If you don’t take your own dreams seriously, who will?
I was reading an article “WHY YOU SHOULD QUIT YOUR JOB AND TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD”. A very bold title that appeared on my twitter’s timeline and instantly grab my attention. A more general question will be: “What is your greatest dream of all?”
I would like to take a quote from a movie that I just watched yesterday. (yes, I was watching Eclipse),
“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were thing like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how ’bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy ’cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
- Eclipse
Well, it’s more a reminder to myself rather than sharing it with the world. What do I want to do? What do I want to be?
