• Will You Ever Be Of Importance?
    72 replies, posted
I quite often think, what will I be in the future. I mean, I don't have any skills, I don't know anyone rich, and I am not rich. I will be coming from a middle class family, and have nothing to do. I have thought about the National Guard, but a 8 yr commitment is a bit too much, but than again, it might help me. I just, can't see me being anyone in the future, my parents have told me I will be someday, but the older I get, the less i believe it. It seems like it was false hope.. Well, now that I have rambled on, what do you think? Do you think anyone will be of importance? Do you ever feel like your going to be a failure?
Everyone is important!
I'm going to rule the world one day, and eventually, nuke everyone and everything. Then kill myself.
Impotence is far more likely.
kill yourself
Highly unlikely i'll be remembered even on government records.
Basically you just need to quit BAWWing. It's rare for a young person to know what he wants to do in life in terms of career, family, etc. etc. Just live your life; you don't need to have a great career or tons of money to be "somebody" in life. You shouldn't be striving to be remembered in history books, you should be content with having lived your life knowing you'll be remembered by those you cared about.
OP you will be remembered... for making a crap thread.
Though i'd like to have a significant impact on the world, such a thing is far easier said than done. Even uttering a phrase that changes the way we think isn't easy. Don't expect the universe to do you any favours; it doesn't even have a brain as far as we know. You gotta earn your own place in the cosmos, build your own temple, create your own legacy.
There was a person in the universe thread who said this: [QUOTE=linksysruler;26639956]I like taking a laser pointer and pointing it to the sky and thinking that maybe in a few hundred years that ray of light will end up on a star or planet somewhere and I'll know that something I caused spanned the void of space and reached out to another solar system. Maybe it will keep going on and on millions of years after I'm dead and bring light into a corner of the universe that was once dark. I like knowing that something so trivial and insignificant could very well be my greatest achievement.[/QUOTE] Sometimes the smallest of things can be your greatest achievement.
You use far too many commas.
To my children, yes, anyone else? Probably not.
Being important is overrated. A large proportion of rich people are social trash anyways, being wealthy doesn't really make you important unless you have made a huge innovation that will last for generations.
How should I know? Maybe I can ask baby vagina
I'd like to be an actor. Not for the sake of importance but for the sake of acting. It's a passion. :iia: With that I guess comes fame, don't know if importance applies though. Probably not.
No one is really important, but everyone should feel important. Because if you don't treat yourself as important, neither does anyone else.

Looking at what direction it's going now, I'd say there's a small chance that I'll do something significant in the future. [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] Then again it depends what you define as "important".
I'm going to revolutionise the pornographic industry and become famous world-wide.
I am going to defeat napoleon... ooh wait... im to late arent i? Perhaps some clocks would help me travel back in time?
I'm going to become Dictator of England.
If the whole age of the universe was condensed about into the length of 1-hour tv episode (minus commercials), the history of the species "homo sapiens" would be one frame. One lousy frame, too quick to notice. That's every single human being that has lived. Not just written down history, but all of the species. All of that, taking place on a little rocky ball called Earth. The basic rule of physics is that entropy always wins. In essence it means that everything is gonna end up breaking apart into energy and dissipate. [B]Everything[/B]. For an example of entropy; heat flowing from a warm thing to a cold thing: It happens spontaneously, but heat never goes from cold to hot by itself. Even protons are believed to decay and break apart, spreading their energy. From small things to big and massive, even black holes, the ultimatum in gravity, eventually evaporate due to hawking radiation. From a viewpoint like that, we might as well just off ourselves now. In the end nothing really matters. Sounds emo but it's cold facts. The universe doesn't care about us. [B]But[/B] on the other hand, every single one of us is important. Humans are conscious creatures, yet to meet another species capable of same. Every single one of us is different and special. There's a lot of us on this planet, each and single one doing their own thing, achieving some purpose. It's sometimes kinda overwhelming to just look at a busy highway and think that each and everyone of those people is hurrying somewhere, to someone, to do something which matters to them. They all have their lives with their own history. All heading somewhere. Just as overwhelming is to think of what science has achieved and what it's heading to. The rate of scientific progress is constantly speeding up. More and more, faster and faster. So much that predicting what the future will look like in a 1000 years is just impossible. We can't know what science will unlock. It's all relative to your viewpoint. Don't think too big or it'll mess you up.
Everyone is important, look at the average facepunch user for example. Most likely a lonely nerd with few friends. Now he is probably the loser of the school so when everyone else is having a bad day they can look at him and say "at least I'm not that kid" so look at it that way too. You the loser, are making someone elses day better for being such the lonely fagot that you are.
When I take over the universe, I will write a book, set up "work" camps and perfect the art of cooking with gas. Am I important? :hitler:
I think we should take another look at how we define "importance". I think we should consider people beneficial to society as important, and that could be a doctor, or factory worker, and are both important in their own right. I hope to become a Veterinary Surgeon, it's well respected proffesion, and I suppose that many people see it as important.
I have plans to make a dent via my career plans.
Everyone is important in their own way.
I intend to be an important figure in the literary world, but as long as when I'm 55 someone might walk past me and say "hey man I read your book, I really got where you were coming from" then I can die happy.
Probably not.
