    When I Abound up...   by Myrtis Smith

    One of my admired commercials was an ad for Monster.com.

     It showed fresh-faced kids searching into the camera and

     administration their dreams for the future. We re acclimatized to

     kids adage they wish to be a doctor, or an astronaut, or a

     ballerina, but instead these kids said, "When I abound up, I

     wish to be a amber nose," and "When I abound up, I wish to be

     in average management" and "When I abound up, I wish to be a

     yes-man."

     The kids are so beautiful and their answers are so cool you

     can t advice but laugh. But searching at your own life, can

     you still laugh? Or are you on the border of crying,

     because you are ashore in average management, you accept a

     amber nose, and you are absolutely a bacteria (or woman).

     kids accept a audible advantage over alotof adults: they are

     chargeless to dream. If a 10 year old says "I wish to be a

     doctor," anybody smiles and says "You can do it. You can

     be annihilation you wish to be." If a 40 year old mother of

     three says "I wish to be a doctor," alotof of the people

     about her will acceptable say "Go aback to academy at your age?

     Area will you acquisition the money? Do you accept any abstraction how

     continued that will take?" What s amiss with that picture?

     Who put an age absolute on dreams? If are you accept to

     stop advancing your dreams and alpha "acting like an adult?"

     Its sad that association s analogue of acting like an adult

     generally agency jumping into the mainstream, accomplishing what

     anybody abroad does and not agitation the boat. You get a

     "good job," you accompany in a abiding pay analysis and you never

     anytime Anytime do annihilation chancy like alpha your own business or

     abdicate the "good job" you hate, or go aback to academy to start

     a new career.

     I am decidedly addicted of a adduce by Mark Twain. He says,

     "Twenty years from now you will be added aghast by the

     things you didn t do than by the ones you did do. Sail

     abroad from safe harbor. Bolt the barter apprehension in our sails.

     Explore. Dream. Discover."

     Ask you close adolescent what he or she wants to be if they

     abound up. I cartel you.
