Maybe one day.
I'm currently studying Icelandic at the local Scandinavian Cultural Centre. It actually ties into one of My dreams, which is to visit Iceland. For free online lessons, you could get started at Icelandic Online.
My other dreams:
- I want to learn stage magic and am planning to find a local tutor sometime in the not-too-distant future.
- There's a whole bunch of stories I wrote for National Novel Writing Month that I'd like to get published, at least as e-books. (Some editing and pruning is required.)
- 3 more instruments required to complete My collection: E flat sopranino clarinet, bass clarinet, and tenor sax. Planning to have them all sometime in the next 2-3 years.
- Finally, I have a recurring vision of standing on the stage of the Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg. It's a very sharp image: I'm on the apron on the left side of the stage, and I'm holding an alto clarinet. Don't know if I'm there as a soloist with the Symphony or about to sit down and play in a community band gig, but it's uncannily vivid.
I'm going to Reykjavik in February to try and see the northern lights and spend a fuck ton of money drinking champagne in a hot spring thing. No idea why, just seemed like the thing to do.

Thank you for sharing your goals, sir. What areas of science interest you? What languages are you currently fluent in? How many languages would you like to learn?
As for me, my main goal is to become a peacemaker. By no means am I aiming to change the world. However, perhaps I can help some young person become excited about ideas and knowledge; thus, inspiring that individual to develop his or her own talents and make the world better as a result. IMO, the pursuit of that goal makes life meaningful and worthwhile for me.

I want to live long enough to meet my daughter's children if she has any.
I want to go back to live in my hometown of Mackay one day.
I would buy property there and have an animal hobby farm, a fruit orchard and build a rainforest from scratch.
What you said is interesting but I'd like to know where is your hometown.
I looked where is Mackay with Wikipedia but I can't found anything because many places have the same name in the world.
I found places named Mackay in Canada , Commonwealth of Australia and USA.
Please , say us in which country , state / province can I found this place ? It's in Queensland, Australia.
I'm currently living in Toowoomba, about 12 hours drive south. :-)

A world without squirrels would be a good start.

I'm fluent only in my native language (French). I'd like to learn so many languages that I can't post a list there.
What areas of science interest me ?
I'm interest about biology , physic , psychology , neuroscience and others stuff similar to these sciences.
Your main goal is a realistic goal. That is good for you because you can accomplish it.

They keep biting through my outdoor lighting, the goofy little twats do, and they will eat anything, they're always in my bins shitting me up when I walk past.

I updated the list :
Seven dreams that I'd like to realise (Importance order) :
1.I want to become rich. I'd like to own some millions of Euros or more.
I prefer to own billions of Euros but some millions is sufficient for someone like me because I don't want to buy expensive things such a manor , expensive clothes , yacht etc...
If I can win some billions it would be better than win some millions because more money = more business opportunities.
Why not to become the first trillionaire (officially , because there are maybe an unknown trillionaire even if he does probably not exist) with a net worth of one trillion (1 000 000 000 000) or more in US dollar , Euro or Pound Sterling.
That means I would have approximately 50% of the GDP of my country (France) if I had these today.
2.Obtain my DNB (diplôme national du brevet / diploma of national certificate) as a candidat libre (Litt : Free candidate , Understandable English : external candidate or independent candidate)
The list below contain diplomas equivalent or similar to DNB in the main English speaking countries.
Australia : Record of School Achievement (RoSA) or Higher School Certificate (HSC) in New South Wales
Canada : Not found
Republic of Ireland : Junior Certificate (Irish : Teastas Sóisearach)
New Zealand : NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement) level 1
UK : GCSE under C grade (general certificate of secondary education)
USA : Not found
Usually , we pass this diploma at the end of 3ème.
It is the equivalent of Year 10 or Ninth grade. (Accorded to countries)
3.Get a baccalauréat général (general baccalaureate) as a candidat libre (Litt : Free candidate , Understandable English : external candidate or independent candidate) .
The list below contain diplomas equivalent or similar to baccalauréat général in the main English speaking countries.
Australia : High School Certificate (HSC)
Canada : Canadian Diploma Certificate of Education (CDCE) more known under the name of High School Diploma.
Canada (British Columbia) : British Columbia Certificate of Graduation
Canada (Ontario) : Ontario Secondary School Diploma
Canada (Quebec) : HS Diploma/Diplôme D.E.S.
Republic of Ireland : Leaving Certificate Examinations (Irish : Scrúduithe na hArdteistiméireachta)
New Zealand : National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)
UK : A-Level
USA : High School Diploma
USA (New York State) : Regents Diploma
4.Create my own business.
Why not found a business if I can do it ?
If I can do it I'll maybe have the opportunity to create a trading empire to bring me money.
5.Being fluent in many languages.
If I can become fluent in many languages it would be possible to speak to people in theirs native language. Speak to anyone in his native language = Better social interactions.
6.Learn more science. More science = more knowledge and better understanding of things.
7.Obtain my driving license to drive cars.
