Dream

Each one dreams of doing something, having something or wanting something. Some dreams come true and some don't. Some have the ability of making their dream come true.Some are born ' lucky' to not have to dream of anything.

I thought I shall share some of my "dreams" which unfortunately haven't become true till day. I wanted to become a doctor- a cardiologist. I dreamt of this through out my high school days and even in my 11th and 12th. Unfortunately I was not a 'science person'. I didn't score well in my final exams. So goodbye medicine.

I said ok. My destiny was not medicine. I took up commerce. A completely different direction. I thought I shall go and do my CA . Yeah you guessed it right. I didn't complete it. Let alone complete it, I barely started and I called it quits.

I thought "why don't I give CAT a shot? I 'm not that dumb not to clear it." Didn't do it the 1st time but with the support and encouragement of my 2 good friends(I guess 3. It won't be fair not to mention the 3rd friend) and my family members. I did manage to join a decent B-School. But not the one's I dreamt of - not the IIM's nor any of the top-rung schools.

My dream did not come true. Again.

I completed my PGDM. I said to myself. I deserve a job/career in an Investment Bank. Didn't happen. Landed in a commercial public sector bank.

I know one one would say 'at least you have a job in this job market'. I don't know. I am not commenting on that.

Now I have a new dream. To complete my CFA and fulfill my old dream by joining an I-Bank. Well tried twice. Didn't clear the exam. So thinking of the 3rd time. Should I or shouldn't I?
I don't know whether I am headed in the right direction or not. Am I lazy to realize my dream? Or is it just my bad luck? I don't know. My mom says I am lazy.

Well there is no bar for dreaming. You don't have to pay for dreaming. I don't know whether animals dream too. What would they dream of? Dogs dream of a good "owner"? Wild animals dream of thick forest and good hunt? Animals in the zoo of freedom?

There is no end for dreams (all sort of dreams. Not only the ones I was speaking of) until one lives and gets a sound sleep at nights ;)
