Mine is simple. I would like to own a small house on a piece of land at least 1 acre in size. I would like to have a Golden Retriever named 'Dawson' and a lawn that would need to be mowed with a riding lawn mower.
What's your 'ultimate' goal?

well like everyone else, its success. but mine i would want it to be something which serves others too rather than just my self, e.g. an invention or maybe a space explorer. you see i don't like to be alone and money and things alike separate you from people. you get so lost in your imagination to "get more, control things" that you find yourself very lonely. i know, i have been there. but when you do something for the world, you feel very happy and that's the real success.

It's fine to pursue an ultimate goal, but you also need to pursue an ideal.
What's the difference? A goal can be reached (if it's a realistic goal), but an ideal is something that probably can't be reached.
What's wrong with having a goal but not having an ideal? You might reach your goal - in fact, you probably will if you're serious about it. But then what would you do? Enjoy having obtained your goal, yes, but what else? Wouldn't you miss striving for something? That's where ideals come in. The reward of pursuing an ideal is in the pursuing, not in the obtaining.
What is my ideal? Mine is philosophy, which ultimately is the pursuit of the optimization of human life.

I wish to be healthy - to enjoy life, to live close enough of my dear parents, to have a loving family, a good job - challenging and rewarding, at the same time - and to learn something new every day.
It would be nice to have a house and a garden, too - with big trees.
And if I would have some books, some records and a piano too....then I'll be able to say that I am really really happy!

My goals...
Well, first, I want one of my stories published. Hopefully now, or within a few years... that would be so awesome.
Then, I want to visit New York, San Francisco, Hollywood, London, Paris, Japan, Africa, and Greece.
I want to play my viola professionally.
And, if I find him, to get married and have a family.

To arrive at a place that is just the right blend of stress and laid back comfort. I would like to arriving there by learning from my experiences and coming to terms with who I am, what I am capable of, and the things that I have no control over.

You'll think this is really weird, but I want to have enough good karma to be reborn as a golden retriever named "Dawson".

who wouldn't want to be rich and successful and such? I do want those things, but what I'd like more is that I could sharpen my personality, become a better person, live happily, and when the time comes, I can look back my whole life without regretting anything.

Do you consider yourself to be a good person???
If you have ever told a lie... you are liar.
If have ever stolen anything.........you are theif.
If you died and were standing before God on judgment day,
Would you be innocent or guilty?
Would you go to Heaven or Hell?
