We all have childhood dreams of becoming someone cool... I wanted to be a ballerina! (but my poor flexibility kind of killed this dream from the get-go)
What did you want to become? And more importantly, have you become that?

when I was very young, a football player. then in middle & highschool wanted to race motocross professionally after riding amateur for years.
never got big enough to play ball, and didn't play in high school because of grades. so focused my energy on riding & racing, which also didn't work out.

This is an excellent article. This is, in my opinion, one of the best posts ever written. Your work is excellent and inspiring. Thank you very much. Waffle game
Formula 1 racer 😄 I even ask my parents to pay for the carting school, but it was so far away from our house that they refuse. Too long commute, no time for school homework. But now... Sometimes i like rural empty roads, you know 😄
@ilya_uglianitsa That's a cool childhood dream! But I guess stars have to allign to make it come true
a train driver, then a pilot
@daniel_engels train driver is awesome! I've heard a story of a guy who worked for Nokia, and left to become a train driver. And he did!
I would like to become Don Corleone for my family)) My nephew comes to me and says: "Uncle, help me find a job." I call a big businessman I know and he hires my nephew))
I wanted to become either a doctor or a pilot, I ended up working in marketing and sales with a science engineering degree :)
@katyaveremeichik Oh wow! Good to hear that :) I am sure you will do great in every position you hold. Wish you all the best dear.
I wanted to be teacher when I was child. But I do not have been it, because I changed my goals. Now I'm interested with start-up ecosystem. Currently, I'm working at Magnetiq as a Growth Intern. Feel free to check and share your opinions about Magnetiq :)

Always wanted to become a doctor as a child. Never made it because hated chemistry in school.
But my childhood dream has bothered me as much, as since 24.02 when war in Ukraine started. Feeling like I missed as opportunity to be more useful for people in such period.
Actually a lot of things- cricketer, businessman, model and what not!
A postal delivery worker or a park ranger... clearly I just wanted to be outside and walking around all day!
I wanted to be a zoologist. My dislike of chemistry kept me from becoming a scientist - but I've compensated by donating to great wildlife and environmental groups.
That's my "Why" - as Simon Sinek says. I started Marketing Career Mentor because I believe every person has their zone of genius and needs to find it/channel it. And the financial goal of that business is to generate money for these types of organizations.
