What was your ambition when you were younger? Mine was to be a designer, I even had a sketch book full of childish designs. My grades in primary school were deplorable and I naively assume that a designer doesn't need any qualification (I still think so though, who needs school if one really has great talents). Goals, we all have one, however how many has the determination to achieve what they truly want? Life is full of distractions and there will always be candies out there to coax you out of the deal. I too, fell into the devious trap of life, I did not pursue the path of design. Instead I am into accounting and finance, which is very far off from I had intended. Sometimes I wonder what will the 8yr old me think of the me now. I don't care if she disproves it, I am please with my choice and I hope the 30yr old me in the future will be proud.  

What one loves does not equate to one's profession, sometimes things just don't go as what one intended, however they can always make full use of what they have.
