"The World is your oyster."

Above is a cliched statement. Many were probably told this, but I surely wasn't. People are told by their parents that they can do great things, that they are special. That they have the power to do amazing things. (I wasn't, but eh is not being disillusioned a problem now?) The key to this is simple. You are born, you go to school, you go to college, you go to university. You get a job. People try and escape the system but ultimately they can't.

You can't just leave university and do something amazing. Well, not strictly speaking, you could do but the majority of the time, no you're a generic student who drinks lots and has a degree and no idea what to do with it. Maybe you'll attempt to fulfil your dreams.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be many things. A dinosaur, for instance. A spaceman. A soldier, a Space Marine, an officer, a lawyer, a detective. Indeed I'm still rather childish about the whole thing. No idea where I'm going.

But at the end of the day, regardless of the endless institutions and drawn out paths. The world is your oyster. Work hard and you can do amazing things. I don't get those with no motivation, the lazy ones with no attempt to make a future who believe they are doomed to work retail. Work against it, study, do projects, anything.

Spend hours designing that subspace laser cannon. Then you'll get noticed.
