Childhood ambitions...

Here´s one we made earlier:

Perhaps we should all update. For me, it´s changed radically. I´ve sold out my business and am doing what I said I initially wanted to - journalism. I´m living in Ibiza doing some freelance writing for this very site. (This week I´m also running Sunday morning at WLS at Space for Mulletover, while the chaps who own the brand are away.8O8) )

Pah, I guess I'm on my own on this one then.

Nothing more, nothing less.
 
My ambition was to be Luke Skywalker, then as I got a bit older I wanted to be Han Solo cos he was cooler and he got the girl :oops:
 
From being about 3 years old I was always fascinated with the world and was constantly thinking about traveling all over the world. I remember being about 8 years old and asking for a map of the world to put on my wall so I could memorise where every single country in the world was...I've done a fair traveling and livign overseas, but the problem is the more you travel the less you think you've seen.... and because I'm so interested in it... there COUNTLESS opportunities to live and work in so many countries


I changed my mind every day / year as to what I wanted to be when I grew up... I'm still thinking about that! ... and will probably change jobs careers again multiple times.

I really don't beleive you're too old to do anything. So many times I hear people say things like "I'm too old for that"... or..." gotta do that now because I can't when i'm older"

i look at my parents who began doing triathlons in their fifties, and now have just started pole vaulting and javelin (8O) in their sixties... and my Dad, who changed careers after age 50... or when he had 3 children under 10 years old( me and my brothers) the whole family picked up and moved overseas so he could do further study.... or my granny who began traveling overseas on her own when she was over 80.. bet the never imagined doing those things when they were younger..

I'm still wondering what I want to do when I grow up! :)

Don't even think of making me dress up as Princess Leigha! 8O
 
I wanted to be a priest. Even learnt Latin and all that stuff and did teachings. But my parents sort of talked me out of it. I'm now no longer even religious.

Then I wanted to be Slash from Guns and Roses....and I still do :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
 
I wanted to be a dancer on telly when I was little. As I got older I wanted to be a writer or journalist and my job is mostly communications so it suits me pretty well.

Bec, my little sister has given up her job to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. Mind you, she's got a barrister husband to support her. Plus she's a vegetarian hippy with no vices to pay for. :lol:

Ha My Dads a bit like that only taught himself to swim when he was 50 just to complete a traithlon, now he is in training for the X-terra event that is happening here in Wales, its basically a sea-swim - Off road mountain bike race - then a cross country run to finish you off.....what a nutter!!!

But he is a great inspiration to me

I used to love all that "Bottle Of Jack Daniels for breakfast" stuff when i was young and impressionable. I though it was dead cool and Slash was the epitome of that.

On my 16th birthday me and a mate - who wanted to be Jon Bon Jovi (pussy:lol: ) - drank a full bottle of Teachers and put me off whiskey for about ten years.:lol: - terrible alcohol poisoning - Who says kids don't emulate their role models!
 
Though I had very short phases of being Jimmy Page and Slash, they were not longer than a week or two at the most.

I wanted to be fighter pilot for a loooong time, but I was highly discouraged by family members and close relatives who had served in the armed forces.

Being mesmerized by historical figures like Achilles, Alexander the Great, Augustus Caesar, Timur Lane and George Patton, I wanted to be the greatest general that ever lived; one who leads by example, one who will be remembered for all eternity, one who will become a mythological figure. I used to play paper general with anyone that I could learn from, planning my conquests.

I still have very strong leadership desires, and in almost every field that I have been involved in, I have managed to rise to critical leadership positions very quickly. But, each time I go to the beach and see a total moron living in a garage boning the hottest chicks I start thinking that maybe I have my priorities wrong.
 
My main one was being a pro footballer. Done the usual trial thing with Barnet etc and West Ham plus a few others took an interest at some stage(still got the letter from Harry Rednapp somewhere8)) but I didnt really have the mind set for it.:cry:

Since then Iv'e shoveled **** for a living in a wide variety of things by selling my time to the highest bidder, driving jobs and all that.

Other than football I never really had any other goals (no pun intented). However, I could always draw so I decided to teach myself design and as a result have scored some amazing work for some of the largest brands in business.8)

Also found out Im quite good at knocking tunes together. At 32 I am still searching for my "niche".8O Have considered psychology and all that but tbh self help books and anaylising everything and his mum does my head in.:evil:

Gonna be a dad next year so maybe ill find something soon. Maybe not.

Who cares anyway8)
