When I was a youngster I wanted to drive a train like my uncle Eddie

I changed my mind after riding on the train; it was hotter, dirtier and noisier than I had ever imagined. I needed a new plan!

Vision of success alternative 1: ‘Write your own obituary’

Writing your obituary can help you to think clearly about your past and what you want out of life.Write two obituaries for yourself: one if you had died yesterday and another if you were to die ten years from now.

Vision of success alternative 2: ‘Suddenly I’m Famous’If you feel uncomfortable writing your obituary, imagine that you’ve suddenly become famous and tomorrow you’ll be interviewed by a famous chat-show host. Make some notes about what you’d say about yourself. Now do the same for ten years from now.
