Life Metaphor

As the character in the movie Forest Gump made a simile about life, here's a metaphor that I came up with about life. Life is a game of Call of Duty, you could choose to fool around and not stick to the objective, but of course would lead to a defeat, or a negative effect. In life, during your different stages, there are different objectives that you should be achieving. For example, as I am a student, my objective is to do good in school. This might change after a few years, after you get a job, you will not be in school anymore.  Therefore, your objective would not be to do good in school. By not following the objective, there would lead to negative consequences. By continuing the example used above, if I'm always fooling around in school and not handing in homework, I would not be getting a good grade. Therefore, not completing the objective by doing good in school. Of course, not doing good in school would definitely affect your future. This would lead to what collages you would be able to attend, and would also affect on your career possibilities in the later future.
