what was your dream when you was young, and now.

January 2, 2007 8:06pm CST
this is quite interesting when i think about it of how dreams change when you age. when i was young, i dreamed of becoming a footballer, mind you i did come close to that dream if it was'nt for a severe injury, and now my dream is just to have abit of money to support the kids. it's weird though how dreams change. so what's your dreams then and now? and basically see how you change through the years. i think it's very interesting really.

I dream of being a DJ, actor in the theatre, writer, movie actor, magician, clown and business owner. I have done them all. And no I am not a politician.

I had a lot of dreams when i was young, I have a goal. I wanna be pilot, doctor and bussiness men, had more money so i can travellig to anywhere. BUt the most fantastic part of the same is inspite of having so many dreams none of them turned out to be true.May be because I was never focussed. but now i'm still had the goal. I wanna be a succesfully man

when i was still a kid, i dreamed of becoming a doctor someday. i envy doctors who wear stethoscopes around their necks and with those white wardrobes. so,i thought i wanted to become a doctor, too. but i wasn't able to be a doctor. my parents could not afford me to take up medicine. i am now a pharmacist. and i still wear that white wardrobe without the stethoscope. but well, i am happy atleast i get to deal with people in the society. it's good to be a pharmacist and i am happy to be one.

When i was young i dreamt of being a journalist. The sibjects I studied at school all focused on this and I even got some work experience in it. However when it came to it I realised I had no idea why I wanted to do it. I think it is drilled into us when we are young that we should have an idea of what we want to be when we grow up. How many four year olds are asked -'what do you want to be when you grow up?'.

you have always got to carry on in life. even though our dreams have not come true, we are still lucky, i know their are millions of people out their that would love to have the life i've got, two great kids, a roof over my head, clean water, heating, stuff like that, stuff you take for granted in everyday life.

well my dream my whole life was to become a professional tennis player. and this dream came true but i never made it to top 10 in the world, just top 300. Now my dream is for the business i started with my husband to get big and sucessful. I also plan to own a house in 2 yrs and maybe have 1 healthy kid by then
3 Jan 07
wow, i have got to say even getting to the top 300 is a big achievement in my opinion, you should be proud of. think about all those millions of people that play tennis, and you are in the top 300. i hope you succeed in your business with your husband. good luck

Yeah, dream is interesting. There must be many dreams everyone has. For me, an example, for the house. When I was very young, we had a house of hip tile. I dreamed to live in a flat house. Later, we rented a flat house with one floor. Then I dreamed our own house. We had one after sometime. But I have no my own room. Then I dreamed to have my own room and a two or three floor house. This came true after I married. I live in a three floor house now, and own one floor with my own living room and bedroom. As I said, I married. But my mother and father still live in a small house and have a hard life. Now my dream is earning more and more money, so that I can have my parents a better life. That's also why I come to Mylot.

it seems like we have alot of lucky people here on mylot. congratualtion in getting yourself a nice house, and i truly hope you do earn alot more money for your mum and dad. i would love my mum to be well off, but it seems like the only chance i'll get of that is the lottery.

Well, when I was much younger, my dream was to become a cartoonist, but thank God this dream changed with time and increase in sense because given my location (it won't work here), I would have made perhaps 50cents a year :)), joking... but i would definitely have been poor.

When I was young, I always dreamed to be a part of the nba. But that was hell of a dream and impossible to happen lol. But stil I always wanted to be a basketball player, a chef, and a businessman. I have given up of becoming a basketball player since my time was up already. I became a player but only in school and not the one that you can see on tv lol. My 2 dreams didn't change. I am still pursuing that dream right now. I am going to be a businessman soon and I'm planning to go to culinary school 4-5 years from now.
