Hello everybody!
As you probably have heard (i mean ... you must if you are reading this, because there is probably no way to avoid the homepage) KT_Violet passed away today. But while i was writing my comment on that thread i was thinking: "He was so good at this game that at some point it had to be his dream to become a progamer. There is basicly no way how it wasn't his dream. Which means he lived his dream, as good as possible. So, how far am i to fulfill my dream? What have I done to live my dream? And the most important question: What exactly is my dream?"
And then there was this idea, that i'm possibly not the only one who thinks this way.
So you might be asking yourself now "What is the intention behind this Thread?"
It's easy. Just write down what your dream is and what you have done to achieve it.
The only rule (that sounds like it's a forum game) is that you're not allowed to answer something like "yeah, i want to be a doctor and in like 2 years im gonna start uni"!
No! Don't think like that!
And just to make this clear: This thread is not for me, to see what the dreams of the TL community are, it's for you, to know where you are and what you need to do. You don't even need to write down your dream. It's enough if you really think about this topic. 
I start:
I dream of living in New York because i just love this City. Also i love to speak english (and yeah, you all can say "why do you love something if you're so bad at it!?") so living in New York would be pretty good for me. Also i would like to play Starcraft 2 for a living, which is a nice way to say i would like to become a progamer. Now, what have i done to achieve this dreams? Actually, i am ashamed to say: not really much. Acutally nothing. I have not enough money to effort a 1 week trip to new york, my english is not really the best (at least that's what i think, correct me if i'm wrong) and i'm just a diamond zerg who doesnt play enough to become good anytime soon. But at least now i know what i need to do to fulfill my dreams.
Now it's your turn.
P.S.: If this is in a wrong section and there are actually enough people paying attention to this, it would be great to maybe move it to a better section Last edit: 2012-08-24 06:56:27 |

Hopefully this thread doesn't turn into a place to criticize others' dreams as impossible or stupid  If something actually is dumb, the act of writing it down will alert the author how implausible it is, or at least it should.
I personally just want to get a good job that makes a decent amount of money that I enjoy, and a family. Those are really the only criteria that I can think of to be happy. Thankfully, that's pretty broad and acheivable. So far all I've done as far as a good job is doing well in school, but I won't bore anyone with the details. I guess right now I'd like to live in America because it's powerful (and thus stable) and has a low cost of living (don't like socialist-ish countries). Switzerland would be cool, though.Last edit: 2012-08-24 06:40:24 |

I guess I have a few very childish and a few serious dreams, which I really want to live through ... Today basically motivated me to work on these harder...
I really want to learn Korean, not so much because of StarCraft, but more because of the language itself, it's such a beautiful language. I'm a big fan of the Korean culture too, so I would love to live there someday ... It's for sure that I will fly there some day ...
Than there are of course all those childish dreams everybody has once in his life ... f.e. to be a (real) Star2 Pro, to have a K-Pop Idol girlfriend and what not ... it's more of the unrealistic kind of dream, but you know ... you only live once, and as it has shown today, this one time maybe isn't as long as you would expect, so of course at least I personally will also work on those childish dreams ... So I can say, that I have at least tried it. |

Chocolate, yeah, America is great (I moved to NYC 2 years ago from France), but it's not that stable and the cost of living when you take everything into account isn't that low either (especially in NYC). Just saying that if you're just looking for a country with great living standards, I think there's a lot better than the US 
I have pretty much the same dream, and I realized the first part with a job that I love that pays good money. I'll wait a few years for the family part though |

Hm... one day, I want to be a total boss. I mean someone who loves what he's does, knows his shit, and is self-confident. I want to be a leading figure in technology and be able to provide a unifying vision for a tech company and inspire others. It would be amazing to be able to be self-employed, confident, happy, and successful.
I'd like to marry a girl who's pretty, smart, and kind (derp the three qualities) but I honestly don't know what she'll be/look like necessarily because despite any preferences at the moment, who knows which person will end up convincing me that "she's the one". It would be nice to marry someone who truly seems meant for me and whatnot 
And I'd like to be in a position to help others and spread kindness and joy to a multitude of people
Just a dream, and not a particularly well-defined one at that, but it's generally what I'd be really happy doing. |

