Achievement Schedule

I almost forgot that I've made MeiMei a promise yesterday :P
Well, it all started when she told me about the 24 things Kenny did when he was twenty four which has sparkled an idea in her to follow suit on her blog.

I thought it was a great idea until I realised that there actually isn't much things under my belt even at the age of 22 [I mean, do I even need a belt to keep them?].

The same thing goes to her and she sighed while telling me the relative big gap between her and Kenny. I tried to console her saying that we can't actually do this kinda comparison with other people because everybody is different, but I think my words weren't convincing enough as I know I thought the same thing about myself too -_-

Seriously, life is miserable with such kinda comparison.
It makes you feel like you're constantly way behind something. Like you're living your life too slow that you're missing a lot of fun and etc. That kinda thing really makes me feel like I'm behind a schedule. And I'm telling you that there's actually a schedule for that. A schedule which everybody is following without realising it - I call it "the achievement schedule".

Basically it's a self-built schedule that tells you what you're expected to have and own by a certain age.

Like for example, I read about Kenny sponsored a World Vision child at 24, and then my brain will go like "wow he already can sponsor a dono-who at just 24! Look at yourself. What have you done?" and then my brain will automatically adjust the schedule to tell that I should be able to do the same when I turn 24.

Or maybe I read a fashion magazine and then I see this 22-year-old young male model gracing the cover of it, and my brain go like "Wow he's the same age as you and now he's on the cover!" and then my achievement schedule will be adjusted to tell that I'm simply behind the schedule because other people have already done more stuffs than me at the same age.

So, basically the conclusion is that humans are good at making themselves feel miserable -_-

Ok. Back to the list.

Instead of writing about the things I've done [i think I always do that on my blog, right? no?], me and MeiMei finally decided that writing about our targets and goals is a good idea :D

When I told MeiMei my targets and goals are actually in the form of just a wish list, she went (-_-) and I could see she wasn't very impressed. hehe :P

To be honest, I'm actually a person without much motivation except living on a wish list. Well probably the list is just for now, or maybe.... but we don't know what will happen in the future, right?


Oh shit i'm so sleepy.
Wish list? Maybe later...
Good night.
