Too many things want to do, but what you can do is too little
Because of attending an event, I was able to chat with a college friend.
He told me that his biggest problem is not clear about what he wants, especially what job he is looking for after graduation.
I thought he wanted me to talk about the occupational environment, basic treatment, general development route, etc.
But he was better informed than I was, and he gave me the information about various occupations, he said, he has been researching for the past few months.
I don’t understand, he did so much research, how can he not know what he wants to choose.
He admits he doesn’t know too, always feel that any job is OK, but no matter what he chooses, feels like something missing.
We looked at each other in different directions for a while and sometimes heard his heavy sigh.
Suddenly I casually sigh: You don't seem to know what you want, you want everything, can’t give up on everything good.

This common words instead poked the point, he repeatedly echoed: “Indeed, it’s true when I think about it. For example, I want to be a civil servant, because I will have more time for myself, but also feel that the salary is too little. I also want to work for a small company, so that the pressure will be lesser, but it is too embarrassing to say out."
After that, he summed up his words: “ I just want a job that is higher position and better pay, do not have to do too much, and able to learn a lot of things.
I can’t give any comment after hearing this, after a few seconds of silence, he started to laugh at his desire.
In fact, the world's troubles can be said cumbersome and simple: either does too little, or too much greed.
The combination of the two, the greatest suffering, apply a famous saying is:
Your time, energy, ability, resources, and will quality are limited, but your desires are limitless.You always want to use a limited cost of investment into the infinite desire, that’s why you are worrying.
In fact, everyone knows about this, which is: You want everything good happens to you, which is impossible.
But this mistake, basically everyone will make, why?
Because our nature is to try to take advantage of all the cheap, if we can’t take advantage of the cheap, we will feel deprived.

Greed disguised as a choice confused disorder will bring a terrible consequence: It will make thinks that you always mistakenly think that you are rational, you are weighing the pros and cons of the careful analysis of something, and constantly strengthen the need for your entanglements. The result of your entanglement in the end, even if the choice of diversification will be dragged into a single force, because, there is no time.
The most beautiful lie in the world is: there is always a way to meet all your expectations.
The idea of a serious violation of common sense still remains in the mind of the human being because it is so beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is an illusion.
Rigid conditions are: only 24 hours a day, only 365 days a year, and the people of you and I, how can you get 365 blessings without repeating?
The common way for ordinary people to be happy is simply to give up some minor things, to get other important things, make use of the time and effort to make something important happen over and over again.
By contrast, what is "more important" to you?
It all depends on your personal values and outlook on life.
Believe it or not, although it seems like everything has pros and cons, but in your mind, there is still a hierarchical sequence.
Your genes, your growth environment, your life's fate, your innate character, will be the standard of your sequence of values.
Some people think that to live is to live as the elite, some people also firmly believe that: nothing bad about being ordinary.
Some people feel that they don’t have to care about the parents; some people feel that if the parent happy, they will be happy too.
There are too many similar differences, but most of them have nothing to do with right or wrong.

Everyone will end up in one of these paths and then have fantasies or nostalgia for the possibility of another path.
This is normal, just don’t have to sentimental too much because even set foot on this one, make a road scenery may not be from your horizon, as long as you bend your head, steadfast to walk down, the road is still possible to connect.
Life is short, a few decades in the blink of an eye, the life of the cloth is very thick, need to sharpen ourselves so that we can pierce through.
The wisest way to live is to concentrate on time and energy and do the things that are most important to you.
If you are in high school, just study hard and strive for a good university, so the platform is wide, the future is more possibility;
If you have just entered the workplace, if you really need money, then make money to have a sense of security, otherwise please focus on the ability to increase and improve self-worth, the market will eventually pay you back.
If you really don't know what's most important to you, think about what you want to be like after five years.
Then look at yourself from the future and ask: What is the most important thing I should do this year for the goal of 5 years from now?
For this year's goal, what's the most important thing I should do this month?
By pushing it to the present moment, you will find that there is nothing more to be lost.
This is what we say: the simpler the happier.
Because when you set too many false goals, and not clear, it is actually greedy in the mischief, you always feel that they are important and real.
And when you do the only thing, focus on the strength to choose a path to conquer, you will do less, but do better, reap the results of the practical, and on this small and beautiful road, meet many other people on the road.

I know people in similiar positions as your friend. They have expectation for a job, so they look for the perfect job. This often prevents them from accepting one, because it doesn't seem perfect. In this type of situation one just needs to take action. Because or expectation seldom match up with reality.

I have the same problem when I just graduated. You were right, the best solution to this is, just needs to take action.
