So, that's 10 dreams. Try and write your 101 dreams. I bet you that it's god damn hard to even list it down. Above are just some of my 101 dreams that I wished to achieved. 

Why do we have to have dreams? Why is it important to dream?

I wanna share with you my life experience about dream. How I dream to be someone very successful before. But remember... dreams without goals is just dreams (quote Denzel Washington). I failed. I failed big. I lost hope. I lost my mission. I lost my vision. I lost my dreams. It was painful experience but I hope that some small percentage of my readers can relate to it and will benefit from this story.

The story starts when I was 15 and clueless. I was introduced to this weird job called Actuary. It does sound like a rocket science. But what interest me in this job was the money. Statistics shows that Actuary is the best job in the US and they earned a minimum of USD 150k per year (i.e. 12,500 per month) and up to millions per year. That is just an awesome figure to start with. I was immediately fall in love. I start to find out what this career is all about, what to study & where to study. I found out that to be able to achieve that kind of salary, I have to work in the US because Malaysia won't pay that much. I started to study hard for my PMR so that I could go to boarding school. Why do I want to go to boarding school? Because someone told me that it is easier to get scholarship to go overseas if you're from a boarding school. Then, I started to look into the subject that it requires to be good at. Actuary requires you to be very good at mathematics. I suck at math but to become who I want to become, I just have to do it. I learned math and along the way I become very good at it.

So then comes SPM and I did score for my math. I also scored on other science subjects. I was happy to receive my results even though it was not the best results. Hunts for Actuarial Science major starts. I started looking here and there for the course. Public and private universities. Going abroad was also part of the search.

Long story short, I got into KDU College and took American Degree Program. That enable me to do my Actuarial Science study here in Malaysia and continue and graduate in the USA.

Dream is catching up.

Those days, I feel that I was on top of the world. I feel that I can achieve anything. Just a few steps away from my dream job and I'm there.

BUT.... (yes, there's always a BIG BUT)

In the US, I forgot my main purpose to be there. Not entirely forget but I was more distracted from my dreams. I didn't focus to become an Actuary like I used to in school. I didn't focus on how to achieve my dream career. I lost focus on my BIG WHY I'm in the US. Why I'm doing this? For whom do I do this? I lost track. I lost direction. I lost hope. And finally, I lost my dream.

So, dream catch me my ass.

I graduated with Actuarial Science degree but I failed my Actuarial Professional Exams. That was a big problem because to become an Actuary, you'll need to pass your Actuarial Professional Exams. Bummer.

Life starts to fall apart from there. I couldn't get a job. I failed in my relationship back then (Not marriage thank god). While most of my friends got a big job with the big companies, I hardly got a stable job. Shifting jobs here and there just to make ends meet. It was a disaster. That moment, I felt like a sole loser who failed in his life at 23.

2017 was my turnaround year even though it was the worst financial year for my company. Well, I got to give credit to my mentor, Dr Azizan Osman who become the person who show me the path. He opens up the direction and light up the tunnel for me. I re-create my dreams. I start to have dreams again. I start to have things that I want to achieve in life. I start to have a BIG WHY on why I want to achieve what I want to achieve. 

A year has past by and I want to share some miracle that had happened to me for the past 1 year.

1) I dream of running a business that is free from uncertainty of income due to project related base

-> I got into a cosmetics business with my wife.

2) I dream of having a certain amount of savings in my Tabung Haji

-> I managed to achieved the numbers.

3) I dream of having a happier and closer family bond.

-> I managed to sit down with my parents and have a heart to heart talk with them. We all cried our eyes out.. (my dad didn't. he's one tough dad) But damn, it feels good.

4) I dream of having a big company that is able to be listed in stock market.

-> Well, have not reach there yet but I know how to get there now. 

5) I dream of going for a holiday trip with my family

-> We got New York.

It's amazing how your dreams can come true when you start dreaming. But remember what Denzel Washington says... 

Dream without goal is just dreams. 

An they ultimately fuel disappointment. 

So have DREAMS... have GOALS. 

Life goals. Yearly goals. Monthly goals. Daily goals.

You have to work at it everyday. You have to plan everyday.

"We don't plan to fail. We failed to plan"
