This is one of the biggest and maybe even the hardest life lesson to learn. I am one to see things and want them not thinking about what comes after getting them. How something looks to at the time I see it is not always how it will look the next day. I did not liking accounting so I changed my major before really looking into what I could do with an accounting degree. When I made this change I did not think about having to play catch up to graduate on time, I just did not want to be an accounting major anymore. My brother is a good example of someone who did not look at what was to come before doing something. He saw an old Camaro he wanted so he bought it. The car was bright blue, and loud. Then he added loud speakers to it. After having the car for about a year he had received so many tickets for loud music he wanted to sell the car. He did not think about what would happen when he was driving with loud music in his car. To prepare myself better, I will look into what the decision has to offer me in the future. The Defining Decade an easy to read book by Meg Jay. She has a natural, gentle style that great to read. There are lots of stories. Some stories I laughed at, boldly. Some I laughed at a little more nervously as they landed closer to home. The real world stories helped connected me to the book. I learned a lot from the book. Great writing plus great storytelling gives one compelling learning opportunity.
