Why is it that we even try?

Yeah, man I know this feeling.
I think the way out is finding something you know you want to do.

All this stuff we're going through right now is just society's way of helping us get somewhere in life so we at least have some skills to survive. But if we find an aim thats beyond all this, we don't have to stick around to finish "college, school" , we don't have to waste our time. We can just go do it! When our puncoolion to do something develops so strong we become fearless of the consequences, that's when we'll have the answer to "why are we trying to hard". I think a lot of us don't know what we want to do, thats' why we're kind of just going along with this education stuff for now. At least we don't mess up too bad we can't have a decent way of living later on. But yes, if we settle now, we'll always be asking this question of why we try so hard. Because we'll live with no goal! But if we did, if we stopped caring about these college names, numbers...while we're young, maybe we'll get an answer.

The more I think of it, the more I feel that relationships are the most important in life too. Whatever we accomplish we won't be able to take with us. All we can remember when we die is the connections we had with people we loved. Doing big things in life won't really mean anything. But small things done with all your heart will impact people and make a difference.

We try because we don't know what we are capable of. I'd rather think that we should keep on trying and never give up. Even though a situation might push us to give up, we never know if it will get better. There will be times when things are not flowing the way that we want it to be, such as failing to go to the college that we want to go or our goal suddenly isn't fitting. No one ever knows when and what will happen in the future. I think it is important for us to not to panic, but to be calm and try to figure out an alternative. There are successful people who didn't went to college. Yet we are focused on getting into college because the society wants us to get into college. Let us just know that society cannot dictate our decisions. Whatever we do, we make our own decisions. Like Emily said, set your goals high. Everything will eventually follow up. Even though your goal might not seem fit, another set of goal will follow up. Don't lose hope!

We try because because we want to achieve our goals. People set up their goals to test their limitation. Setting a certain goal plays a crucial role in life. By experiencing certain things, people will learn their mistakes and will try to do better. As Nick mentioned, there are certain people who are successful without attending to universities. However, I do believe those people have worked hard to be in that successful position. I think it is important to have a perseverance like Steve Jobs. Jobs had built Apple into multibillion company in early 1980s, but disappointing sales led to his ouster in 1985. He later looked back on this incident and said that getting fired from Apple was one of the best things had ever happened to him because it helped him regain a sense of freedom and innovation. He was able to make Apple into global company because he never gave up. Even though we are going through difficulties, we should never give up in order to achieve our goals.

I think college is basic things in our generations. Just like graduating elementary school. We need to do something that are basic in our life. There are some people who is successful even though they didn't graduate college, but there are some reasons that they have to be successful. The success is depend on how you do in daily days and preparation of your future. For example, Steve Jobs was only graduated high school because he didn't know point of going to college, but he was very different from other. He was well known about technologies and he knew what he had to do at that point. He proved that his action was right. It is very rare to be sure what we are doing and it is hard to be different from other people. When we trying hard, the consequences will be very good.
