    Question Your goal in life

    What's your goal in life?!

    When I mean goal, I mean what do you want to be when you grow up.(only for those who are under 18)

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Just spoke with someone about this..

    I would like to play professional basketball, but that isn't gonna happen.

    So maybe Journalism? Or become a historian? I haven't really decided yet.

    Hmmm yeah, I know. I have played for a year or so, but I don't have the height.

    I'm not gonna give up, it's a great hobby, but, where I live, I don't have the facilities to play very often.

    I don't have the height either. In basketball, height doesn't count. The best examples: Earl Boykins and the best, Spud Webb.

    Strategic Air Command then Politics, if I survive that long. That's as of now at least. Write some books too.

    That's a bit narrow. Most people who go to University either do not know what they be when they finish or end up doing something completely different to what they thought they wanted anyway. 21 would make more sense in that regard.
    Even still, I have changed paths in life several times now. It was really inevitable given the choices I had made and events which just got thrust upon me. You have to keep dreaming all the way through, otherwise you'll just pick a job at 21 and work in it till you die/retire.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    I am well aware that a lack of height isn't essential. I was replying to your comment about Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan could start at 14, because he already has an advantage (height) and this would make developing the skills needed for a forward easier.

    Another good example of a short player that proves height isn't essential: Allen Iverson.

    Still, Professional Basketball would be great, and I'll definitely keep it as a hobby, but becoming a pro is undecided.

    I wanna be either Emperor of the Free World or International Terrorist.

    If I can't do that, I wouldn't mind working in the diplomacy, UN, EU, or in a eastern europe country (those where there are lots of chicks )

    Ha, don't get excited. We only play covers and, like I said, we don't even have a singer yet. We just want to play pubs and stuff, make a bit of cash.

    It's a fabolous industry.

    I don't want to join it, although many said to me that I have a good voice and I was selected in many choirs in my school.

    But hey BKS, why don't you sing?!

    I really want to be a pro soccer player. Or a pro backetball player. Or a pro football player. However I probably won't get past the college level in any of those. Soccer maybe I can make it. If those don't work out I will either be a sotfware developer, lawyer or historian.

    I would want to take a masters degree in information technology and possibly work as a system developer in the oil business.

    Football but if that dosent work join the U.S.M.C serve become a drill sgt, get into movies then get my own show on the history channel
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I'm impressed the number of people who want to start their adult lives by joining the forces.
    It really is the best way to kick-start your life - except for having rich parents.

    BP...I am with you all the way. Almost done with college (December) and then if I could retire...mmm...video games...

    But I know that won't happen. Right now, I want to get a job in the food industry (I would love to walk through Dillons/Hy-Vee and I say 'I make that...and that...and that...) that pays the bills (and @*#$ student loans).

    Eventually get married and then have kids. But no kids for a long time. I'm still to young and stupid to be a Dad.
