Childhood dreams

What were my childhood dreams. Bold are the dreams, indented italics are my current day evaluation. 

To go to mars 

Explore the unknown, go places no man has been, push beyond “today” 

To be a bike messenger in NYC 

Freedom, Independence, Speed, Agility 

To be the richest man in the world 

Richie Rich had all the coolest toys. 

To marry a beautiful woman 

Done! 

To be an artist 

To create and to express the things I see in my mind 

To build a robot with full AI 

A true friend. 

To teach 

Share my knowledge, experience, and views 

To be a great runner and be sponsored 

I always felt free while running, and would love to be paid to do what comes naturally 

To write and publish a book of poetry 

So many words to put together in new and interesting ways 

To design and build my house 

Done! 

To defend and protect the innocent – “Walking Tall” 

Everyone wants to be a hero 

To make my parents proud 

They are my base, my core, I want them to know that they made the right choices 

To be wanted by women envied by men 

Done! 😉 

To own my own business building cutting edge technology – Wayne enterprises 

Power, Money, and cool toys. 

To have children who surpass me 

My real legacy. 

To own a cabin in the mountains 

Solitude and Peace. 

I still have a long ways to go, but I will get there.
