I often wondered what my life will be ten years down the road. Would i be leading the life i want? Would it be satisfying and fulfilling? Would i have made any achievements? Would i be happy?

Right now as im going through probably the last stages of my education - which thankfully did materialise successfully from what i imagined and dreamed of ten years ago - i've been doing much thinking about my future (or day-dreaming as my mom puts it). I dont know if i should be calling it "Setting targets and goals", but i guess i should. So lets see:

By age 21/22,
After graduating, love to do postgrad (though definitely not at Curtin), but should work and clear debt first.
So - apply for positions at local production houses and tv networks. Must be officially working and starting to climb the ladder by then.

By age 24,
Earn enough to repay parents at least half the loan.
Continue working hard to build up experience - should at least begin to take on slightly senior positions on the production team. Must have established excellent team rapport.

By age 27,
Own at least a second-hand car while continuing to repay loan. Rent and a flat/apartment with a good friend outside.
Rise through the ranks. Must be able to helm major projects with greater confidence and less room for error.
Accumulate more experience.

By age 29,
Take on permanent senior position. Should at least be Asst. Producer and/or Asst. Director.
Repay all debts.
Save up to buy own place and get married (will resort to joining SDU if need be).

By age 30,
Hold enough control to oversee projects and execute decisions.
Consider jumping ship to bigger/better firm if opportunity arises.
Must have at least travelled to Western Europe.
Have a family.

Is my 10-year plan realistic? I hope so.
Will it work out this way or even better, or hopefully not, worse? Only God knows.
But can i look back this same day in 2016 and proudly thank God again that what im dreaming of now did materialise? I must say that i will.
And it all starts - now.
