[b]Friends, When we are young, we might have dream a lot what we want to become. But, later on we might have forget what we had dreamed and we settle down with some job. How many of you were succeeded in your dream. Let me start mine first, at young age, I wanted to become an entrepreneur, but now I am settled down with a lecturer post. [/b]

I too dreamt of being a doctor when I was young. Until such time I realized that I didn't couldn't stand the sight of blood for a long time. Then I strived to become an engineer, which I did. Until I realized that I could parlay my degree into a career that involved less responsibility. Currently I work in Quality, which I will continue on. Until I realize that it is time to retire.

I already accepted the fact that not all that we want in life happens. I for example had a dream too. But I didn't even imagine that I can live a life which is far from what I have studied. Anyway, I can say that I am still going to reach for my goal. I would do anything possible to reach it. Just be content on what you have for now and use it. Be thankful for what God has given you no matter how big or small it is.

From the time that I was a very young child, I always dreamed of being a pediatrician. However, when I was in college, that dream changed and I wanted to be a nurse so that I would also be able to be a mother. Now I'm simply a stay-at-home mother and I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade having this role in life for anything in the world. This is definitely the most fulfilling job that a woman could ever have.

Hi arunmails, I wish you a very happy new year. Yes, i have a dream to become a Chartered Accountant and i also have dream to have my own office self enterprising, but i didn't studied CA but studied M.com and now i settle as a home maker. But you know i am much happy to be like this helping my inlaws, my family, my husband and to my son etc., this is enough i feel but i am also doing some part time on computer jobs, and now i started giving tuition at home for kids. As a woman i can tell you there need a satisfaction what the work we do, may be our dreams are different but we may not because of the circumstances, money etc., but the thing is what we do in a perfect is the important. Yes you settled down with the lecturer post which is so respect job indeed. You are educating many students. Which gives more happy is in it. I am also like that, i feel this has god entrusted me so i am doing and i am happy, rather thinking and feeling sad that my dreams have not come true. Have a good day.

When I was a kid, my dream is to be a doctor. When I was in high school, I want to be a pharmacist. But now I'm in college and taking up AB in Multimedia Arts.
