ight this is something ive been thinking about for a long time and i thought it would be a good idea to share with you kids for your wisdome lol. I think this thread is actually directed toward some of you older people like past your teenage, drinking, smoking, and partying years. Like as a teenager im 16 btw, i wake up in the morning with like hopes and goals in life. For example i want to get really good at skiing and im sure as many of us we all dream get really good and win some bigger comps and make a name for yourself in skiing lol. Another goal and hope in my life (not to sound like a fag) is to have alot of fun with friends and at partys, smoke weeda every now and then, to fuck some girls, drink, and to have alot of fun and make alot of friends as i go through life. Also of course i go to skool and try to do decent and make it through with some good grades. Like now as a teenager i have things to look forward to lik skiing, partys, sex, even school and all the other things i stated above. Im pretty sure you know what i mean. So like as an adult, when all the hardcore skiing, partys, bitch macking, and weed smoking days are over WHAT THE FUCK ENCOURAGES YOU TO GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING? Like i dont see the purpose of even living when you cant do the childish things that i said. Like when your married and have kids and are all settled down what is there to do fun in life that motivates you to keep living? All you do is wake up, go to work, come home, yell at the kids, do some work on the house or some other stupid things and then go to bed? like there is no goals or anything interesting or even fun for you to strive for. like i just dont see the purpose in living if there is no goals or anything interesting to strive for.

Please explain this to me because i just dont see it i guess?
 
i will have to philosifize a little...

the whole purpouse of man, woman, and growing up...puberty...is for sex really. not like,"oh theres a hot girl, let me talk to her and bring her back to my place for some fun games...like battleship....

it is for repoducing, like babies 'n' all, the problem is, is that there are tow many people in the world right now, so safe sex is better.

Babies, reproduction, sex...ect. whatever the fuck you want to call it, that is what growing up? being a grown up is about actuall.
 
wow, you make me depressed. why dont you just commit suicide after highschool then. i personally have goals that will last me into adulthood and i look forward to living when i get out of bed every day.
 
When it all comes down to it, we got here with reproduction, maybe a little inbreeding, but the purpose of man and woman is to reproduce. End of story.
 
who says you can't smoke weed when your older?

and who says you can't ski when your older?

or have friends

or have a hobby.

seriously man, no matter what age there's always something to live for.
 
Dude, i think you've got something there... buttttt

what says you can't have fun when you get older? ( i know someone said this already) but i'm 19 going to be 20 in the summer and i'm balls deep in a BS in mechanical engineering and and an MBA program. I still find time to have fun. and i know a lot of older people who do the same. They are in the top of what they do in the ski industry and have kids and still find time to wine and dine and have some fun and maybe smoke some green when they're out and don't have to worry about their kids.

its not about just having fun man, its about doing what you love, respecting your responsibilities and then making life as good as possible while you can.
 
the point of life is work work work work work and then have fun on the weekend. That is about it. I just graduated from college and i leave for work at 7am and get home at 8pm at the earliest every day. But that is what I need to do to get where I want to be and that is what keeps me going, the fact that if I get up, bust my ass, and put in the time, I will be able to do what I want in the future. Thats what keeps me going, but I defnitley agree that it can be pretty pointless and sometimes its not worth it. You just have to go for what you want or you won't be happy, thats the bottom line.
 
for me personally i want to grow up and work hard and create a kid. so then that kid can experience everything that i experienced and so on. its kind of like the movie pay it forward. that is why i'm busting ass in college (thats got a double meaning, im working hard, and i am literally busting girls' asses)
 
I somehow think that having children of your own will trump many of the joys you will experience as a teenager, I could be horribly wrong though as I have yet to see how that turns out.

For me I think a lot of my joy will come out of traveling, I want to see everything I possibly can before I die, Period.
 
I see that as fairly narrow minded when you believe that there is only one purpose to being alive. Be born, breed, die...just doesn't seem right to me.
 
Its not narrow minded...I have a lot..alot to live for..But what is the point of me being alive? To reproduce.
There things you live for, enjoy, want to get out of bed every morning for...Then theres the point of life.
 
I am getting near the end of college. I spend alot of time in class, doing homework or holding down a job. But when the weekend comes the party never stops. I see kids around my age starting to slow down...stop partying...stop smoking...stop drinking. For me the party will never stop. Having kids is and getting married is still a distance away.

