Forbes characterizes the people on their
perennial “30 Under 30” list as motivated
by their “ambition and impatience.” When
you’re making goals, you’re already asking
yourself what you want to set out to do,
and how you’re going to do it.
And by asking yourself that, you’re already
giving yourself a sense of purpose. You’re
not just trudging on with a fuzzy dream of a
future; you have a concrete reality that you
know how to reach. The latter is especially
important because youth is best defined by
a sense of being at a loss: Clock how many
films with young leads in this decade alone
have been about disillusionment and not
knowing where to go.
Of course, it’s important to make sure
your plans are flexible. “The action plan
is a statement of intentions rather than
a commitment. It must not become a
straitjacket,” Drucker later said in a 2004
article. You might figure out that the goals
you made when you were 18 don’t apply
anymore when you’re 28. And that’s totally
fine. If you come to that point, then it’s time
to set new goals.
