When I was a kid I wanted to become a pets doctor, a teacher, a shopkeeper (because they were selling lollies, lol). They were childish dreams because of no experiences.
After I got older I wanted to become a professional tennis player but my dream crashed after I broke my both hands.
Now I want to be an interior designer! I am working in marketing area but my dream is designing, painting, furnitures, gardening. Is too late to start my dream now? When I am already 26?

It is never too late to give up on a dream! Sometimes those dreams are what keep us going. I dreamed of being a writer when I was younger. Instead, I spent 25 years working in a factory, helping support four kids, and wrote very little. After I felt the spirit move me several years ago, I wrote some Christian poetry and started a blog. Three years ago, the factory shut down so I decided to work from home and started a business buying abandoned self-storage units and selling the contents. That, and a friend, lead to an interest in antiques and collectibles. Two years ago I began free-lance writing and have sold over 200 articles online. I think sometimes writers have to live a while first so they have something to write about. I'm not making a huge amount of money (yet) but I love what I do and am blessed with a loving husband who supports me. So, no, 26 is not too late, for heaven's sake! I will be 50 years old this summer. Don't you wait that long to do what you really love!!!!
