Childhood Ambitions !!!!

This is a rather out of context topic to write on by an amateur blogger specialising in misery and stupid financial advices. Why write on childhood ambitions, is it because i don't have one now or is it because the earlier one's sounds more realistic. This will be a topic many (if google analytics is to be trusted) of you will be able to relate to and empathize on, that early admiration for a wayward skill or sparkling eyes for an exotic profession.

We have changed so much from our bubbling schooldays and grown into these calculated, cynical, sarcastic, hopeless adults specialising in unnecessary skills and useless habits. Some ambitions are funny, some are spiritual, some were creative and still some made it to their goals.

The innocence of childhood made everything look possible and simple, easy to reach, achievable. Everything was possible from world peace to time travel. Like my favourite author and motivational speaker Robin Sharma said " What will the child that once you were think about the adult you have now become ?" the words look simple enough but will keep you pondering on.

If you take a popularity contest i think pilot would top the rank, like many of you mine was too to have that stylish pilots uniform, walking away with pretty stewardess into those cockpits with a zillion controls. But when i grew up the career planner in me found the sector less career growth oriented and the glamour was short lived(actually i was bad in science and my eye sight is not good enough to ride a bicycle heheh). I had a cousin who wanted to be a bullock cart driver because he found the circulating wheels incredible added to the freedom of travelling anywhere. That looks like a realistic career now looking at the investment and availability.

A friend wanted to be a KSRTC (Kerala State Road Transport Company) driver commanding huge buses through uncharted routes. He found the swaying of the bus an art needed to be practiced and made a talent. Now looking at the unquestioned dominance on the road and inpropotional responsibility the career looks lucrative enough to start fresh.

Movies have played a big role in shaping ambitions, like Mr. India would have inspired many of you to be that MAD scientist inventing incredible gizmo's bringing down evil villains. In our land we have had these mind blowing dialogue bashing cops and bureaucrats bringing ministers and villains down to their knees with jaw breaking vocabulary. We have all wanted to be that police commissioner or that District collector threatening chief minsters and humiliating central ministers (looked so real and possible hehehe).

Some of you out there would have had more different and creative ambition's in childhood which would make my plans dwarf like. But our only option to know these are if you share them, so do put in your views and ideas.
