I have been doing job hunting for the past two months and while preparing for the 101 cliche questions that are usually asked in a job interview, it hit me that I don’t have any dreams or goals in life.
Answering the question, I honestly don’t know.
I really don’t.
It’s a difficult question as I pride myself as someone who is a meticulous planner and totally ‘not going with the flow’ type of people but when it comes to thinking about future, I’m one clueless potato. I don’t have any specific ambitions ― who I wanted to be, whether I wanted to start my own business when I graduate or just write the book that I always wanted to write.
Growing up, I have been taught that those who failed to plan is planning to fail but when it comes to future, life taught you otherwise. It taught me that however detailed your plan is, God’s plan is the best one.
5 years ago,
I thought I had everything figured out.
5 years ago,
I wanted to become a chemical engineer because the pay yo the pay.
5 years ago,
I never imagined myself to walk away from natural sciences to liberal arts.
5 years ago,
I didn’t know that I would end up studying the Japanese language.
Thinking it through, I come to realise the reason I couldn’t answer the question mainly because I don’t even know whether I could make it alive tomorrow so how can I predict what kind of person I would be in the future? The only thing I know is that I have to work hard in constantly improving myself so when the time comes where I found my passion I would have the abilities to pursue it.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

Hi Nurul 🙂 I like how your blog gives me that kind of friendly and comfortable feeling which I don’t see it from many of other blogs . May I ask how old are you ? ( I know its kinda rude ) but , I saw that you’re taking Japanese language and I think its very interesting . Ive been wanting to visit Japan with my friends but I know nothing about Japanese language and no worries your English is good ^^ Oh and thanks for visiting my blog 😀
Thank you xD I’m 23 years old this year and no no, it’s not rude at all. If you have any questions about Japan or learning the Japanese language feel free to email or dm me in IG.
Awesome post. Since you brought it up, it makes me wonder what I’d be like in 5 years to come. I think just pondering about it is a pretty scary thing to do. One, being that it’s something I can’t foresee because a lot of things are unpredictable and two, what we do today and tomorrow will always stray away from what we initially plan. We have different goals every day so predicting what I would want later would be tough. I guess refreshing our goals every day and going with the flow are good advices for me. hehe Thanks for this post!
Refreshing your goals every day sounds good! I’d e¥never though to think that way before. Thank you xD
