b'When I Grow Up\\u2026\\n\\n\\n\\nDo you remember getting this question in childhood as well as answering the question, \\u201cWhat do you want to be when you grow up? Back in the days of being told that \\u201cyou can do whatever you put your mind to\\u201d and if you can dream it you can do it\\u201d, we found ourselves dreaming of being astronauts, rocket scientists, firepersons, zookeepers, Michael Jordan, time travelers and working at the waffle house. (Btw, that last one was a real dream of a little one who loved eating there)\\n\\n\\n\\nWhy should that stop once we are adults? Can we not still do what we dream or dare to think big? It would seem that there is an unspoken expectation that happens in adulthood. What once was \\u201creach for the stars\\u201d, became \\u201cbe realistic\\u201d or \\u201cdon\\u2019t aim too high\\u201d.\\n\\n\\n\\nWhat in the world is that!!!!\\n\\n\\n\\nIf we really think about it, we will see how contradictory this can be and how can we inspire the coming generations if we lose hope of doing what we love once we become adults?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSo let\\u2019s have some fun\\u2026.\\n\\n\\n\\nHello you!

If we have self-driving cars and a guest room in space, courtesy of the ISS, then it is definitely possible to do what you love during your lifetime. When the Wright brothers said they wanted to find a way for man to fly, I mean I wasn\\u2019t there or anything, but I imagine they were probably laughed out of whatever room they were in. Look at us now! Flying around the world is commonplace and people can even go into space!\\n\\n\\n\\nSo what amazing thing excites you?
