Life Direction

The single most task of a person's life is to know one's direction in life i.e. what one wishes to do with this life and accomplish within this lifetime. The owner and creator of this web page grew up with the same generation of people whom the international media has dubbed "Generation-X". The so-called "Generation-Xers" who grew up in these decades of general international peace and stability appeared to have lost their direction in life because technology had become so advanced that Mankind seemed to reached the peak of civilization. One group of "Generation-Xers" became so dazzled by these technology until they engross themselves in their worlds of MTV, dyed hair, tattoos, body piercing, rap music and grunge dressing. Another group of "Generation-Xers" became so disillusioned with the fast paced, competitive world that they chose to opt out of the system, drowning themselves in angst, heavy metal music, drugs and alcohol.

Somehow, the owner and creator of this web page cannot identify with the same generation of "Generation-Xers". He feels that everyone is born into this world to accomplish a purpose. Given the shortness of human lifespan, each person only has a few decades to do as many things as possible. And yet certain tasks cannot be realized within that short period. Thus, one doesn't really have the luxury of wasting this short lifespan away. Hence, the first priority in life is to identify one's goal and sense of direction, and then dedicate all energies into bringing whatever dreams into actuality. Once a person commits himself or herself towards fulfilling his or her direction in life, the opinions of others count for little because one has chosen to stake everything on that chosen life direction. The sense of purpose in life is all or nothing; there can be no wavering otherwise one would accomplish nothing.
