Deep thought on Life,aspirations,future,goals,meaning,belief,anyth ing?


I will leave my mark on the earth before I die. People will remember my name in both the music world and civil engineering world. I don't plan to be famous, and I don't expect to be heard of by every human in the world but people in the know of a certain genre of music, or people with an interest in structures/architecture will have heard of my name.

That my goal in life anyway. So, watch this space :))

Recently I've had some things which have prompted me to think 'bucket-list' thoughts.

At the moment I am flat out with work and it will never ease up as long as I am a teacher so I have no time for piddling about with cars or enjoying everything else. I love teaching for the hours I'm working with the children, but the paperwork, the other teachers, the moany parents, the mountains of marking all do my nut.

I'm earning more money than ever but I don't know what to spend it on, I'm even looking at buying Porsches but I don't really want one. What I really want is a rusty MR2 and some time with my welder and be able to spend my evenings do something other than worrying about the next day.

Then my parents say about having children and the need to save, seems that all of my life has been reaching for a goal - need to finish A levels, need to finish my degree, need to finish teacher training, need to get my NQT year out of the way, need to have children. I just want to chill out.

Thats strange you have almost described my life to a tee except i have no money haha! Im also a teacher in training, have absolutely no time to do anything and no money. Between college, school and work, one week just rolls into the next. I have an eg in the shed since november and all in all have had about 2 hours to work on it. I enjoy the teaching and want to finish my degree but sometimes I feel as if what's the point. At the minute im just working to live until I get qualified and never really have time to have proper fun!

this is what pisses me off,life seems to be all about goals and we are all flat out trying to achieve them, the weeks fly by as we say il take a break when i get this done, weeks turn into months and months to years, and we'll all be old in no time having spent our lives chasing endless goals and never truly being happy, i think we all need to chill out an relax a little, enjoy life and friends and family,...its just so much easier said than done, :angry2:
 
I just wake up and for a shower and a wank, and deal with what lifes throwing at me :)

Ah stop thats exactly it! Teaching seems to be more about the paperwork that you write up for it rather than what happens in the classroom. It ruin's it for all of us. Eh I teach maths, physics, science and applied maths you?
 
Engineering/technology and design communication graphics(technical graphics).Studying in ul.

This t.p has been my first taste of teaching and like you say the paperwork is ridiculous. Unlike the other guys though we get a nice break for our efforts:p

The ek9 does stand out in the teachers parking lot though:)
 
'The Goal' now for me is simply to provide a good life for my family. That means working my way up to a point where my wife can quit her job as social worker, because I hate it and it affects us negatively even if the money is good. I work pretty much flat out to that end, working full time, being a dad, studying towards a BEng and trying to build something out of the BAR idea.

Past that point, it's simply a case of getting by and enjoying life. I don't read the news. I don't give a **** about the world or what goes on in it. I don't give a **** if I change it, or if anyone remembers me when I am gone. So long as my children do, that's all that matters.
