I was just wondering what my fellow fans wanna do with their lives in the grand scheme of things as my goal is rather wide ranging and at the rate I am going it will come to fruition in the next 20-30 years at the earliest (I wanna save enough money to form my own animation studio on top of working as an architect). with the interesting personalities on the site i'm quite curious.
What are your life goals?

Wow, that's a pretty great ambition you've got there Daichi!
My goal or life ambition is pretty vague to be honest. I know I want to be in a position where I am helping people, this is vital to me. And when I say helping, I mean in a very direct and tangible way, working with people. This is essential for me, and I would like to be able to make a living doing so. I think I actually do (or more precisely-will) have a lot to offer. I could actually be more specific with myself about what I could do, but I don't think that would be a particularly helpful right now, I think it's better for me just to go along the path just because I know that it's good for me, rather than thinking about making a living off of it before that's even realistic.
So yeah I also want to study Japanese at university. To be honest, I don't even know how this part fit's into some grand scheme, I'm just doing it because it interests me purely and simply. I've studied different things in the past that were more vocational but which my heart was never in, so it never went well. That's not to say I'm not constantly thinking about how a qualification in Japanese could be of use to me, as I am every day. It's just I'm following my slightly irrational gut feeling with this, more than anything else. I just don't care about what anyone thinks anymore lol.
So yeah, ultimately I would like to combine my fairly distinctive skillset together to provide a service which will be of benefit to many people.

I'd like to work as a video editor for a broadcast company.
Failing that, a steady full-time job with a wife and kids, and with the rest of my family enjoying good health.

Having a stable income that allows me to do whatever I want within reason.

I'm one of those people that don't really have an overlying goal, I'm still working it out, although I do want to get an IT career on track.
Personal ambitions though are as simple as having a job that affords me to live comfortably, and if I happen to meet a nice other half along the way then awesome. I have no idea if I'd make a good dad or not, but a few people I know seem to think so (no idea why haha)
I also have a few scenario/universe ideas I'd quite like to translate into games/books one day, but that's a whole different level of pipedream, especially after my last project went down

I'm fine with the above.
So it seems you mostly just want stable lives then. Understandable but for me i want to use the money i make being an architect to open an animation studio and basically just make movies or series based on what i like (like for example Psyren) and hopefully get to work with animators and directors over in japan i admire.

Seconded. I have simple pleasures. I do sometimes wonder if maybe I should try and make something of my artistic talent, but artists of pretty much anything HAVE to draw for a living, I'm not sure I'd enjoy that, I only really like to draw when the mood takes me. I could never be a comic artist or the like. Concept designer might be interesting but there's a level of technical skill required which I'm pretty sure I don't have the patience for.
I've ultimately experienced enough positive things in my life already that were I to die tomorrow I would not have any real regrets (beyond not living longer
)My biggest ambition is to make sure that the band that I'm curently in takes off, along with finishing College and (finally) getting into Uni to study Music Production, maybe own my own recording studio while I'm at it too and help out the local music scene.

Oh Lord! i couldnt even get past 2 hours of 1,2,3,4 and 5 (managed to get past 10 hours of 13 before my anus started bleeding). That seems to be an impossible task you've set yourself :roll:
Haha! I've already done 7, and for a lot of the other games (except 12) I've got some groundwork done, although for some of them I might start over, I find them all to be fun in their own way.daichi383 said:
Everyone else has some pretty inspirational dreams here too, just to let you guys know.

Amusing film, but in all seriousness a sound enough attitude to my mind. The experienced fulfilment / disappointment ratio must determine people's attitudes to aims and goals. If someone has experienced mainly positive outcomes of their efforts to achieve their aims in the past, they're more likely to have a positive view of goal-setting going into the future. The opposite is also true. Those who experience more success seem to have an infinite capacity for encouraging those who experience nothing but failure to keep trying, but that does perhaps seem a little like badger baiting.memorium said:
