Set high goals - and if you reach them - set higher ones.
And if you don't find that fulfilling - figure out what does make you happy and do that instead.
But I would suggest it's all not nearly as easy as it may appear to be when you're in school. Just when you think things are going a long tickety boo - life has a way of jumping up and giving you a stiff crosscheck right to the mush.

Yup, definately Jiri. I spent a bit of time last week talking to different types of people I graduated with to get different viewpoints, and there are a few things I am looking for in life. I've always been somewhat of a classic goal-oriented person, although I would really like to change that and focus more on personal relationships - namely, friends and find a great girl to marry. I really don't want to ever have to be in the situation where I have to sacrifice things like friends/family for my career. This will be a particularly difficult challenge given the personality type I have and the hours expected to work in the field I'm going to be in.
Anyways, one of the things I talked about with one of my friends is the seperation between being a 'A' quality person, and a 'B', 'C', 'D' and so on. At this stage, I don't think I am a 'A' quality person and there are somethings to work on, so for sure I don't think I'm at the end of the line on being the best. And, I do fully plan on working towards being a 'A' quality person, where a 'A' type person is someone who is intelligent, capable, well-rounded, able to see things both small and big, and has the self-initiative. A type of person quality top companies like a Google will hire.
Moreso, there are things outside of my life I am looking or would like to work on. Sports, a family, materialistic goals...
But, in the short term... graduating still scares the hell out of me. Despite knowing that there are goals out I have, I guess they arn't so much definite or things I really see as something I "work towards" whereas in school, there is a specific project or exam you work towards.
Ok I'm just rambling... (obviously this is something I spent A LOT of time thinking about)
