Throughout my life I've never had much direction. Which meant i never had any inspiring people such as celebrities and famous icons that might have shaped who i am.
But is that bad? Does everyone really need inspiration from famous people? Is it impossible to be good at something without it?
Photographers strive to be big names like Ansel Adams or Annie Lebowitz (see? i don't even know much)
Actors strive to make it to the big times like other bigger older actors.
Musicians, young entrepreneurs all have inspirations and most scientists will always envy Albert Einstein or another.
And they all become great people, they all set the bar so high that they work hard to achieve it.
Which then makes me think about myself. I have no business inspirations, i have no graphic art idols, and the only idol i have is Ansel Adams (but like my photographs will ever match his...). So does that make me destined for mediocrity?
Without a clear bar to set for, and me only striving for kind of greatness in the fog, will that create naivety and ultimately make me fail?
Not only for myself actually. I hear a lot of people just studying, studying, and studying, but their goal for the moment is good grades. But at the same time, they never mention about their future goals in life. They too seemed to be at my point in life, where everything is not clear and it seems like it'll never be clear (and they too, have no idols or inspirations).
What will happen to the people who don't have clear paths then?...

These pictures have no relation to my post, but because I was unable to take some today, I shall give you something to look at anyways.
"there are those people who go through their lives with such a singular focus. 'I WILL BE A DOCTOR. I WILL BE A DOCTOR.' those people are kind of like trains...they get to where they want to be faster than anyone else...but they are only able to go where their rails take them."
