    i just turned 20 in nov 04.
    But i met this guy that is 22, and he graduated and everything from UofT and had a really steady job. The icing on the cake is he has a niceee ass sail boat and everything =\

    Now i look at my life and realize im only 2 years younger then this guy... and im still in 1st year university. (took a year off)
    does anyone else ever feel like this?

    hah yeh thats true. plus ppl naturally always compare themselves with everyone else.
    pretty impressive.. 22 with a BOAT.

    i want a BOAT! Id be having lil parties on it .
     
  4. does a boat create happiness though? What happens when the boat sinks, metaphorically?

    in order to gain that financial security you need some pretty good educational credentials too which is quite an acomplishment.
    Even tho im just 1 year behind because i stayed back/took a year off I wish i used the time to get ahead. hmm.

    And what about this 9 years old Pakistani girl who has qualified as a Microsoft Certified Professional . You should not feel this way, there are always people who got "succesful" very young. I think you should take your time to find what you really want to do and do it. You don't need to hurry. I know some people who at 40 are still at the university or decide to start all over.

    u'll never feel good about urself if u compare urself to others all the time. Be happy for what you already have/acheived and not what you don't have; you will have a much happier life if u think this way instead. :)

    Not everyone can become a Bill Gates. You can always try, the garuntee is that you will only end up where society takes you. Usually that's how it goes. But don't trust me I'm only 18 in my first year in college...

    Dont worry about it much! You'll be fine. Cause I said so.

    Everyone's life is different. And since when are there certain ages for certain things to be permanent??? You'll be fine.

    Your life is only falling behind if you believe it so. Work hard. Im sure there are worst people out there!

    You'll be fine. FIGHTING!!!

    I feel the same way sometimes. I know this girl in my school that has straight A+'s except for one A while I have 2 B's and the rest, A's. It makes be feel as though I could've tried harder. But then I look at her and how she is not allowed to talk on the phone, use the internet, and watch Tv and that makes be feel a bit better.

    academik..i think everyone been to that stage as long as you took the time off to reconstruct your future...including myself..
    i took my time off cuz i lost direction in life....at that time and even now i feel like i'm behind....but the truth is...it's not about how long it takes you to go there.....yea.. you'll have fame earlier...you'll be recognized...you'll have all the bling...if you wanna live that life style...then good for you...how is see it is...if each day i'm seeking improvment in my personal health and i'm happier everyday..then i know i'm living my life....that's how i was meant to live.. live a life happier by the second...

    But it's hard cuz we are all surround my a materialistic societi...our friends.. all the clothes.. the money...the hotness...booty....i find this kind of lifestyle realli tiring.. i was once on it once...and i dont' want to live it anymore...cuz i'm trying to be someone i'm realli not...

    That's my 50 cent....And once again i've probably have said it somewhere...but it's all up there in your head....Age is just a number....money is just a number...

    i am 25---and i live a double life.....procrastinating about the choices i have to make.......
     
  20. lol procrastination is Grrrrreat!!! oh well Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

    Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

    There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

    And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. -that ones from good 'ol Abe Lincoln US president.
