Ideas & Opinions What are your priorities in life???

If you are comfortable with mentioning your gender I would be happy as well...

Main reason I am curious about this is how my professor said that love is the priority for girls (and women) and success and business is men's priority. I couldn't have been more offended because based on what he said I'm not a girl then lol.

Anyways what you could choose between: Love, relationship with family and friends, academic success, business and money, health etc etc...

Your professor is wrong lol. We do whatever makes us happy, cant be pinpointing anyhow. For now my priority is school and religion, if I were to take break from that, kitty colours 🥰

Working to help the community is mine and I'm a woman. Although, some stability with a partner would be nice. I think I need that balance.

I'm a girl ....ok woman technically I'm 28 lol but I hate saying "woman" cause I feel like it makes me sound like I'm 30 years older than I am um but anyway my priorities in life are more emotions/feelings rather than specific material things or achievements. as in my priority is just to be as happy as possible and be at peace with everything but I don't have a specific idea in mind as to what could make me feel that way, I'm open-minded to anything creating those feelings. But yeah I would say love is more important to me than being successful financially, although if I could be successful with things I'm passionate about aka photography I would love that and that's important to me. I haven't really thought about it much tbh, I just focus on the feelings I want in life rather than what the source of them would be

My priority in life is to make sure that my daughter has everything she NEEDS (not wants) in life. My life is a secondary thought, to me now anyway.

wow i am the opposite

it makes it sound like I have no life outside of that, I do! But I'm not hugely ambitious about career goals or whatever nowadays. I'm just chill.

same. kitty just likes to play.🥰

it's cool that people have a strong work ethic and stuff but I've never really understood people who are so focused on upping their career.... idk it just seems so trivial to me even though it's important in terms of earning money I just idk I don't get it 2 I'm just like cool.... you're getting older though... time's ticking..... and you're not having fun you're just focusing on numbers and spending so much time doing that what about the bigger things in life hmm

Some people really really enjoy it, I worked pretty hard to get a supervisor job at my place but after a few months, I realised, the higher you go, the more bollocks you've got to deal with.

yeah I find it hard to believe people enjoy it lol but then that's just cause I can't relate. yeah people I know have said the same, they like earning more money but don't like the stress that comes with it

Wow I can't relate more to the thing you said about the word "woman" lol. I wanna stay a girl forever. Tbh I think a woman is one who is stable financially and pays her bills and has a husband and children so I'm far from that.

Yeah, I mean I get why people do it, though I find power can go to people's head though too 2 I don't think it's worse the hassle of the extra financial gain, really.

yeah exactly! people always say I'm silly for thinking that and that I'm too old to be referring to myself as a girl but woman just sounds too old to me.. and I look younger than I am too so it just doesn't feel right to call myself a woman :/ I'm going to keep calling myself a girl

yeah I agree. I'd rather have my sanity lol

I'm not too sure about the gender definition to be honest but as an older woman (57) one of my priorities in the past as a museum professional was to work at a variety of museums/historic sites not so much for the money (which is pitiful in reality) but more preserving and sharing the stories that the artifacts and sites embody as a window on the past but also lessons for the current/future generations. This single focused dedication resulted in a not so healthy work life balance so now with a second unrelated career/field am trying to find that elusive balance where family/friends are afforded the same amount of my attention.

I was thinking about antiques earlier, and described them in much the same way, funnily enough. I love history.

Yes I of course whole heartidly agree...but am a bit biased...lol...

I'm a guy and I prioritize love over academic and financial success. To me, without love everything else just feels hollow.

I am a male, 56, I pick success at work and financial but mainly because I have never felt much emotion let alone love, and have never had anybody tell me that they love me. For me I knew I would fail at the personal side so I probably did overemphasize the professional and financial side of my life. I never have fit in and never will. I do not count my mom when she was alive because I knew she felt it because she was mom and I never hesitated to tell her because she was mom and I knew that it meant for her and there were other family that fits the same bill with me. With a handful of exceptions that I can count on one hand with fingers remaining I have never really been welcomed into the group of society, but I also never cared to join so it is a two way street which I acknowledge, but it would have been nice to have been invited. I often wondered if they sensed that in me and possibly went from there? I do agree, though, your professor is wrong about most people living.
