They say that you should have goals in life. Aim for the stars, even if you fail, you will still land on the moon; which is better than staying on the ground doing nothing. When I was in college, I dreamed of being a billionaire by 30. Now that I am 30, although I am financially stronger than many of my peers at my age, I am nowhere near becoming a billionaire.
Regardless, I do have a few goals that I want to achieve in life. One of my goals is to provide what I received from my parents growing up to my future generations. I believe that life is unfair. Some people are born with a silver spoon but some people are born with nothing. However, let’s say you inherit RM10 million from your parents in addition to the overseas education that you have received; if you end up with RM1 million in 30 years, to me, you have failed in life. My goal is to perform better than my parents financially. Of course, it’s not only financially, I need to become a better role model for the future generation.
Another goal of mine is to reach financial independence as early as possible. If I reach financial independence early enough, meaning, the cost my future generation’s education taken care of, loans paid for and living lifestyle accounted for. Once I reached financial independence, I can pursue any projects that I want to pursue. I can confidently and safely pursue high risk entrepreneurial ventures without risking my family’s future. That is the reason reaching financial independence as soon as possible is one of my goals.
One of my goals is to contribute to society in a positive way. I would like to become like Bill Gates, using my personal wealth for the greater good to the world. I hope to become one of the positive influences to the society.
As you can see, the goals that I mentioned above are financially related. After all, the title of this site is: “Voyage to Wealth”. I hope that I will achieve these goals of mine. If I achieve all of them, I can proudly say that I have lived a good life.
