Answer 1

It is a long voyage with many interesting side-trips and tours. Furthermore the road system is always changing as are the attractions. The universe is expanding and so are our desires. That is your job, you are a universe expander. Enjoy!

Answer 2

Well, when I was little, I wanted to be a hero, but my uncle Reno said, "Better a business."

When I was a teen I wanted to be left alone.

In my early twenties I was struggling first to be a good soldier without abandoning my mind to it.

In my later twenties I discovered that I had an IQ of 138, and the object was to be always on the dean's list and to graduate in three years with honors.

From my thirties to retirement a struggled to make university students be as excited as I had been with ideas. My success was rather restricted, as much owning to my want of skills as to their focus on "life style" in place of personal enrichment.

I saved and invested prudently enough so that I can now live quietly in Costa Rica (I picked up four languages along the way that I can still speak pretty well) with a loving little dog and a complaining cat. We are a happy family in our way.

Answer 3

When I was a little girl I wanted to grow up to be an airline stewardess (before they were called flight attendants). Much later in life, I worked as a reservation agent for a major airline. It only took 13 months for me to realize that I no longer wanted anything to do with airports, airplanes, or anything remotely connected to the airline industry.

Answer 4

I wanted to be adventurer since I lived close to Central Park in New York City. That park was my western, my jungle where I could imagine be a mountain climber. After the adventuring I could sit and write my stories because I always wanted to be a writer.

Fifty years after that I still love to write, even when I sleep, I have wonderful adventurers in my dreams.

Answer 5

i kinda knew i would be in the computer/IT field (which i am), unfortunately I'm not "where" i wanted to be... I'm in the US and not in Japan.

as for doing what i wanted to do... another failure... i never turned into a ninja turtle, James Bond, a mutant with superpowers, or an alien... on the other hand I'm an interesting human with a few eccentricities that people view as odd and amusing, but interesting enough where i can make new friends easily :P.

Answer 6

I wanted to be a nurse or a secretary. I work in an office now and although I'm not a scretary any more, I love my job so much more.

Answer 7

I am sort of where I saw myself.
I was passed around to whom ever would take me, and in my loneliest times I vowed that I would be a person that saw great things in children and that I would welcome children in need.
I find now that no matter how much I do, how many children I love, that I find myself surrounded by children that need a loving hand, a place to live, food to eat and a home that they do not fear losing.

Answer 8

I couldn't make up my mind between becoming a Nun or else a Bank Robber. So I compromised and just robbed Nuns. I am in retirement now. Didn't do too well.

Answer 9

I wanted to be like my Mom and happy.

After fighting the evolutionary process of "becoming" my Mother, like we all fight (haha), I realized that's not a bad thing.

The happiness thing is a consistent work in progress.

Really good question!!

Answer 10

never in a million years did i think i'd ever live where i do now, but other then that, my childhood was spent having fun, not thinking about the future.
