When you are young All you want becomes much simpler than it seems. Build your own assets Reach the moon . .
. . .
. have the dream job . .
. travel around the world. The funny thing is that you grow, and most of these desires remain with you for a long time Some will continue only as dreams, others may even come true.
But for this you will require to answer a small question: What do you want to be when you grow up? an Astronaut? a Doctor?
a Firefighter? Knowing this answer does not mean that it will be the end of your quest, but the starting point for many others. It is through this answer that your future begins to be drawn out.
It is what transforms the crazy plan into something feasible. With me it was no different! Just like you, I wanted the improbable, the surprising, the innovative.
Do what no one else would be able to do. Go so far that no one else could reach me. Be the discoverer of a new era.
. . or perhaps a new time.
Actually, what I really wanted. . .
was to fulfill my desires. And just like a child's game, conquer all that seemed unlikely. The dream job.
The perfect family. Why not ? Space travel!
I never became an astronaut I was not a firefighter . . .
much less a doctor But I experienced the new I started from scratch I did everything! And all in a different way I served in the Aeronautics I sold newspapers, vegetables and ice lollies I worked as a builder I was production operator a painter, and even an artisan My first great asset wasn't a castle I sold a lot of manure and metal to acquire it Perhaps all of these activities did not allow me to see further at that time But certainly allowed me to have enough experience to grow with humility, to mature, take on responsibilities, experience my capacity of self development in order to live and to be ahead of the times. And you ?
What have you been dreaming? What are your plans to get there? Standing still will not result in anything innovative.
Do not regret your luck. Do not be ashamed of what you do. Work is what transforms you.
Can I give you an advise? DREAM ! Try it !
Do something new. Seek to fulfill your dreams everyday. Choose to do what you like, not only what brings you money - It will come naturally with your effort.
Be true to your values. Do it with love and be the best at what you do. Remember, you are the only person responsible for your destiny.
Put yourself always in first place. Love your neighbor in the same way as you love yourself. We are all capable of being and doing, do not let people do it for you!
Make mistakes. And then make them again! And through error, gain experience.
Do not be so hard on yourself. And when it all seems difficult, go back to being a child again without fear in answering that simple question - What do you want to be when you grow up?
