PLANS

This time last year (2005), I already knew how I would be spending the next two years. Living in Finland. Now, I don’t know where I will be this time next year. I guess a job would be the best option seeing that I will end this degree over my head in debt. A sponsored PhD would equally be useful. I just don’t want to be ordinary. Mediocrity is my greatest fear. Plans will make it easer for my to shape my future.

Every passing moment is a new opportunity to change the course of your life forever. In perception, one moment lasts 5 seconds. That’s 12 opportunities per minute, 720 per hour, 17280 per day, 6 307 200 per year.

On June 1st, exactly one full year before my time in Finland will end, I will have approximately 6 307 200 opportunities to change my life forever. I plan to not waste any of them.

...although sadly, I'm sure I will...
