As children most of us have some idea of what we want to be when we grow up. I wanted to be a Veterinarian and now have switched to Psychology. Few people actually stick to their childhood dreams. What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that still what you want to be or what you are now? What made you change your mind?

When I was a kid, I dream to be a sterwardess, but it didn't materialized as I'm fat and short, then I dream to be a dancer, what a weird dream,I guess I just follow what my friends told me to during that age. Only after at the 20's I begin to discover the wonder of being working at other people places, I mean other country, and wanted really badly, but I fail even at the early stage, and now I ended up working a totally different professionalism but yet I'm thankful as I have a good and stable job.

It's good that you're grateful for the job that you have. Maybe someday you'll be able to get a job that you'll really enjoy.

Of course, because there are always changes. In the process of growth, a child will know the trends from time to time, with all its advantages and disadvantages. A child also increasingly recognize the potential itself, about its strengths and weaknesses. Then, the adjustment process occurs.

Well even though you didn't end up as what you wanted to be as a kid it's good that you found something you love.
