Statements from children could be their goals in life

Dreams do not restrict themselves to age limitations: from the moment a mother takes hold of her infant to the moment that infant himself upholds one of his own---the circle remains unquenchable and unending.
The first seed of imagination and desire comes from the source that succeeds most in intriguing children. For example, the sudden booming sound of an airplane flying over the head makes little minds wonder who flies it! Children look with awe and astonishment at the round-about at fairs and wish if they could also build something that could revolve. Thus, pilots are given birth and engineers come into the world.
The lullabies that are sang to them at night and the lady birds that are gifted to them make a great impact on children's thoughts. Children always try to be something whose very existence has intrigued them infinitely and that can earn them fame and appraisal. Compliment is something children cherish for and thus the earning of it works as the primary means for children to thrive for ambitious targets.
Hospital is somewhere where children get jitters and doctors are some people that can make them hysterical. Children dig their faces on their parents' crook of neck while attending for blood tests and swear they would have never hurt people such mercilessly if they were the doctors. Thus this oath leads to determination and this leads to a carrier of serving humanity.
Batman, spiderman, superman and catwoman all are ideals for children---because all these characters do what they want. And currently, space is something that withholds utmost interests of baby astronauts. Space station games, astronomical programmes and UFO stories work as oxygen for these kids. Science fairs are now filled with space linked projects and children twinkle and beam proudly while representing their projects. Ready answers are called out in classes that 'I want mommy and daddy to travel in my shuttle.'
Primary schooling period is one of the most important phases when the very root of becoming something is nurtured inside a child. And thus silly questions and adamant oaths should not be taken merely; they may someday become the reality.
