The ones, who know exactly what they want in life and always get it. They work as long as it takes and as hard as they can, to get what they want.
And then there is the other kind, who don't really have a clue about all that. They just love to relax and chill and hang out (preferably all at once:) and enjoy life.
I'm - one of the second kind. Disciplin is not really an attribute of mine.
I live after my one own rule: "When you do nothing, at least you can't do anything wrong".
I'm also never doing my work immediately. I'm always waiting and waiting until it's either inescapable or too late anyway.
I've never started preparing myself for more than 2 days before any exam or even my finals. If I had a paper to do and a lot of time to write it, I'd wait for the last damn day and stay up all night.
Maybe I can't work without the pressure, or more likely, I'm just very, very bad in organizing my life.
The good thing is, I know I'm not alone with all that. (Thank God) There are many people out there, who do it the same way.
But nevertheless I also know, that I was never more jealous about anything in my life, than about the disciplined people around me.
I've always loved to travel - cruises, city tours, beach resorts - but my dream has always been to go on a real adventure.
A foreign country, a foreign culture and no plans. Not to know what's going to happen next but excited to experience what so ever.
In my opinion it's quite dangerous, trying to fulfil a dream. I was scared that I would lose mine forever.
But at some point, we just have to get out of our comfort-zone. Maybe it's the only way, to get some freedom back in our lifes.
Because of my desire for this freedom, I became a person, who I've never been but always wanted to be.
I worked hard, earned some money, never complained, got rid of all my doubts, packed my backpack and finally started my personal adventure.
At the other end of the world. Down Under. Australia.
And I have to say: The hardest part of it all, was the first step. The step out of my comfort-zone and into life.
The moment you leave it, is terrifying, but above all, it's breathtaking.
I had no idea, how I'll do or where I'll end up, but the second I went on the plain, I knew one thing for sure:
I will never regret anything about this.
Because now I'm one of the kinds, that know exactly what they want in life and always get it, because I work as long as it takes and as hard as I can, to get what I want.
