"Where do you see yourself 10 years down the line ?" - first heard 7 years back in my MBA coaching class , as one of the most important questions during interviews .
And I listened to it with my jaw dropped , eyes wide open and with no facial expressions , because to me it sounded weird . I mean how can you predict what will happen in your life 10 years down the line , when you don't know what will happen the very next moment , isn't this what we have heard all the while
"Live every moment as it was your last.." , and so I believe..
This question got repeated many times in job interviews ( no i didn't make it to any MBA interviews , full blame on this question ) and in conversations with Friends . I wanted to know whether or not I was the only one who was not sure of her life.
And to be frank I haven't been quite convinced with any of the answers , neither could I even form the first line of this question ever...
The only line I have been able to formulate is
10 years down the line..
I see myself more fat and with more facial lines ( but isn't that obvious)
But that's it , I cant predict anything else in measurable quantities my stature , my bank balance .
in in measurable items happiness , health ...
Maybe I will never be able to answer this..
But ya I have a wish that
10 years down the line "I am more healthy , more happy, have more loved ones , who are also healthier and happy , have traveled the world and that I have memories I love to remember.."
