What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
My dream is that one day i will have enough money to visit Graceland, then go on to Dysneyland and then stop off at Vagas on the way back home.
Then with lady luck on my side i would put my last coin in a slot machine and win the jackpot.
Well, we can but dream.  ::) ::)

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
I have always believed in doing what you dream.. My wife was well chuffed with this when we got together. I told her to make a list of the things she always wanted to do and one way or another we would do them..

One of the things on the list was to go ski-ing (This from someone who had never been furthur than blackpool in her life)  ...So I said one step at a time.. First to Rossendale for a few goes.. Then that place up scotland to do it on snow and finally at least a weekend if not a week in a proper ski resorty abroad...

After 2 goes at rossendale she decided ski-ing wasnt for her and she never wanted to go again.. hahahaha

Everything else on her list was done.. Including passing her driving test which she did first time and now never drives..

I still ahve one thing on my list.. Never been horse riding.. But I need to do another list or else I wont have anything to look forward to if I do that last thing...

But I cant think of owt to put on the list....Would like to learn the language Urdu.. Always wanted to speak it.. But as I ahvent mastered my own English language I cant see it happening real soon..

Pretty fulfilled here.. done everything we ever wanted to do :)

What a brilliant dream Anne. ;D

I would love to see the Grand Canyon and New Orleans. One of my dreams is New Zealand, which I am doing in November, along with Hong Kong and Bangkok. Littlemo mentioned going to Ontario to see her when we are both 40, which I would also love to do.
Hope you weren't kidding there Mo, cos I'm saving up! ;D

How romantic HarryX. That's so nice, writing a list of dreams that you and your wife want to achieve. Mightdo that myself, you've given me an idea now.
My biggest dream is to work on a development project in the 3rd world. My husband says to wait while we're retired, he's not so keen on the idea. You never know though, one day...

Hey, Vinny, I'm hoping to retire at 45!!!!! It's not that long off! (there you go, I've just discovered another dream as well - retire at 45!! )

HarryX 18-09-2003 10:09

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
Retire at 45? ...Now I feel really old.. Arrrgh :)

Jo 18-09-2003 12:44

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
Don't worry HarryX, it would only mean I'm a "young-aged pensioner", doesn't mean that you're old at all! and after my early retirement I'd be off working in the 3rd world fulfilling my dream, remember, and I think you need to be young and fit for that, don't you? :)

HarryX 18-09-2003 13:32

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
Young age pensioner... like the sound of that.,.. Am I too late I wonder ? :)

Mik Dickinson 18-09-2003 17:01

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
I like Harrys phrasing young aged pensioner.Shame to have to wait until you are 45 to use it though.

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
:D   Just realised that it is only 7 weeks off my dream holiday. My step brother and his family moved to New Zealand in january 2002, and I have been saving up to go and see them ever since. I am having 3 nights in Hong Kong on the way there, then flying to Brisbane (it was Melbourne but Quantas have re-scheduled my flight) On to Aukland for 17 nights then to Sydney, finally having 4 nights in Bangkok on the way home. I am soooo excited now and can't wait to do some major sightseeing and hopefully christmas shopping. It has been a bind saving all my holidays this year in order to get the time off, but it will be worth it, if only to buy my little nephew a decent christmas pressie while I'm there. :)

Wondering where I can go next, already saving up for the next one. ;D

New girl again - what have I missed?

My life's ambition is, and always has been, to be able to make money as fast as I can spend it.

Never got there yet ...... ah well, there's always the lottery (yeah).

And if anybody had ever told me that I would earn what I earn now and wouldn't be rich, I would never have believed it - but it's too true!

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
Im not sure what my dreams and ambitions are, 3 years ago it was to be in a happy household where i could seriously relax,have fun, and have my own personal space that would never be interrupted by anyone else, have a good job thats a bit of a challenge yet pays quite well, go out when i want and not worry about money, go out a bit more and not have all the stress of family.......2 years later and i have got all that :) my only aim i have at the moment is to become 100% physically, mentally and financially well in order to have children whilst im quite young :) Wish me luck!haha.

Finding love and affection that doesn't come with conditions, peace and contentedness would be worth more than any degree wealth.

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
Well Doug, I think most love is conditional, except perhaps, that of some parents for their children, and I don't think ALL parents feel that.

I think there's a marginal difference between the unconditional love between lets say a mother and child and perhaps those conditions that are sometimes applied to our relationships. The conditions of which I speak of are those that we apply to our partners that make undue demands on a relationship and not those that go hand in hand with what should be a caring relationship.

WillowTheWhisp 08-09-2004 16:36

Re: What is your dream or ambition in life.
 
I think I understand what you're getting at. Real love is unconditional.

I would like to think so willow, and has this thread is about dreams or ambitions I think it's something that, if it can be realised, then I would much rather have that than the material wealth that can be much easier to obtain.

Never too late - I want to do my PhD when I retire (except that I will have to do some work in a university lab). I had an offer of a place at Exeter some years back, but the boring necessity of earning a living got in the way. Once I retire on my fabulous State pension (which will probably be rather less than I am currently paying the State), and my little pittance from Equitable Life (don't ask!) etc, I am hoping to be able to finally get round to it. It is in a rather abstruse area of cognitive psychology - any offers of subjects, folks?
