I Feel I Should Have Achieved More In School, Work, In Life, Anyone Feels Like Me?

Isn't that an achievement too. Being a homemaker and living happily. Maintaining the boat steady is also a task, isn't it?

 

Yes I agree but she couldn’t make anything professionally! Ofcousre it’s her choice! I wonder why she spent day and night on her studies!

 

Maybe that's the reason why she is able to be a homemaker. She did the mental exercise earlier itself! I am not against a woman having a career, but I think maintaining a balance between profession and home is a big challenge. Also, I guess, most women and some men too want to call it quits after some time but need to go on for personal reasons.

 

sorry I disagree n don't understand why you quoted my post in this context. Can you explain?

 

I mentioned that in general nothing personal!

 

Quite the opposite here. I used to be a nose-to-the-grindstone, burning-the-midnight-oil kind of student. Now, I wish I had relaxed a bit and made more time for fun.

I guess one's definition of success changes over the years. Currently, for me, success is having time to enjoy my family and friends, enough resources for roti-kapda-makaan and, above all, sukh-shanti.

Found this thread!
I think I am here right now.I could have done more.I was a high ranker throughout and and immensely hard working person .A couple of bad decisions and primarily the habit of making others the priority rather than me , especially after marriage,hindered my professional growth.
But I have also seen people with lesser ambition and input having made it to the top.So I placate myself by saying that nothing beats destiny.
Though I have been a great believer of hustle and hardwork but at age 45 I can't deny that privilege and destiny are the king and queen and they decide one's station.

 

Indeed.
a blank post signify anything or many Things!

One can begin achieving things at any age in life. No need to cry over spilt milk.
Think KFC.

I wanted the poster to share her experience - which got typed into the body of the quote, hence the post was blank. It's too late to edit now.
