When you were a kid, you had grand ambitions, were you able to achieve them now?

when was a kid, i do dream to become a whale, but as i grew older i found out that it's unachievable, lol.. so i've had my other ambitions, and i think i'm achieving it right now, little by little, thank God.. and oh, i do regret that i've dreamed of becoming a whale, lol!

Hey, They are a dreams as a kid and lets work for our dreams as grown ups

I'll answer this question with a firm... "kind of..." ;~D Like most kids, I had a lot of dreams and ambitions. I wanted to be a stuntman, instead I was a paratrooper. Not exactly the same thing, but then again, no one can say it isn't a reasonable facsimile. ;~D Another ambition I had was to run my own business. While I've never actually ran a brick and mortar store, I do have an online shop and teach guitar. The IRS taxes me as a proprietor, so (again), not exactly what I had in mind as a kid, but not far from the mark either. The other major aspiration I had was to be able to help others. I'm a retired Army NCO. I've been a paramedic (with training in Search and Rescue) and wildland firefighter. I've been on disaster recovery teams in snow emergencies, floods and hurricanes. That one, I think I hit several times over.

I never dreamed of being rich or famous, but I think I always wanted to be known as a poet and a writer. I have had some of my poems published in magazines and small press anthologies, and now I am getting known for my informative writing on the internet. Most of all I wanted to be independent, adventurous and brave, and I think I am all of those now.

when i was a child even i had so many dreams like u just mentioned n i could achieve it a few n lost few n i dont even remember now what i sue to wish for. but as far as i remember iwanted to become n engineer or a doctor, i m now engineer n wanted to get married an engineer n it happened so , want to go abroad n also it happened n now i m in germany wanted a pretty good son for the first n it happened. these r the few things which happened i m mentioning about coz most of them which didnot happen i really forget or else compromise or else wait n try for it to happen. usually what i have noticed with me is, whatever i wish it happens but it needs some time n i need to have patience. i usually cant wait n have less patience but cant help it n have to just try n wait for it to happen.

i dream a lot when i was kid, i dream either to bceome a police woman to serve country or either beome doctor but nothing happens, i m just an accounts incharge...but still i have a dream to do social service, to help those people who dont have food to eat, clothes to wear, n shelter animals which are ignored by us ...... dear when we are kid, we dream a lot but time dont agree wid us......

I used to dream that I would grow up to direct hollywood movies... never wanted to be a star, just wanted to be behind the camera... I still sometimes wish I could do that (and I know there are a few directors out there that made it big with low budgets) but it's just not possible right now. I'll have to hit the lotto or something to be able to afford to make a movie... but hopefully my daughter will be able to fulfill her dreams ... that's more important to me than me fulfilling my own.
