Our Childhood Dream

When we were kid, we had various dreams like everyone seems to be like I want to become pilot or singer or dancer or engineer and so on.

but,

As the time passes most of them tend to forget their dream or deviated from their dreams, Years passed away in a blink of an eye and suddenly we turn into adults.

Then the reality showed its true colours.

why?

Soon we start running in the rat race. In our pursuit to win the never ending rat race, we forget our real dream. We have compromise our dreams for a bigger pay check. May be because of the various responsibilities or some or the other reason.

American poet Mary Oliver wrote in her poem The Summer Day, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

         So, what do you plan to do? 

         What were your big, beautiful childhood dreams? 

         Are you pursuing those dreams- someway, somehow- right now? 

Listen to your childhood dreams. Discover what you really want to do. Do it, and you’ll find yourself changing the world-because you were born to change it.

While composing this blog a thought come in my mind that, 

As a kid, my first dream was to serve for my mother land India, So I thought to become commando, who protects our border from terrorist and intruders,

Then I realized, army requires discipline and waking up early in the morning so I thought I should become a doctor as it is the noblest , the most respectable profession and would help me in serving my people and ultimately my country. but then I realized that I need to study for 10 years to become doctor.

Hence I weighed my option on a scale.

On one scale, I had an option to study for 10 years while on the other scale, the option was to study for 4 years.

Well, you all know the decision made by me.

Why Software Engineering is best profession?

Software engineering is one of the fastest growing fields in the world today, Software engineers can have higher innovation rates than any other field. Today software engineers have highest salary rates in the world compared to any other field.

And now being Software Engineer I want to keep my childhood dream of serving my India true so Along with my engineering, I have ambition of entrepreneur, because I want to serve my country by starting my own Company. I have always wanted to run my own company giving more employment opportunity to Indian citizens. 

Another advantage of Software Company is that start-up costs for any kind of software business is very low. It is one of the reasons why I pursued Software Engineering.

Well, this is my story! What is yours??

Cheers!

Mukhtesar!
