Why can some people steadily reach their goals in life, one after another, as if they were born with these goals (like a train moving confidently on the rail track), while others "float" trying to understand what they want (like a boat on a lake)? Why do some people know what they want to be/have in life and others don't? Does it by any chance depend on the upbrining? education (knowledge)? social environment? character?
Which one is better to be - "the train" (going on the rails firmly but with a risk of running off the track in case of a single error) or "the boat" (enjoying the flow but risking to fail in reaching the shore)? Should we feel sorry for the former or the latter?
Generally, do people have to know what they want to reach (have/be) in life?

Me - 'the boat' for now, although I was 'the train' coupla years back :) Don't think we should feel sorry for anyone... I guess the worst case scenario is for 'the train' to wake up one day and realize that all the goals achieved were not the 'real' goals.. You know - having a big shift in values.. In general my lesson learned is to take things easy - then life is so much more pleasant and stressless. Of course there is a zillion of 'ifs' and 'buts' here - and always will be..
