    Lightbulb SLIs, what's your 5 year plan?

    Or 5 day? And less importantly, how do you feel when someone asks you that?

    I don't plan that far into the future, lol. I would never end up following through, because circumstances change. More so, though, I change. That and the more complex a schedule I am expected to conform to, the greater the likelihood I will break it just to be free of it, regardless of the implications at times. I might feel surprised if someone asked me that

    I just have a general idea of what I want to do with my life and that can happen any time between now and death. The details will handle themselves

    5-year plan? You should ask this guy about that:



    On a serious note, I just plan to finish my studies during the next 5 years (in less actuall, but nvm). For everything else I'll just see what's happening.

    Much as I like this post, it's hard to share this sort of thing. Generally I'd like to be stronger and more knowledgeable in my areas of interest, and have more creative works under my belt.

    Why don't you ask an EII what our 5 year plan is? I don't have short term plans but I have long term ones. There's only a thread for EII and 5 DAY plan How the heck should I know what I'm going to do in the next 5 days except I'm scheduled to work every day...so work? That could change though.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    5 years? That's way too far away. Think back to where you were 5 years ago.... Could you have guessed you would be where you are now?

    For me, I see no change on the horizon...uh oh.

    Not a chance.

    Eh. Seems like a common trait among us SLIs. Biggest downside - skepticism.
