As a young
chap I had things on my mind I really wanted to accomplish and probably not so different
were other kids, I remember how I and some other kids used to be questioned by older
folks about our future "what do you want to be in the future?" we answering with energetic optimism, say stuffs like “I want to be a doctor/lawyer/accountant/engineer” boldly
that it even intimidates the interrogator, making some wish they had better exposure
in their time, surest of all was the SANDALILI (standard living) song every
child in my time and clan sang with poise.
But as the
days grew older and sky attracting the heads of boys and girls as they metamorphosis,
the sureties seemed to take a different turn as one time prospective doctor/lawyer/accountant/engineer
finds him/herself toeing a different lane, now the question comes to be
1. Did they loose interest in their
initial dream?
2. Did they just discover themselves?
3. Is this an undreamt dream?
Personally I’ve never thought of anything else than being a
medical doctor and a priest, I grew with them as though I was born that way,
but having seen friends deviate from their lets assume original course, so I begin
to wonder if I was special or something (of course I am), and though some might
have been less fortunate, but three things keep me yet going, my
parents who defined purpose and not career to me, early discovery of myself,
and the third, my undreamt dreams one of which is writing, I never planned
being a writer, as a matter of fact, my younger brother started writing way
before I knew I could, but as I discovered an undreamt dream it never distracted
me from a known purpose, but propelled me to greater chances, undreamt dreams
might just be the lubricant to your engine of purpose but I think we must learn
and tag their borders, so that they won't distract us from our purpose. conclusively I’ll like to urge parents to teach their
children purpose rather than choosing careers for them and young folks telling themselves
the truth of who they are and want to be rather than live in the fantasy of a
though possible but unfulfilling future. Believe in yourself and what you do
best, what you can see you can achieve, even your undreamt dreams
