The Decision - Just do it!
There he sat in front of his computer, demotivated doing anything. After quitting two studys, Law and Electrical Engineering, he was now stuck in his 3rd attempt to succeed in university. He thought about why he just can't learn, why can't he just be happy, write good grades and live up to his mom's expectations. "Just look at your sister. She finished her doctor thesis, is sucessfull and she achieved something in her life. Why can't you just finish something you begin, just a single time! You will end up on the street with no money and won't ever be able to do what you want in your life!" she often said.
That day, browsing on youtube, he thought about what he wants in his life. His goals have always been to be succesfull, rich and to have a good paid job. But were these goals realy his own? What were his real dreams?
Not those!
Hi, my name is Ben and I am here to change my life.
I realised that I don't want to work my whole life like a zombie for someone else, 9-5, doing work I am told to do, no matter If I want to or not. I don't want to wait to finally have a few free days, wait until I can retire to finally life all the dreams I always had, to travel, to try out sports, to help other people and to life a happy! life.
I finally had my eye surgery last week, getting rid of my glasses and instead getting contactlenses implanted in addition to my own lenses. This procedure litteratly opend my eyes to what I want to do with my life.
What do I want to do in my life (despite work)?
- work when I want, what I want, where I want, how long I want
- travel and see all those beautifull places, no tourist ever gets to see
- learn (and master) different sports, latin-dancing, golf, tae-kwon-do, snowboarding
- listen to my heart and not to what the society or my suroundings tell me
- never start being boastful
- never stop being open for criticism - I can't know everything and better than everyone else
- learn chinese, japanese, italian, korean and whatever language I want tolearn by just being in the country and speaking with natives
- stop wasting the one single life, the counted number of days I am given and start living!

- earn my first 100€
- earn 1000€+/month, quit university and focus on my online business (most likely not happening in 2016, but it's my goal nevertheless)
What are my longtime goals for the next 2-20 years?

Thank you I might cut it you, but could you explain why you would? I'm from germany and here swear words are used everywhere even in tv-ads and on street banner ads, esp. on motivational ads
I think you can get reported for swearing. Some (not me) may find it offensive. Just a heads up.
