The beginning of a big adventure!

It's 2021, we are in a pandemic and my courses are online. It is very difficult to gain motivation by myself because it is obviously not the same as being taught in person and being with people in the same program that can of course motivate you. I had a lot of reflections last night about what to choose for my future. It is a lot better to study when you have a purpose of course. So, after long hours of thinking about possible paths. I had to choose between Computer Science with applied mathematics and Social Science.

Choice 1 : Computer Science.

Choice 2 : Social Science.

Computer Science.

That is a good decision! Because I've always been passionate about that field, and I used to code games when I was 10 to 14 years old. So, maybe that I have a lot of potential in that field, we will see. After this decision, I talked with a guidance counselor. I've asked him, what can I choose for University. He gave me a list of choices and I stayed with 2 that interested me. The first one is a Software engineer, and the other one is a computer engineer.

Choice 1 : Software Engineer.

Choice 2 : Computer Engineer.

Social Science.

After this decision, to be sure, I contacted a guidance counselor. I've always been passionate about the psychology of humans and neurology, so I told him what are the possibilities for University. He gave me a list of choices and I've stayed with psychology.

Choice 1 : Psychology.

Software Engineer.

I chose Software Engineer! I think that's a good choice, I find it very interesting. In Software Engineer we use our specialized knowledge to develop, install, validate, and maintain software systems. So, now that I know what I want, I need to finish my program of course. I am at my session's final. I had straight A's at the beginning, but now I am starting to talk and play a lot with my friends, very late. I am losing motivation. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Avoiding sleeping too late and use google calendar to organize my study sessions.

Choice 2 : Play video games with my friends at night, to get better at it.

Computer Engineer.

I chose Computer Engineer! I think that's a good choice, I find it very interesting. In Computer Engineer we research, design, develop and test computer systems and components such as circuit boards. I am at my session's final. It's starting to get hard. My motivation is slowly diminishing.

Choice 1 : Work hard, it is almost finished!

Choice 2 : Give up.

Psychology.

I chose psychology! I think that's a good choice because I am very interested in the psychology of the human mind. I am in my session's final, I don't find it really hard, because I organize myself with an agenda. Since I do well at school, I have a lot of time off. What should I do at this time?

Choice 1 : Study more and read books.

Choice 2 : Play video games.

Avoiding sleeping too late and use google calendar to organize my study sessions.

That choice completely changed my life! I have now finished my program and I had good grades, because of my time management, and hard work of course. I thought a lot last night about my future. I don't know if I should choose to go on the job market, and create maybe a business, or choosing to study at University for Software Engineer.

Choice 1 : Study at university for Software Engineer.

Choice 2 : Go on the job Market for Computer Science and working on a business.

Play video games with my friends at night, to get better at it.

At first, it was not very bad, but more often than not I played during classes. So, after a long night of reflection, I chose to be a professional video game player and started a Youtube Channel.

Choice 1 : Becoming a Fortnite E-sport player.

Work hard, it is almost finished!

I finished my program! I worked very hard and I got very good grades, but it also showed me that it is more important to work smart and afterward work hard. In this journey of hard work and sacrifice, I learned that discipline can take you somewhere that motivation can't. My hard work gave me the curiosity to study beyond the material given in class, and surpass myself. Now I have 2 choices. To continue, or to take a sabbatical.

Choice 1 : Continue the hard work.

Choice 2 : Take a sabbatical.

Give up.

I chose to give up, and now I have to find a way to live a great life. But, after a whole year of reflection, I decided to restart, and maybe choose another career. Go back to the beginning of the adventure.

Choice 1 : The beginning of a big adventure!

Study more and read books.

I finished my program! It was one of the best choices of my life because it didn't only change my grades, but also my life in general, because of the books. I never thought that I would read one day, but it really changed me (in a good way). For example, I had problems with my French and now I have very good comprehension and speaking. Also, I learned a lot because I learn by myself because if I have a question, I have to answer it by myself. On the other side, I had very good grades. I could go to McGill if I wanted to! Hard work pays off and also reading books.

Choice 1 : Apply to McGill.

Choice 2 : Apply to University Laval.

Play video games.

