There is this 13 year old girl who does amazing paintings. Her name is Akiane and you can view her artwork from age 6 to age 13 on her website. Truly amazing.
Sometimes I listen to National Public Radio's broadcast "From the Top" which features talented kids playing classical music. Not only can they play the music on their violin, but when interviewed, they can properly pronounce the name of the piece of music & the composer.
Do you ever feel like you should be doing more with your life? Like somehow, you have already missed your peak?
Occasionally I find myself searching for a little significance for my life. What are my pursuits? My goals? What impact am I having on those goals? Every New Year's Day I take stock of the past year.
What about you? Do you have a 5 or 10 year plan? Do you have an ultimate destination? Are there sacrifices you find yourself having to make along the way? Or is it helpful in eliminating some of the good stuff for the best stuff?

I've read about this new trend among late twentysomethings called "the quarter life crisis" that has everything to do with a dawning disillusionment to life goals and five year plans. I won't be as successful or famous or fulfilled as I imagined I would in college... so now what do I do? what do I pursue? Interesting stuff, thanks for the thought-provoking post.
5 year plan=completey switch careers into what i love to do, full-time. i'm taking baby steps...
10 year plan=have company at a point (make enough $) where i can buy a farm and raise goats and make goat cheese. seriously. haha.
