At young age in school, all of us were asked by our Form Teacher to write our DREAMs when we grown up. At that time, many including myself would write the whole heart of what we want to become one day and most of what may relate to our cartoon series or admiring elders or successful personnel at that time.
For me, I could remember that I have written that I would become a successful scientist and this was definitely influenced by the sequel of Science fiction movies e.g Star Wars, Ultraman, Transformers. Well, as I looked back and considering my path now into wealth management...it is totally a different way though the nearest would be that I have my first degree in Molecular Microbiology.
Why such a different route ? Why would our Form Teacher ask us to put our DREAM in our young innocent brain ? I am sure many of us may have asked the same list of questions ?
Sincerely, I am grateful for this spark of action as it built my initial focus on DREAM setting. It spurs my interest then to always put this little dream to achieve.
However, our school syllabus then does not include the direct sharing and guidance or coaching on how to realise our DREAM or goal except indirect influence of clubbing activities.
You would agree that for most people including myself, the thinking of big DREAM only came much later when we are actually more involved in our societies. If we look at the successful entrepreneurs e.g Bill Gates, Warren Buffet...many more all started to pursue their dream at tender age...
If a separate subject was introduced then to teach DREAM/goal setting and achievement, can we expect a better of us today ?
Now,..if we have realised the importance of DREAMing...what is your DREAM to the future ? in 20 years time, when we are at the edge of RETIREMENT ?

Back in 1984, my love affair with computers started when I saw a documentary series called "Bits & Bytes" and lasted till today.
I've been pretty happy working in the IT line, but sometimes the corporate world really drags me down.
If I don't need the $$$, I would love to be a teacher in the next 20 years :)
My childhood dream is to become a doctor...when I was in Secondary School, my dream is to become an engineer...now both of my dreams doesn't come true...:(
"Dare to dream BIG", thats my friend, Stephen always tell me....it is true that we must dare to dream big as to push ourselves to achieve what we are aming for...but of course not everyone will reach their dream destiny. But then ones won't regret for what they have put in during the process of achieving their dream although at the end they might not have achieve their dream...
I think "The process is more important than the result"...do u agree with me? The process might take days or years before we achieve what we want but during the process we would encounter real life happening or thing that could possibly stop our dream like obstacles, people, etc or sometimes could push us forward like encouragement, helps etc......enjoy and live with fullest in every moment in our life from now on as our future is in our own hand and nobody could grab from us.....See what we can achieve or do ahead and don't look back as thats will stop you or slow you down from moving faster ahead....Friends , brighter 2moro is waiting for us....See you at the top...
