I never had those kinds of dreams, only because as I started to dream, I was brutally awoken by reality. I followed the parental promise of get good grades go to a good high school. Go to a good high school get good grades, go to a good college. Go to a good college get good grades, and get a good job. Get a good job, meet a nice girl, settle down get married and raise a nice family.

I had met my soulmate when I was overseas and still in college. I had a vivid dream the moment I met her that we were destined to be together. We eventually did get together. We lived together, she cheated on me with a coworker, and I was devastated. I dropped out of college because I was making mad money as a computer consultant, and didn't want to be distracted by my heartache. I eventually moved from LA to NYC, a move that when I was younger would have never considered.

So I set myself on a path of build the best of what's available and make the most of it.

I never knew what I wanted to do for a career, it just kind of fell into it place. I consider myself lucky that even though I dropped out of college, I've had the fortune of working for Fortune 100 companies in decsision making capacities and getting paid handsomely for it.

My wife, whom I met on the job and became good friends with before we started dating asked me a question when we first met, and I pose it to the rest of the forum since it does have relevance to Jadz's initial question..."When do you give up the dream?"
