There are very few

There are very few persons out there who go out and make their dreams come true, very few those who, nowadays, even have a dream. We never dreamt of becoming a regional sales manager, a cubicle monkey or a bank consultant. Usually we had much higher expectations in life as kids, but then as we grew up we learnt to compromise our dreams for comfort and a secure spot in society.

And life for those few who dare tends to be much harder, by being out of the box you become and alien to the rest of society, by having higher dreams than a secure employment you scare away couples, freak out family, and even start questioning your own goals. Wouldn't it be better to just have a nice little job?

I don't know why but when I got off the car this morning I stared walking and thinking about the sort of things my classmates used to dream about, all through high school and even early university, and lots of them had the coolest dreams and just talking about them gave them a sparkle in their eyes. Today most of them are just working, in some place they don't really like, under conditions they don't really like, with their dreams forgotten and the sparkle gone.

There are those few who dared, who made things happen, or at least are well on their ways. And they may not be having the time of their lives, they chose the hard way after all... But the sparkle is still there and the dream is slowly solidifying into a reality. Good for them.

I don't like it that we live in such a material society in which compromising your own dreams is not only common but expected, where money matters more than happiness. - sigh -

Anyway... Have a good day.

I'll spend most of it studying my Japanese... He he he... I have a test today and as the good student that I am, I left it all for the end.
