Do you ever know what you will be like in the future? How you will act or what you will be doing with your life?
I have this vivid memory from when I was 16. I was at Jr. Nationals in San Antonio, Texas and my teammates and I were walking down the boardwalk at night. David Ni started asking me what I would be doing in 5 and 10 years in the future. I don't remember exactly what I said or even thought, but somehow I don't think this is where I thought I would be.
Presidential elections always make me wonder about the future as well. I supposed it is because they only happen every four years. On election day, I always figure out how old I will be in 3 or even 4 elections and then try to imagine where I will be living or what I will be doing at that time. I don't think that I have ever predicted my future even remotely correctly.
Do you think that anyone ever knows? Can anyone plan or control their life so well, that they can place themselves where they want to be in the future?
My dad's birthday is today, and he's turning 53. Do you think he has ever correctly predicted what his life would be like down the road? Has he done everything he thought or expected he would do?
just curious.
