Indeed, but 95% of people are ruled by greed. : )

There would be a coffee shop which sold every type of coffee, a book club which would meet every monday night and all the regulars whould come in get comfy with a coffee or tea and discuss everything books. Oh also we would stock and order limited editions. I would wake up with a smile on my face and love going into work everyday.

I'll own the US branch. Seriously that pretty much sums up my dream. It would be so fantastic to wake every morning and deal with books and book people.

I would also like to own a small one screen theater and show all my favorite old movies. That would be so great I would show classics like 'To Kill a Mockingbird', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', 'Creature from the Black Lagoon" and kung-fu movies.

I need to win the lottery

re - "To Kill a Mockingbird". How good is Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. Perfect.

Interesting = Yes.
Useless Creation = Yes.

I love those old kung fu movies. Bruce Lee was the best. I have several from the late 60's and early 70's. Most of them are kind of stupid but they are fun to watch. I can sit in my recliner and watch them on my big-screen tv and surround sound, so Gannon, I may be living in your dream.

I want to go to university, study medicine and music.

But my near distance goal is to pass Grade 8 piano next year, and in year 11 and 12 study for DipABRSM.

It's a dream I want to do, but it's not life-long is it?

Gannon~

To own an old style book shop with two stories.

That's a lovely dream! I hope you can achieve it!

I know this is going to sound hokey, but when I was younger all I wanted was to clone a gene, (and then I did it), and then all I wanted was to be a first author on a scientific publication (and then I did that, a lot). And now, I swear, I just want to be truly, honestly happy.

Wow, sorry for being a downer...

You aren't a downer. You achieved your dreams.
And that's something to be proud of. ^^

My dream for my life is my kids should be different from my personality and have to be better than me. So I try to make them happy and think that it's the best goal for my life.

When I feel like that I always think of the line from Leonard Cohen:

'The birds they sing at break of day
Start again ... I heard them say'

That's a lovely quote Fran. I feel like printing it out and taping it to my mirror...

(I had to look up the author, is his music good?)