I started to play a lot. It started to become an addiction and one day I found a girl on a game. It became my girlfriend. After one Two Years, started to live together, so I had to start a new job. But, there was a problem because I had to work a lot of hours to pay the rent. So, I had 2 choices. The first one is to focus on studying and stay at my mom's house, and the other one is to work, study and pay for the house.

Choice 1 : Live with my mom, and study hard.

Choice 2 : Staying with my girlfriend, working and studying at the same time.

Study at university for Software Engineer.

I got accepted to Polytechnic in Montreal! That is because of my time management and hard work. After a month at the University, a friend of mine proposed that I work with him for a business. I accepted! The problem is that it started to take a lot of time, and I had to study for a big exam. Should I take a sabbatical and work on the business or take a pause for the business, and spend most of my time studying?

Choice 1 : Spending my time studying.

Choice 2 : Take a sabbatical, and put all of my efforts into a new business.

Go on the job Market for Computer Science and working on a business.

It maybe sounds impossible, but I could do both the business and my work because of my time management. I worked 30 hours per week, which is not a lot of course, but it helped me have the money I needed. I lived in a small house with my friend, and we created an application that can help your mental health. My friend is a neurologist, and I am a Computer Scientist. We contacted a lot of psychologists for this business. The drawbacks of that experience were that I didn't have any social life. I was working 12 hours every day and more. Some days, I was sleeping for 3 hours. It was very difficult but I had a goal and I didn't want to give up. At the moment, I am writing you this I'm overwhelmed. What should I do? Knowing all the hard work that I've put.

Choice 1 : Give up the business, and work.

Choice 2 : Put all of my efforts in the business.

Becoming a Fortnite E-sport player.

I was very good at Fortnite, so I got to the world cup. I trained hard for this competition. Unfortunately, I lost in the final round, I was very close to winning, but I didn't. I earned 100k, I was very happy! I used it for a new house, and to build a new family with my wife. After 2 years, Fortnite got less and less popular. That impacted a lot of my income, and my Youtube views dropped a lot. I finally had to apply to a dead-end job, to pay my debts. It is a really hard moment for me.

Choice 1 : Restart!

Continue the hard work.

I continued my hard work! I finished my master's computer engineering degree. I was 25 years old. I have now turned 35, and I am proud of all the work that I've put. I have a family, I work for apple, and maybe one day I will work for one of Elon Musk's companies. Patience, discipline, and hard/smart work is the key to achieving what your purposes.

Choice 1 : End.

Take a sabbatical.

What a bad choice. I got stuck on a loop of procrastination. Now, I live with my mom, and I regret my decision. I need to come back...

Choice 1 : Restart!

Apply to McGill.

I got accepted! That is because of my hard work, and time management. I also read really interesting books in the past that helped me for having the mindset that I wanted like Deep Work by Cal Newport, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and 12 Rules Of Life by Jordan Peterson. After I finished my studies in psychology, I wrote my first book. Later than, I started to make press conferences, and I got popular. I was am now a teacher in psychology at McGill University, an author, and also a public figure. I was single for many years until I found a woman when I was 32 years old. We got kids, and that's the final of the story!

Choice 1 : The end.

Apply to University Laval.

I got accepted! I was studying Psychology for 5 years, and now I've turned 30. Now I am a full-time psychologist, I am passing all my time on this. I love this job because I can help people to live better lives and that always been my dream!

Choice 1 : The end.

Live with my mom, and study hard.

That is the best decision I've made! I don't have rents to pay, and it helps me a lot. I also stopped working, to stay focus on studying. I have an offer to go to the United States to study for Havard. Should I go or not? Knowing that it has chances to break my relationship of 3 years with my girlfriend.

Choice 1 : Go to Harvard.

Choice 2 : Staying with my Girlfriend.

Staying with my girlfriend, working and studying at the same time.

It was a really rough time for me. I worked like 60 hours in total in the week, combining my work and my studies. It was a lot. After 2 years, my girlfriend cheated on me. I let her a chance, but the relationship was very toxic, so I decided to finish it. I was very sad at that moment, so I decided to drop out of school, and spend my time working on a dead-end job.

Choice 1 : Restart!

Spending my time studying.

