What are your goals and dreams?

[Der/die AtheistIn]

I forgot about children, I really wish to be a mom someday.

What sort of price range are you looking at?

[J a c k]

Goals: Raise my kids to be self sufficient, strong, kind, and healthy. I want them to live happy lives. Then I want to have a great retirement. I want to travel the world. I want to write books. I want to own an RV and road trip all over the states.

Dreams: Fall in love. Keep it going. Make it last.

[Edwardo Piet]

Yeah. We have different goals but that's definitely my primary dream too. It's the sort of thing you can't force right?

Ever since I saw The Emperor's Club (2002) (and most recently, Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)), I've dreamed of being a housemaster at a private boarding school (a picturesque New England boarding school always comes to my mind) along with being a teacher there.  IMO, it seems that school kids are far more rational, open-minded, and mature than many adults are, so it would be quite an honor to work with them and to see them transition from young adolescents to young adults. 

In terms of impossible dreams, I guess one impossible dream is where I'm one of Earth's leading intellectuals/thinkers.  However, thanks  to  my  mathematical studies, I've come to realize how little I am and how much I do not know/understand.

Spend the rest of my life building things because that's what I love. Building things of wood and building electronics. Creating software for desktop and laptop computers is good too.

Living long enough to give my wife a quality life. She does not like to be alone so my continued existence does good there.

Live long enough to provide for our cats. This ties in with the first because I can build things for them.

If I was younger, I would like to be a part of what Elon Musk is doing. Building electric cars and rockets which can reach orbital space at relatively cheap prices are things which truly advance humanity. It would really be fulfilling to be a part of something like that.

Unfortunately, I through away my life through sloth and alcohol. My fourth aspiration is no longer realistic. I can still achieve 1-3 though so that is where I'm at now.

Hate to burst your bubble, but those kind of schools up here are often embroiled in controversy, ranging from abuse, to rape, to various forms of fraud. They're essentially daycare for the children of rich parents who think that the prestige of these institutions will somehow makeup for their intentional absence from their children's lives.

You wanna make a real difference? Go into the trenches of public school and teach kids who weren't born with a silver spoon up their asses.

I appreciate your honest response, perspective, and challenge, sir.  However, no bubble has been burst: my post was simply me trying to have some fun with the op by letting my thoughts freely wander far from this reality. Thanks.

All i got to do is keep doing what i'm doing. 

I find it more interesting to know how far people are willing to go and how much people are willing to risk to pursue their passions in life. And whether or not people deny themselves their passions and dreams for more easier, attainable goals.

World domination and limited genocide.

It's like you don't know me at all.
