This film tells the story of Nick, a seemingly directionless student who learns a valuable lesson about success from his classmate, Don, and a mentor. Nick initially believes successful people are born with a special quality, but through interviews and observation, he discovers they achieve their goals through purpose, planning, and hard work. He realizes his own aimlessness will lead to a bleak future. Inspired, Nick begins to actively plan for his future, setting goals for his personal, vocational, and social life, and starts working towards them with newfound determination.
