...who would You be? I am sure every one of us has the talent of doing something better than others. Some like to knit, others like to cook, sing, dance or write. ,Sometimes it`s the lack of time, sometimes like of talent or just laziness that stops us from being excellent in what we do. What if You had abundance of time to work on your talent, to learn more and polish your skills to achieve that level of talent famous people achieve Who would You be? Perhaps singer, musician, writer , scientist? As for myself, in childhood I had dreams of becoming ballet-dancer, then violinist and later historian. But I didn`t become neither of them, maybe because I didn`t have opportunity or skills for that. Later I started realize that I ve got certain skills in writing and started writing stories in my native language. Quite many of them got published but didn`t bring me big fame or wide recognition. Though I didn`t quit writing, but nowadays it`s more like my hobby than full-time occupation. What about You? Have You become who You wanted to be? Please share Your dreams.

NO, I have not become what I wanted to be, I wanted to be an architect and interior designer and I did something completely different. It does not matter I am happy of my life.

@Julie555 I fully agree, you feel only disappointed when you are very young.

@LadyDuck That` s true. Due to young age and lack of experience, you feel miserable if You meet the wall on your way, which you cannot overcome.Age brings wisdom and understanding.

That's not that disappointing, if you found something in your life, which makes you happy anyway

i've ne'er 'd the desire to be famous. not much fer that sort'a thingy, i lack the competitive spirit. i thought i wished to be a lawyer whilst i 'twas growin'. 2 years 'nto studies fer that, i got myself'n apprenticeship fer the summer. great opportunity 'n i learnt that though i'd a drive to help folks, i disliked the twistin' 'f the law.

You are right! Lawyer is a great profession and quite rewarding also. But sometimes you need to defend those who don`t deserve to be defended.

I would have liked to have been a writer but I've had a good life anyway. I still write from time to time.

Most importantly to me, I am a child of God. Next important I'm a mom and wife! And thirdly, I am a photographer who captures memories that are affordable for every budget and I LOVE what I do!! =) I'm very blessed. I have always loved to sing, dance and write also but through my camera God has been blessing others!

How wise of you to mention your priorities of being mother and wife. Some of us,I would say many, very often put ourselves at the front, our dreams and selfish needs, forgetting about what is most important.Your comment is very precious, my friend!

I used to write for a travel site but it went down the pan so to speak. I enjoyed writing about all new things which would keep people interested in other places around the world. Sadly the site when down the pan so I tend not to write about it so formally

That's great, as well as very helpful for people who plan their journey by reading about places from a knowledgeable person, who has already been there. I guess there should be another website, where you can submit your articles...or you can simply start your own blog.

I wanted to be a heart surgeon or a teacher. My mother, and later my husband, talked me out of the former. I was extremely happy touching so many lives as a teacher.
