Graduation...now what?

Graduation from the high school is a major milestone but... what's next? What does our future hold?

Maybe, we can think that finish this stage, finish Batxillerat, is a major goal but I think that it's more simply than this, I think that is another step toward other future achievements, an important step, but only another. Anyway, is something that may scare us because it’s the day you leave the "predictable routine" of the "undergraduate life and the day you need to seriously consider a terrifying question: what's next? Or in my case: career A or career B?

I have seen the TED videos talking about how to succeed and I have to say that I agree with what Angela Lee Duckworth say, that If there is no motivation to doing anything, nobody will want to make their goals important in their life. Grit is passion and persistence that can help you to accomplish your goals, nobody will get even close to accomplishing anything without "grit". I honestly think students of every kind should have grit for themselves because your talent, your marks,...would not be anything without grit, without motivation: you can be the smartest person in the world, but that doesn't mean you would reach all your goals because you need to be motivated in order to do something.In fact. I think something very similar to Duckworth's: you don't have to make your failures an unnecessary obstacle in your path or see it like a failure or a drop, you have to transform them into a step that will take you higher towards your goal. Those who are most motivated can turn their mistakes into leaps forward, into greater lessons learned. 

Maybe, the problem is that nowadays, people think that being successful is about having a lot of money or being famous, but it isn't: be successful it's about chasing your objectives and dreams and being happy with what you do and more important, being happy with yourself. Grit helps a lot by achieving your goals, but I think that you only would be successful if you know what you want in life.
