im sure as a kid... each and everyone of else had our dreams... some wanna be teachers.. some a cop.. a lawyer and so on.. how much of those dreams we had when we were kid is actually fulfilled? how close are we to it right now... things took a change as u mature... ur perception changes... and dats when u realise.. dreams will always be dreams...
As a kid, i had a few dreams.. initially.. i wanted to be a teacher.. later on a lawyer... subsequently... i wanted to be a fireman... call me indecisive.. coz dats what i am... However, being a fireman was the dream that i was really into during my childhood... i would picture myself rescuing ppl from burning buildings... the adrenaline from the heat was something that i would want to encounter when i grew up... being able to use the fire hoses and extinguishers... sliding down the pole... everything bout a fireman would get me excited back then...
But again, like i mentioned, as u mature.. perception changes... its like the horizons.. u wouldnt know what is beyond that horizons.. is the earth in a shape of a saucer??... where at the end of the horizons, you would just fall?? or is the earth round??... where u would continue ur journey not knowing where it would end... basically, u wouldnt know what are the chances waiting for you out there... would dreams remain a dream.. or would a dream become a reality...
As for me now, im working wit the police force.. not very close to wat i had in mind when i was a kid... but nevertheless, I still do get to feel the adrenaline that i wanted to experince since young when i attended to a case of a unit on fire sometime back.... just my luck that the pump ladders (fire engines) arent at scene yet... so i have got to pass through the extreme heat... the urgency to save lives from the unit kept the adrenaline goin... so I did become a firefighter after all.. although its only a day, i managed to live up to my childhood dreams.. so my dream became a reality!
so how far are u away from the dreams u had while u were a kid?? are u close to it or u had diverted urself into another journey? whatever it is.. remember the horizons... u wouldnt know what are the chances for you out there... you got to keep going and going till u find the answer u need in this life...
