Lemons.
Sometimes things are going to seem gloomy. On the surface, that doesn't sound like a good time--and it probably isn't--but the good news it that it can inspire something great.

While it's important to have goals and aspirations, it is also important to think realistically every so often.
A study out of Princeton revealed college students were stressed and often suffering from depression more than ever as they faced graduation. In question was the subject of the "actual" versus "ideal" self.

Basically, the ideal self is "a wish". There is a way, however, for the actual self to become the ideal self. The actual self would have to take serious risks and jump to the ideal self, which could cause more and more anxiety. Then again, would it be worse not to jump? Don't Work Stressed.
