The life conundrum - what life choices should you make?

I was thinking today that there are generally two types of people; those who are constantly learning new skills based on the direction they choose to take at a particular time and those who will not consider a new direction but therefore have the opportunity to develop experience and skill in a single area.

The next question to myself was what was I? The second was what should I be? It's a tough one to answer because some of us stick with a few skills whilst others want to continually learn new ones. The bottom line though is that whatever choice you make it will influence your life path. But then I thought why can't I have my cake and eat it too. Why can't I learn new skills and develop them whilst learning even more new skills? Answer to that is I can but I'll need a lot of one thing. That thing is TIME. Unfortunately along with death and taxes (for the poor and middle class at least) the clock ticking down on our existence is a foregone conclusion. Until 2050 when the cure to eternal life is discovered of course.

What I figured is that I could be both and I could find the time. However it would require sacrifice because there would be a lot of things I would have to give up. And there you have it, the conundrum of life - you can have anything you want but not everything you want. You have to make a choice and live with it. You can retrace your steps but of course the clock is always ticking. Therefore be a man (or person) with a plan and stick to it with no regrets.
