I'm heading into engineering and my ultimate goal is to design or do something that will be used or known by people all over the world. Example: Edison and the lightbulb. I want to pass away knowing that even though I'm no longer here, my name will carry on. I don't want to die and be forgotten like 99.999% of the people.
I believe being remembered is the greatest accomplishment of them all.
I always anticipate the next step. In college i planned on moving to california, which I did last year. This year I planned on raising my salary to a certain level, which it looks like I will be when this new company gives me the job offer they said they were going to on my voicemail last friday. I'm already in one of the two fields that I was hoping to be in, and in the best location for both possibilites. Now I'm just waiting for my five year plan.
I'd say the ultimate goal would be to live the life of this guy:

Known throughout the community...plus the guy makes all his money doing a few random freelance projects from his own home, or companies pay him ridiculous money to fly him out somewhere for a few weeks to work on something. Best Job Ever.

I have a pretty structured life plan. In the short run....
First of all, I will not be living here in Mexico.
See the bolds? They mean business. The second my grandfather is dead and I get over my mourning I'm out of this place, maybe sooner.
My plan for getting out?
Get an scholarship for a phD in either Japan, England or Ireland, study hard, maybe marry just to get the nationality and never come back except on Christmas to visit my family.
Sadly, all those three countries are expensive and getting a full scholarship might be difficult in my area - no one cares for literature, so I have to study a whole lot and keep my 3.9 average for four long years, then find a good phD topic mixing both literature and anthropology or something....
I just want out from this country.
My long-run dream is to become a published author, and hopefully a popular one at that. I write all day and most of what I publish has pretty good success, so maybe I have a chance, but still, it's a long road ahead.
Hmm.. me, I just wanna live simply and make my life meaningful to those close to me. If I can do that, then I would consider myself successful.
I used to want to be famous or do something uber great but these days, for whatever reason, the quiet life is most appealing.
Capcom, UBISOFT, Bizzare, Konami or MGS....
'nuff said.

In five years I want to be a some what know film director. I'm not looking for Kuibrick noterity, just making a good 90-100 k a year. Also being able to practice and teach Kendo.
Sleep, Game, Photoshop, Eat, Get a job, anime, occasional manga, and SUDDENLY come into a large sum of money (ie Uncles Aunts Grandparents other Relatives)
Once a moocher always a moocher!
I'm official.
Yeah I've had these thoughts too, but honestly, what does it matter if you are remembered or not when you're dead anyway? Not like you can enjoy itOriginally Posted by BOARD_of_command
I don't think it's about enjoying your success, but about knowing that you lived one hell of a live during your last moments.
So for you, its all about living for those last moments?

Yeah, I kinda feel like that too. I want my life to have been worth something ( I know someone's definatly going to make fun of me for this later). All I know is that I want to contribute something great to society. I have a big intrest in astronomy, so who knows.......