Bottom line i want to graduate, get a job, and spend the money on myself having fun before i settle down. The whole one woman thing just doesn't cut it right now ahahha
 
What motivates me in the morning? The couple thousand spend on classes that i should go to, plus skiing.
 
life is nutsif you think to deep into it you get lost so easilythe whole concept to we are a living thing with a couscous that is able to realize the fact that we are actualy here on a piece of rock floating in oblivious is nuts, the fact that we are all so vulnerable to everything to the point were we can die in a split second and just seize to exist is also nuts.So far for me the meaning of my life has been to just have fun, take advantage of the good times, understand that life brings bullshit at random times but you need to deal with it, there is literaly one way out of it all of this so of course pretty much everyone wants to be succesful and make something of themselfs some day. Its just like no one is perfect, why stress the one life you live on your imperfections. Personaly i dont care what i do as long as im content and meet alot of chill people i will feel accomplished
 
Dear OP,

I would like you to consider the wonderful option that is suicide. Many other noble souls and great philosophers of our time have come to the same realization as you. There is no purpose in life, but in death, ahh yes then one can truly realize his fullest potential as a human being. Oh and suicide is the most logical death. By ending the bitter, disappointing waste that life is, of ones own accord no less, is the height of freedom and expression. By putting a gun down your throat, tying a bag full of helium around your head, or oh yes, taking a bottle full of pills while thousands of ignorant fools look on through your webcam, you are showing the world what it means to reach true enlightenment. So it is with every bit of sincerity in my heart that I urge you, to do it faggot.

 
Being 17 all i want to do is ski, fuck bitches, and get money. Leaving home scares me. I can't imagine sitting behind a computer 8 hours a day 5 days a week for the rest of my life. Both my parents do that and I would be so depressed I don't know how I would get out of bed in the morning.
 
wow douchebag comment much..... that was not a very nice thing at all to say.

To the op, think of your motivation to go learn something new, to get better, to be able to say you can do it, to lead to something greater, etc. The same applies to your life after schooling, you go to work because you want to get something out of it, whether it be money to gain something, to take part in some sort of project that you can claim that you helped accomplish, to raise and provide for your own family, and give them the best lives possible, to be able to say that you did that, or even just to enjoy the life you have and do what makes you happy.
 
Alright...Im high and Ill try to shed some wisdom or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.So Im 18 years old. Ive been through some shit and and met some people who have been through a lot more and been around people who, to me are a prime example of why you want to live when your older.
So Ill start off with my grandpa..He was a marine and worked hard his whole life. Worked until 85 years old, golfed until he died, and loved his life as old as he was. He loved making people happy, living right next to the ocean-his favorite thing, golfing, and his family. I guess its something most people learn as they get older and more mature. I dunno..maybe Im making no sense, but it makes sense to me. You just learn to value different things in life.
Ive also been to jail, rehab, whatever. Been in the streets. I wanna do well so I can support my family, support my future children, help out people I love. I wanna pay back those people who gave me everything they had to offer.
I dunno, but I feel like your values definitely change when you get older. So maybe going for a walk on the beach when your older is the equivalent of partying right now. So right now you value the wild crazy times parting, but you enjoy the peace and solitude later in life.
Im sure this is no more than common sense, or just a basic understanding of your surroundings.
 
See this is everyones problem. You just described everyones boring dull life. Why does everything have to revolve around a 9-5 job? Why is everyone so afraid to pursue their dreams? Go out and do something with your life, don't settle for anything really take advantage of your situation. I'm going to make a name for myself, I dunno about all of you but I can't stand living in a nice little cozy house with a white picket fence and 2.4 kids.
 
Sorry for the double.

People need to realize that they CAN do anything they want. The only thing holding them back from being the greatest thing ever is yourself. No one can hold me back, I know that for sure, if that was the case I would be dead now. But I struggled through a whole lotta shit to get where I am now. You CAN do anything. Everyone has enough talent to do whatever they want. People give up because they think they have to get a "real" job. Fuck real jobs, its modern slavery. I'm not going to get some 9-5 office space job where all I do is delete code. Fuck that. Get out and find what you really want. Then go do it until you can't anymore.

Actually live your life for god's sake. What is wrong with everyone? Why would you ever dash your OWN dreams? You really have to believe in yourself to accomplish anything I said. And you really have to commit, you have to KNOW you can do anything.

So hopefully that little rant convinced a few people to actually do something with their life. If not, well, have fun with a 9-5 the world always needs blue collar workers
 
after u get off that depressing acne medication then we shall talk about what life is all about for now just live it up and have no regrets
 
What gets me up in the morning...

