future on the Internet, on topics that were given in the weekly assignments. It seems to me that the Internet is not a place where you should lightly express your plans, wishes and decisions.
However, today a quote from my calendar led me to agree with it here:
"I'm not interested in the past. I'm only interested in the future because that's where I intend to spend the rest of my life."
CHARLES F. KETTERING (1876-1958)
It is clear that without the past there is no present, and no future, but in order for life to go on, the gaze should be directed forward into the future. You should not constantly look back, look over your shoulder and think about what happened and what has passed.
You have to look for a way to live the best moments in what is coming...
and so this quote turned me on to the topic galenkp set for this week:
• What things could you conceivably change and implement in your life that would have a positive effect in the next five years? Explain what they are and why. If you have none, explain how having no future plan may affect your life.
I would like to look back at the question of whether I am a victim in life or whether I hold the threads of my life in my hands.
I've never felt like a victim in my life, powerless to the point where I couldn't extricate myself from a difficult situation, but as I approach half a century of life, those threads are slowly starting to slip through my fingers.
I still fight bravely against injustice and I don't accept that the situations I find myself in make me a victim, but it seems to me that I don't have much time left to live in top shape and that in a few years I can expect a slight decline...
And it is for this reason that I decide that in the next period I will make the most of my professional knowledge that I have acquired in my life so far, in order to improve my financial situation as much as possible and to spend the part of my life that in the future I will live far below the peak from which my fall is inevitable, I will spend it with as little insecurity and fear as possible. In the coming years, I will make an effort to sell the acquired knowledge in the best way possible, in order to buy myself security so that I do not become a victim later.
I would like to refer to another question that I read... What do I think about selfishness and greed. I've never been greedy, and as I've worked in teams all my life, I equally shared with my co-workers every good thing we achieved, all awards and bonuses. I have never been selfish and put myself before other people in my environment. I have never taken more than my due, humble and quiet when it comes to making demands, I have gone unnoticed...
That's probably the reason why I'm only now thinking about fixing the financial situation for the old days. If I had thought a little more about myself, in the industry and the work I do, I would already be very secure for the rest of my life.
Don't worry, I will certainly not become greedy or selfish, now "under the old days", I will just negotiate in a legitimate and honest way and secure certain privileges and bonuses in the jobs I have announced.
When the employer did not recognize my values and rewarded me adequately, he is now asked about the bonuses that all those who ask for them receive...
As a conclusion, what will I do in the following period and whether these actions will have an impact on my life in the following period, certainly.
I will do my best to better monetize the knowledge and experience I have. For now, maybe I don't need those financial supplies, but we should start thinking about the days when we don't have the strength and will to work.