What a great choice! I got a degree in Software Engineering and after I got a degree in Artificial Intelligence. I spent most of my time studying, and I always used time management like I used to do when I was at Montmorency College. Sometimes, I was spending 8 to 10 hours a day, just studying. It was worth the time because now I master all of the computer science languages. It wasn't that hard, because I created a habit, so it was automatic. Now, I have a big choice to make. Should I start a business or work?

Choice 1 : Start a business!

Choice 2 : Work for a company!

Take a sabbatical, and put all of my efforts into a new business.

Unfortunately, it didn't go well. My friend got sick, the business didn't work the way I wanted it. But, I found the love of my life at a park! I am happy about that, but I still have to find a way to take control of my life! I started to work in Computer Science. I did my first internship, it was great. I obviously wanted to go further in my studies, but it is what it is. My wife and I got kids, and we lived a great life! We got a house, in Montreal. I will show my kids the importance of work because I know that they can do what they want if they want it.

Choice 1 : Restart!

Start a business!

It's 2028, I am 25 years old, and because of my really hard work, I finished my degree in Software Engineer, specialized in Artificial Intelligence! I chose to start a business with my friend right after my studies. At first, it was good me and my friend started a Machine Learning company. The problem was that I didn't have a lot of experience so it got really complicated. I chose to stop the business 3 years after because it was unsuccessful. Indeed, I didn't have a good preparation to create a business.

Choice 1 : Restart!

Work for a company!

It's 2028, I decided to work as a software engineer, for a company! It was a really great experience, I started with Uber Eats. After 2 years of experience, I applied for Google, and they accepted me. I was paid really well, and it was very nice. The only problem was my social life, but I could spend 1 to 2 hours per week spending time with friends because of my time management. I am happy at the moment for the work that I've put, and the sacrifices that I've made. I didn't have a family, but it will come one day I hope so!

Choice 1 : Finish.

Put all of my efforts in the business.

What an experience! I gave my soul to this business with my partners and friends. We finally finished it! We had very good feedback, it was a successful company. 1 year after the company was published, I found a girl online, and she became my wife. We got a family, and we lived in a beautiful big house!

Choice 1 : Final!

Give up the business, and work.

I give up my business, and now I am working full time for feeding my new family. For a better life, should I return to University, and study Software Engineering or staying in computer science, and working 50 hours a week?

Choice 1 : Go to university.

Choice 2 : Working 50 hours a week in Computer Science.

Go to university.

I returned studying! I found some new friends. One introduced me to books, he gave me several of them. He told me it was self-improvement books, and it is very interesting.

Choice 1 : Yes!

Working 50 hours a week in Computer Science.

I stayed in my job. It was difficult at times, but I liked my job, so it helped me a lot. I am now 40 years old. I have 2 sons, and one girl. I work a lot to give them everything they need. I feel happy to have a beautiful family, a stable job, and a big house, because of my hard work.

Choice 1 : The end.

Read the books.

Wow! Those books were incredible. I learned how to focus on my work more effectively, time management, new interesting philosophy books. It helped my mental health, my grades, and my social life also because my friend also gave me a book on that topic.

Choice 1 : Study.

Choice 2 : Drop out of school, and work.

IGNORE.

Study.

I got my master's degree in software engineer. Because of my good work, I can work with good company's, like Google, Apple, and "etc...". I have a wife and one kid! I am happy to have chosen to study.

Choice 1 : The end.

Drop out of school, and work.

I regret it. Because, I don't like to give up, but I don't know what happened, maybe I was extremely exhausted, or I am too old to study. The positive is that I have a family. One boy and 2 girls! I am very happy to have them. I like my job because I used to like it since I was very young, so it's like a passion.

Choice 1 : The end.

Go to Harvard.

Let's start with the positive. I have my degree in psychology, and I can be a teacher in the best Universities in the future. But, I break up with my girlfriend. Sometimes in life, you have to make sacrifices, and that's what I did. I am happy with my choice because I am in a domain that I like.

Choice 1 : The end.

Staying in Canada, with my Girlfriend.

I am studying at University Laval. I chose to stay and live with her. The problem is that after 2 years we broke up. That hurt me because I chose to stay for her, and... she cheated on me. I maybe should've gone to Havard.

Choice 1 : Restart!
