Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

          Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? Probably this is the most challenging question in the near future of my life. But in my opinion finishing University with a degree as good as possible will be the best start you can have. Also I think it is very important to have the best basis you can reach for your future life and what would be better than an outstanding result at University. Furthermore I would probably try to finish graduate classes. Right after this big step there will be several ways possible. I haven’t decided yet, what kind of way would be the best to choose? But my time as a student will go on for at least 3-4 years if everything works exactly like I imagined it.

          So there are many days left to make my final decision. One way could be that I will try to introduce myself to several companies, such as Boeing, Airbus, Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin or Cassidian. One of my dreams is to become a part in the military aircraft sector. This whole part of the aerospace industry includes a lot of challenging topics, of which every single one is totally interesting to me. But in my case I would prefer to become an analysis in developing several new parts in the cockpit, including the HUD (Head-up display) and improvements in controlling the whole Jet (Flight Control System). After all the system is probably the most important part of an airplane, because you will not be able to fly a modern Fighter without any sort of electronically support. Although the sector I am studying now wasn’t related to the field, but it was always a dream of me to join the military and to help protecting our country from whatever there will be. Unfortunately is it not that easy to become a part of the military forces. For that reason I have to think about it twice and maybe there is the possibility to join some other forces under special circumstances. It is never easy to reach your goals especially when they seem to be untouchable in this moment. But, I like challenges.

          However, things never get enough for me. I always hope to help out my own family business but I never get the chance to do so. My dad never allowed me to do that for some reasons. Somehow when I’m matured enough to take care of my own career, I’m going to take over the business and make it more innovative. For example, if the business is all about exporting stuffs to other countries, I would like to gain publicity and attention through e-commerce system for example, through online. As far as I know, my family business is only focusing on Southeast Asia. If I get to take over the business, I’d expand it to Europe and the United States. It has always been my dream to travel around the world. So, when I’m having my business trip to those Western Countries, I can enjoy my vacation as well. It’s never too late to explore the beauty of this world that God created.

          Moreover, when I am old enough to form a family, I will do that eventually although I have no one to do with currently. I think 5 years is more than enough for me to build up my own career and a family. Maybe you will think that it’s too early for us to talk about marriage and families, but this is a part of my future plans too. I am 25 years old this year, and I am going to be 30 years old in 5 years time. Basically there’s no more time for me to waste. As a man, we should always bear the responsibility to take care of your own family and make them feel proud of you.

          Last of all, I would like to say that, dreams and plans are two totally different things. I know my plans weren’t that great, but dreams are meant to be achieved! I hope that everyone can reach their dreams and do what they want to do, living their lives to the max.
