What is your life long dream?

Post by Bighuey »

My life long dream is to go to the ruins of Troy where they had the Trojan war. I was always facinated with that story.

To own an old style book shop with two stories. That sells old rare editions and new books. We would have author signings and there would be lots of comfy couches to sit in and read. 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. :D

That's a good dream to have, I really do hope you'll be able to achieve it easily enough.

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

Yeah, I could go to Bueno Aires back and forth during the time I've been typing my post.

Your dream was to be born? :shock:

People only value what they do not possess. Life is the greatest gift of all, being able to experience everything in this world is just wonderful, even the necessity of feeding our senses is magical ( I love to eat, I love to drink water, I love to swim, I love to read and watch a movie, listening to music, do sports). In millions of spermatozoids we were the lucky one's, how can people be so selfish? However, there is no problem in having dreams because it gives life a purpose, ... so goodluck with your dreams. To define my person you just to search for one word, Sage. My dream is yours.

Sage: The one that values only what is truly valuable and because of that does not live with the ambition, the inquietion and deception that perturb the common men existence. -The one that allies virtue to wisdom. ( trying to be better in this part^^)

^ Well, good for you :) But having dreams doesn't mean we don't appreciate what we have.
