Wasting my life? feel like a failure! advice please?

-i'm 26, male, English, don't have degree, but have 2 2 year diplomas.


-have work experience in sports centres, coaching/teaching children.


-am living in Taiwan, and have studied Chinese full time for 1yr 4mnths.





My plan is to study Chinese for another year and then do a degree in China (it would be in Chinese, not English) then graduate FINALLY when i am 32, is this too old, i really don't know what to do with my time and i'm scared i'm wasting it!


help. thank you for any advice you have.Wasting my life? feel like a failure! advice please?
What do you enjoy doing?To site the old saying... ';A man who loves what he does will never work a day in his life.'; You have work experience, was there somethings you've enjoyed more than others? I love kids, virtually all of my jobs have involved children to some degree.





Do you really want or need that chinese degree? Maybe you need to return to England? Degrees do not necessarily equal success. They may help, but it's not the be all-end all.





I believe you'll be fine. Think about this in the grade scheme of things. 5 Years from now where do you hope to be? How important will all this stress be to you? Hope I helped.Wasting my life? feel like a failure! advice please?
The best way to quit worrying about wasting your life is to do something useful with it while you are working towards your own goals. VOLUNTEER. Find a way to help other people without getting paid for it. Step outside of yourself to really find yourself.
i'm scared that i'm wasting time too and i'm only 16...but I think its normal to think that you are wasting your life. But dude, you are living in a foreign country, you have learned a different culture and experienced a different culture. Trust me thats enough to atleast be proud of yourself, there are people in Kansas and other parts of America who have never even left their town.
if you are doing your best then you will have to learn you can do no more than your best. and if you are pursuing your passion then it will always find its way to your completion. i think your resume looks very impressive.