Teaching a potential Tom Wallisch.

Seeing A51 from my pillow.

Getting paid (even though the pay sucks).
 
dude i might just kill you in your sleep, dye my hair red, and steal your id...

THEN YOU WONT GET TO TAKE PART IN THE SHENANIGANS!

lol
 
Chris rock ahah, I know what you mean though man. Not saying I wont get a job, but it will not be for long, only as a stepping stone for a need be situation. Careers are much better
 
Your values will, like, definitely change, like when you get old and stuff. Im 19 right now and definitely in the party stage, but i realize it won't be as intense after my college years but im content with that. It doesn't mean that i won't enjoy life because im not shitfaced several days a week. I'll still have good friends, meet new people, party on occasion, and generally enjoy life. Once im out of college i probably won't look for a serious career with my business career immediately, i'll probably spend some time trying to find a job on a hill, chill with friends, try to afford to travel, and just do what i love. When i find the spot thats right with the right opportunity i can see myself being very happy rasing a kid, teaching him/her to ski, and trying to use my degree for a decent job to support a family. Im glad im not the only high kid on this site, shits getting deep, but i guess what im trying to say is at 16 you can't really have a valid interpretation of what values are going to be your priority when you get older. Just always enjoy yourself in the moment, lifes short so do what you love doing.
 
It seems like everyone is overlooking how rewarding the events that take place later in life can be. Personally, I think it's going to be amazing to have the power of being an adult. If everything works out right, you can have:

1) A ballin career (that you actually enjoy and like going to every day). This will give you not only power and success but money. Hopefully enough that you can live in a giant house, drive fast cars, take awesome vacations and have lots of toys. Don't forget that adults still have parties, only at adult parties they drink expensive wine and sip on top shelf whiskey. Oh yeah and power is just as rewarding as money. Knowing that you can influence people and change things is a pretty amazing feeling. I can't wait till I have to wear a suit every day. Gonna be sick.

2) A wife that you married because she really is "the one" (as in being married to her is not viewed as a sacrifice of getting pussy, but a reward because you get to have her forever). Just make sure she hits the gym a lot so she never gets fat. That would be teh suckage...

3) Kids. This is gonna be awesome I think. You get to mold a mini me. Parenting is gonna be sweet because whatever you do will shape how awesome your kid is. How cool will it be to go riding with your kid or watch them dominate the other kids at a soccer game. Guarantee you'll be proud when they show you they got an A on a test or bring home their hot girlfriend. Someone in another thread said something like "papabear loves knowing that his cub is out pounding vag" haha

Then again if everything doesn't work out then you can have a job you hate, a ton of credit, a shitty car, a fat wife, kids who are failures, and never get to take vacations. If this is the case then yeah...suicide is probably the best option...
 
when i was 18 i moved away from oregon to utah and lived the life partying, hooking up with girls, doing some drugs, not going to school, not having a single care in the world. im going on my fifth season being a ski bum living pay check to pay check. strapped trying to get by every month working my two cool jobs. and i have now realized i want to get married and have kids.
im tired of being a ski bum honestly. im not tired of skiing, tired of being a bum. i grew up with a family that pushed me through everything in life. i was heavily committed to boy scouts and was taught to give back give back give back to the community, the citizens, the nation. i grew up in life being taught amazing skills and talents from my dad and mom from scouting and from school and friends and many other things that have been influential in my up bringing. for almost 5 years i have been a quiet ski bum who hasnt helped produce or create a great nation and i had the strongest desire to join the army. I am currently working on my enlistment proccess and now im just waiting on a physical then i will swear in. Im gonna go into a health care specialty (field medic). my plan is to be a medic with rangers and hopefully get to a special forces unit as a medic after sometime with rangers. I want people to depend on me. i want to be bigger then i am. I want to help civilians also. I want to serve for the good ol' US of A. I want to help this nation get back on its feet. Then when im done i want to be a nurse in a hospital with kids.
im 22. and thats my motivation when i wake up now. I want to be bigger then i am.
 
I'm pretty sure you answered your question. You called them 'childish' things. That means its obviously a phase in your life that you enjoy during your childhood/young adulthood. When you get older, you have different phases that motivate, inspire, and keep you going. Everything in life is constantly changing, and even though you think you wont be doing these things in the future, you will be, but on different levels. Don't worry, if it was bad, there'd be no adults. They obviously see a reason and purpose of living, even though we haven't realized it yet.
