Most if not all think they will amount to something in their life. great or small but something. Where does this kind of thinking come from? It is certainly childish I would say, don't you?
From mommies and daddies and teachers that say you can grow up to be anything you want. Of course they aren't going to tell you about a lifetime of debt and work when you are still a child
i don't think it is childish, where there's a will there's a way. i don't think i'm going to be a famous singer or an olympic athlete but i'm sure i will still amount to something. i expect at the end of my life i will be able to say that i was a good person, i tried to achieve my dreams, it doesn't matter if i don't get them as long as i at least tried to achieve them and for me i think that is all that matters. i don't think it's a childish thing, even adults have dreams and things they want to achieve
