I believe I have written before that this is my biggest challenge. I do great once I have a clear goal (whether I generate it or it is given by others), but I can have a hard time getting to that point if nothing is driving me there.
That is the biggest challenge in life too!
In fact, each of us must ultimately decide what to focus on. Allowing others to do that will almost certainly take us to a place where we do not want to be. While the individual decisions may seem fine, each one may take us farther from a goal that we would be really satisfied with.
I do not believe you can really plan your entire life out, though a few people do seem to come very close to that. Life has a way of stepping in the middle and messing up the best plans. That should not be used as an excuse to not do anything though. It is far better to aim at something and adjust your aim, than to aim at nothing and hit it!
About Me
- Brad Andrews
- I am a full time researcher in the information security field, with a special focus on secure development and compliance issues. I am also the Information Security Chair for an online college and a lifelong student. I want to know far more than I have the time to know. While that can be great, it can also be frustrating! I am especially interested in secure development and security awareness. The first is very related to my previous extensive background in the software development arena. I like to relate all life together, rather than pretend to compartmentalize it as some people do. I believe you can be a very spiritual and intellectual person in this world, though many people would probably feel I don't fall effectively into either category!
