Being a child, setting your mind that when I grow up, I want to be a doctor, a teacher, a soldier, a lawyer and may others but not thinking about what the future will offer you. In those days when we were in the primary school when the teacher will ask everyone what he or she wants to become in future, we say something as to represent something. The future also holds greater part of your destiny.
The contributing factors to our destiny achievement. Our systems, the environment, our parents the laws and the constitution, our friends are the some of the factors to destiny achievement. Everyone on the the street dreamed of having or being successful in their future, but turns out bad. If you ask them, it's because of some factors.
Our system has made it so much that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. If you don't pay that money, you can not have your way to your destiny. If you do not pay bribe, you can not join the national security service, you can not be that lawyer. Ooh! What a system we created that favours the rich but punish the poor.
Yes, you can dream the future, think of what you want to become but think about the system, the environment and your parents too. You can deside what you want to be, but the future could offer you anything. Make sure you have alternatives.
Yh. I accept you opinions but that depends on where you are coming from. In my location, society have an influence in your future even though you have I choice to create your own future.