I don't have ambitions. I just want things to seem simpler, and I want to be close to the most beautiful person I know but it can't happen.
My (actual) dreams are usually the same, there's always a girl... my waking dreams, I just wish I could be a better person, and be a person who could do the right thing when it matters, and never hurt me or anyone else again. I want to fix myself and fix the world for the people who matter, but I don't think about it because I know I can't do that and I'm scared of what I'll have to pull upon to fight depressiveness again.
Days are too fucking short, they're so fucking short, I'll always avoid thinking about the future, I can't handle what the end brings.
I guess my dream is to feel right again, or to feel the purity in my alone moments that i could feel as a child.Last edit: 2012-08-24 07:06:44 |

Which countries would you recommend? I will say that living in New York is very expensive when compared to Louisville, where I live, especially when it comes to housing. I think the food is pretty cheap, the wages good, and the opportunity infinite. I know countries like Sweden are supposed to be very nice places to live, but I dislike their social system because with it come very high taxes. Plus, food and general domestic buying power seems to be less there. |

My dream is that either the human race goes extinct, or that it manages to take away its ego through evolution before I pass away.
What do I do to realize this dream? There is no cure. Only time. ;_;~~ |

It's kinda funny, i was listening to a song called "Perfect" by Markus Schulz, where the only lyrics are
"Cause you’re perfect
The way that you are
Perfect like the moon in the stars
And the sun in the sky, getting higher
Even knows when it’s time to surrender" (that's at least what lyricstime.com says, i'm not that good at extracting lyrics from songs ^_^)
But yeah, thats what you are. You are perfect just the way you are! Of course you can't always make the right decision because you make mistakes, but thats what makes you human and you have to accept that some people might get hurt with decisions you make, but that's ok, because everyone gets hurt sometimes. There is no way to get around this. I'm terribly sorry
And i also don't think you can fix yourself. You're not broken, you're just a little damaged by depressions. If you can get rid off them you'll be fine. Unfortunatly, i don't know how i can help you with that, because i don't really know how i got rid off mine (which was like 2 months ago, they just randomly disappeared)
Also, avoiding to think about the future isn't a bad thing. Some people just live the day and get surprised by what's happening tomorrow. For example me: Sometimes i try to imagine what the future holds for me, but i just can't think about anything so i just live this day and look what's happening tomorrow. That's definitly not a bad thing.
And i know, I'm just a stranger on a Website about a game where 3 Races are having big wars, but if you want to talk to someone neutral about your problems you can just message me on TL. I have a lot of friends who were going through depression, not to mention myself, and people say I'm good at listening. Just a small offer

I'd rather see the second thing, but since this probably won't happen because some countries are pretty ignorant and i don't want to say names *cough America cough Kony 2012 video cough* i guess we just have to deal with that. But I'm sure that there is a day where the human race extincts and until that day we can only do one thing:

| My dream would to become a legit pro in sc2. I would have to probably quit my job and play sc2 pretty much non-stop because I'm not naturally gifted. I'd also have to deal with everyone I know asking what the fuck I'm I doing with my life. It's not ideal haha. But being a pro at sc2 is my dream. |

I want my kids to be kind, responsible people. I want to earn enough money to have a nice wake-boarding boat to take out on Utah Lake (a block from my house) after work and to buy an old houseboat and fix it up with my wife and spend a week or two at Lake Powell every year, and rent it out for the rest. I want to be able to ski every other weekend at Alta or Snowbird. I want to do more international travel with my wife and see all the things we haven't seen yet. And of course I'd like to have enough time to play Starcraft regularly and get out of diamond.

| My dream is to fly a World War 2 fighter plane, become a licensed pilot, and to become a Master on the starcraft ladder. I've been saving up money to buy a flight from an orginization that lets you fly a two seat P-51 (although I'd much rather fly an F4U ) And I've been laddering! Just got promoted to Diamond the other day. |

| My dream is to never have any regrets. To drop down dead at any point of any day and look back and say "well, I may not have done everything I wanted to, finished everything I started but damn it was a good run". Its the best way to live too, I think. |

I want to run into all the pro players I watch now on the ladder at some point and be able to beat them. especially incontrol. I love everything that guy does for the community and I really wanna play him at some point.
Also Ide love to eventually be able to compete in an MLG.
So I think my dream is to be a pro gamerLast edit: 2012-08-24 08:05:06 |
