Quote from tampa:
Do you still have dreams in life? I hope so â dreams are important, dreams are what keep us going.
Did you ever notice how they change over time?
When I was younger, a lot younger, my dream was to grow up, get a good job â like maybe a sales gig â have two kids, and live in a red brick house with a white picket fence. It was the dream of a working class kid. But none of it ever came to be â none of it.
I donât really recall any particular dreams as a younger man. Young people live in the here and now. Dreams are for the future. Young people have a hard time thinking about anything but today.
Without even realizing it, I acquired possessions, and accomplished things that were far beyond the wildest hopes of the kid who wanted to grow up to be a salesman and live in a red brick house.
As the years started to go by, I began to dream once more â I dreamed of one day sitting on top of the world â I dreamed of one day being rich. Well, that wasnât to be either. Dreams donât always come true. But you still have to have them.
I am no longer a kid, no longer a young man. I am now older than I ever dreamed of being way back when. The years have seen dreams come and go â and change over time - some came true, some didnât.
Life has been kind to me, it has also played some cruel tricks â it has a habit of doing that. Somewhere along the way I stumbled on to trading. As Iâve mentioned before, it was more of a hobby than anything else. I love it â I hate it. It has been the most frustrating thing I have ever attempted. And now, beating this damn thing, consistently, day in and day out is my dream. Not to become rich, but just to be able to say: I did it, damn-it, I finally did it.
Silly, isnât it. Iâve gone from dreams of a sales gig and a red brick house with a white picket fence, to wanting to sit on op of the world, to just wanting to beat the YM . And it really is my dream now â it keeps me going. And so what happens if I do? Well, thereâs always the Russel, and than the Euro - the possibilities are endless. Thatâs what I like about dreaming â so long as there is breath in your body, there are dreams to he had.
May all of your dreams come true
