Dream...Dream Big, DDRREEAAMM Biggg!!!

Yesterday, I was made chief guest in the CSD. It felt weird to be a guest in the same environs which (collectively) we had practically ruled a few years ago...! Yeah, quite a few years ago, 18 years to be precise...!
The new 'kids' who are studying for a Master's Degree in Computer Science were looking absolutely starry eyed, and I was supposed to share some 'secrets of success' with them. Suddenly, I realized that I was already successful..! Ohhh! Woww, I never knew that! But THEY thought I had succeeded. Actually, success is a very personal thing, and I don't believe that there are any SECRETS about it. The moment one thinks they are successful, they stop learning, and hence I never knew I was successful, though I have already crossed many social and other parameters of success.
In the function, I had to deliver a thought-provoking speech and a technical session on ITSM.

The only thought I shared with them was this: Dream, Dreeaaam! Drrreeaammm Bigggg!!!
Dreams are not something which you get by making extra efforts or more work..! To qualify as a DREAM, the target has to be Un-Achievable on the day you start..! Then you work towards the dream and gradually MAKE it happen.
Can you dream? What is your biggest dream? Come on, tell me..!
