I Have A Dream . . .

"What do you want to be when you grow up ?"

I'm sure this question is very familiar to everyone. We often get asked by our parentsor teachers when we were young. I remember when I was in primary school class my teacher askedeach of us and i answered that I want to become a detective.

I've always had an inquisitive mindand would often question about the things around me or people and why they do certain things.If I happened to be curious enough, I would go all the way to dig up information until I became satisfied withmy findings.

Sometimes I would suprise myself in my ability to fish out information about people or thingswhich i thought was close to impossible. Luck comes into play sometimes but it was mostly becauseI was determined to find out what I wanted to find out, whatever it might be.

Like most other people, I grew up and did not become what I said when I was young. Many factors come into play like level of education, our values and experiences that shaped our thinking changes our goals.

As we grow older we also consider the practicalities of life [ $$$ ] and whether our childhood dream is really feasible for us at this point in time.

Fast forward to the present time, I now have new goals and dreams.

I dream of owning aprivate house and a nice car ( like most people ).
One day, I would not have to squeeze in the crowded train to work but instead wake up at my own time and work from my own home.

I will be earning enough passive income to support my daily expenses so any extra that I earn will go into growing my assets or putting into good use like donating to charity or the church.

Ultimately, a dream is just a dream until we start taking ACTION.

Right now I am working and saving money so that I would be able to sustain myself at this moment before my online business takes off so that I will not have to depend on anyone for a living.

Like a quote from a famous person once said "No one owes us a living."

I will be working on the blogshop and hopefully things will turn out fine and thiswill be a great learning experience for me as it is the first time I'm doing a blogshop business.
