Dream.... Oh little dreams of mine

Hey guys,
It seems it' s been more than a year since I have last visited, and much less, write anything in this blog...
Always have a lot of things to say, opinions to express, but never enough motivation to write it down.....
Nevertheless, I back now! Heeee = )
Made a pact to update the blog at least once a week....
And this week's theme, is DREAM.....
So what's in a dream?? Jeng jeng jeng..... Hihihihihi =p

Dream, according to Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary is;
One- a series of events and images that happen in your mind when you are sleeping
Two- something that you want to happen very much but that is not very likely
Three- to imagine something that you would like to happen
However, in today's concept, when talking about dreams, it can also represent our ambitions, and the things we wanna do in our lives....
Which is what I'm gonna talk about today....

Being a final year student, who is about to start her last semester, where I'm gonna go next, and what am I gonna do, what I want to accomplish in my life, are some really important questions.....
Some, hasn't even been able to figure out the answers to all of this, but fortunately for me, my whole life has been about me, moving towards my dreams, establishing what I want in my life and figuring out how do i get there....
I guess I am quite fast- paced in that sense....

When I was a five year old, I always dreamed of becoming a doctor....
Little girls would be playing barbie and I was begging my mom everyday for a doctor's kit....
As I grew up, the dream became more detailed.....
I wanted to become a surgeon (either a cardiologist, obstetrician or a neurosurgeon), and I would also in addition to being a surgeon, has a Degree in Psychology. The idea was to be a surgeon and save a lot of money, and when I'm 35, I'll be opening my own private practice as a psychologist....
Then, at the age of 45, I'll sell the practice, retire, and would be a linguist and a freelance book translator, and I will be doing my Bachelor in Literature, and when I graduate, I wanna write lots and lots of novels... Hahahahha a pretty big and elaborate dream for a 12 year old, but then again, I have never been ordinary.....

That was the dream that I hold till I was 17, and I let it go because my result wasn't enough for meds school.... And while growing up, i discovered my passion in the F&B line, and also spa and salons.... So when I was applying, I wanted to take Hotel Management, or Cosmetics and Hair and Beauty Care, so that I can 1 day open up my own hotel or salon cum spa.....
My parents though had a different idea, so long story short, I was sent to Perlis to study Accountancy, where I later developed a dream of working in a Big 4 and building network, and saving up capital, so that at the age of 30, I'll be able to open up my of Chartered Accountant Firm.....
So I followed the path, and did everything right, and I, as well as any other person in my life can see that I'm beginning to reach that dream, that it wasn't so farfetched, that it is within my grasp....
And when the time came for my internship in my later years, I got accepted to PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the Big 4... I was jumping up and down in excitement and at the same time having sleepless nights due to nightmares caused my own fears of my incapability of living up to their expectations....
It was really big for me, as that internship spot earns me 70% possibility of being accepted as an employee when I graduate later...
So I went, and lived apart of my dream, for 6 months... where I have learnt a lot, not only in my area of expertise, but also in terms of career...
I get to meet a lot successful people, and the seniors and bosses who literally educated me on career opportunities and life path...
So then my dream was again altered, a bit... I now no longer wanna have my own firm.
My dream, now, is to work in PwC when I graduate, work my butt off to become Manager, and after that resign and apply for a job in Oil & Gas company.....

All in all though, in my whole 23 years, I have learned a lot about dreams...
Dreams can change, we adapt our dreams to our present life, our dreams develop in line with our own progress....
My mom always told me to never give up on your dreams, always believe in yourself, in your capabilities, because you are extraordinary and exquisite... You are capable of making a difference, capable of changing the world, if you put your mind to it... Never give up, there is always a way...
My mom is a very wise woman, I trust her, and I always believe evrything she says...
And being the wise woman she is, she made me a wise person, I am today the strong-willed and opinionated person, because of her... I am somebody, because of her...
I believe that whatever our dreams, as a person, we are always capable of achieving whatever it is that we want..... Anything, as long as we are willing to sacrifice for it, and are willing to work our way, fighting against the world for it.... Sadistic, but true...
I have always been the glass half full person, as opposed to the glass half empty kinda person.....
My mom taught me to always be positive, cause when you are positive, positive things are gonna happen to you...
The happiest person is not the one who get all the best things in life, but rather, who makes best of what he has in life...
So for me, whatever life throws in my face, whatever setbacks life give me, I always bounce back and get back my feet on the ground, all ready,walking proud and tall, heading towards my dream....
So folks, don't ever be afraid to dream, cause the moment when you stop dreaming, is the moment when you will become a nobody... Dreams make us somebody, they give us purpose, and they keep us in line, keep us straight, keep us tall.....
People who don't dream, are the people who doesn't have purpose in life, and without purpose, why would we wanna live at all? What would our life be worth then?
So always dream big, but in the same time, don't forget to be realistic..... Never be afraid to strive for your ambition, even when people are laughing at you, take it as a challenge, ignore what people say...
But also remember guys, figuring out what you wanna do in life, and how to get there, is only half of the equation....
The other half, is figuring out who to share your success with....
Just a food for thought.....
All the best of luck to you guys, I hope you will all be able to achieve your dreams....
Till next week ;-)
