Pursuing a Dream

When you are young the world seems full of opportunities and chances that are waiting to be seized by you. Throughout my life I have had my share of ups and downs and quite often I have been disappointed by sudden turns of fate, though, always trying to look on the bright side.

Ambitious I may consider myself for many times I have been overcome by the strong desire to achieve a goal, regardless of its nature. However, the one that had the strongest effect upon my life was probably the ambition to succeed in my career as a broker. As a student I was given that unique and often rare opportunity of working in a distinguished finacial office alongside with far more skilled and experienced sharks. But, despite the fact that my job was entirely connected with the course I was attending at the university there was still the contradiction between my working time and my school timetable. Furthermore, some of the teachers were against students working during the term and I had to face the absurdity of the education system being under threat of expelling. Even then I did not give up my work and continued to work, a decision which I now do not regret as it has paid off during the years. Because of my high-quality work and devotion to the subject I was able to build inmensly succesuful career and to successfully graduate from school.

And yet, if it was not for the fact that I risked my studies I would not have been able to meet the right people and to gain access to one of the well-known names in my field. Thinking about it now it seems unlikely to me that I have been so stubborn for I have always preferred to be on the safe side and not to take any unnecessary risks. Moreover I have always dreaded the possibility of being exposed to any peril at all. But from time to time one needs to reconsider one’s aims and to decide which one of them is the most important. You cannot succeed unless you take the bull by the horns.

In my opinion modern society has played a significant role in shaping children as selfish and spoilt, but a closer look would prove that youngsters are rather suppressed and even struggling for attention in the grown-ups’ world.
To begin with, successful and ambitious parents often buy beautiful and fancy presents for their children under the pretext of care and consideration. Yet, on the bottom lies a troubled consciousness for not having enough time to spend with them, which craves to be soothed. Constant business trips and working overtime are filling adults’ task schedules. Unfortunately, some of them miss to realize that the real important thing is their children and the care they need. Having dolls and being surrounded by beautiful objects make a child happy and rather spoilt, but deep down there is a sustained feeling of sadness and lack of attention, a hole which is to be filled with nothing but more presents. Thus, the youngs learn to want more material stuff, which will assure only a temporary feeling of satisfaction and security.
Another spoiling practice lies in parents’ tendency to buy the most recent fashionable objects, so that the youngsters would not feel like social outcasts. New mobile phones, ipods, stylish piece of clothing and any other imaginable faddy toy, will be bought just because it is trendy. Consequently, children begin to compete with one another merely on the base of the material.
All this spoiling and tolerating of severe competition among youngsters makes them learn the adulthood’s lesson too soon. Their seemingly carefree days are just a prelude to the grown-ups’ world. The constant struggle for success becomes a part of their lives very early. No matter whether it is a sports competition or a school project the most important thing becomes the win and not the joy of playing.
All in all, today’s children may seem rather indulged, but the truth being told, most of them lack the untroubled years of freedom – freedom from material things and prejudices, freedom to give and receive attention in exchange for nothing.
