Everyone has their own ideals and ambitions, dreams they want to make a reality, a person they've been after for years...etc.
So basically what I'm asking is did any of you accomplished it yet? or is in the process of doing so? or better yet have you just given up for various reasons?
Myself I wanted to take up law and become a public attorney and win the masses(fourth step in politics)to cement my ascent into the government, sadly I kept getting sidetracked by computers too much, I didn't get anywhere so I just took up Computer Eng and Tech Support.
As for the girl I was dogging since 7th grade:) we did get together problem is I caught her and another guy banging in my apartment on my bed.
i have always had dreams of something grand, but unlike others i never really thought as it being possible. I have always been down to earth when it came to such matters. I can tell between reality and fantasy.
I do however currently want to be a writer, but my skills need polishing, but sadly i do not attend college and i dropped out of high school for various reasons (like being sick all the time to many other things) but soon i will be going to get my GED and hopefully get on with my tiresome existence
I used to want to be a chp officer, a chef, and partially the president but sadly i got too fat, too lazy, and not enough interest in politics after high school to pursue any of them so i settled for psych and my cooking is meh XD.
I gave up on a lot of things and im now living with no goals or dreams, i dont see much in my future,so now im just doing things just to please people. (--,)
knowing that it's hard .. but i really want to change my country's label as plagiarism with a good original animation and make my parent proud as well ..
still in college and i don't want to end my effort just here ...
i train to draw by-hand .. editing photos .. troubleshooting PC .. all i need to make my dream come true by myself ...
I have known I wanted to work with computers ever since I got my first Amiga 1200 many years ago.
Up until last year that meant doing my master in Computer Science and getting a (hopefully) high paying job, but my thesis supervisors convinced me to pursue a PhD in stead, so now I will do a PhD and I have no idea what I want to use it for or if I want to be a researcher or still get a high paying job after I am done.
I just set whatever goal is needed to be done and keep going to reach that goal no matter what.
if someone does not like what I do, thats their problem.
I am working full time so I can earn enough money to go backpacking, some say its dumb, but I just tell them, this will be the last hard thing I do before I go on to being an adult and having to spend my money on a house etc. etc.
I'm currently studying pharmacy, and I eventually want to move into pharmaceutical sciences, drug research and the such in my postgraduate studies.
Aiming to develop some drugs like curing cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS. Seems like way too big of a dream even to me; but the bigger the dream the better!. ^_^
I always dreamed of flying an airplane (Civilian or military) but I can't do that because of my damned eyes.
But I do still have a love on all those flying metals, prolly I'll try going to the aviation industry. And how far? I dunno. Still getting my degree, and I think I'll try to get a job in the industry (manufacturing or carriers).
I've always wanted to create my own manga or a doujin at best -- not that I can't do it right now though.
Call me realistic, but I deemed it practical to pursue a lucrative career rather than waste my life on drawing page by page by page -- heck, I also wanted to be a psychologist but I can't minor in it in our school, demmit.
I hate reality, but that won't stop me from drawing, right? It won't stop me from learning a few more lessons from psych as well.
I just want to finish my studies and become a lawyer and NBI(C.S.I) at the same time. Live a simple life and marry cute Japanese girl who i can pound forever. Die before my wife so that i don't need to suffer being a single father.
Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted to go into space (blame Gundam Wing), so right now I'm going to an engineering school to become an astronaut and maybe a pilot.
A lot of other engineers tell me that it's unrealistic, and that I, like many young engineers, have romantic ideas about accomplishing something great... like making a breakthrough discovery similar to Albert Einstein or Richard Feynman. But I'm not going to give up because I believe that I can live my dreams.
Besides, there are many things to suggest that space travel will become common within the next 50 years.
