There was a time when I thought that my dreams are just dreams. For example, during my school days, I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. But then I ended up in Engineering course, walking away from my dreams. Most of the time, because I didn’t really enjoy my work as engineer, my mind often wondered around asking will I ever go into teaching and education? Will I ever be having my students someday? Will I ever be marking paper like what my teacher always did last time? I want it! I really want it!
It took courage to let go what I have already had in Engineering and moved into Education, but what made me sure that what I did was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life is: I felt a great amount of satisfaction flooding my life. That time I knew that I have done the right thing that I should have done it long time before, even with certain consequences for leaving engineering without any background in Education Industry.
The book of “The Process of Achieving An Impossible Goal” by James Skinner and Royce Krueger made me realize that METHOD is the most important thing in realizing “impossible dreams”. Practical method will help more than practical goal or practical dream. And the very first thing is WHY do I want that dream? I must know the reason behind my dreams, and from there apply the perfect practical method to start going towards the goal or dream.
After I read this book, it made me think so much about why do I really want it. Is it a really something that I want or just a blast of an interest from my childhood. But then I realize that my dream of becoming a teacher is NEVER perished by time, from my school days to my working life, it is always there, waiting to be fulfilled. The calling from within my heart was never be mute by the great promises of Engineering Industry. To me, I believe these are the signs that I do really dream of it, a confirmation of what do I really want it, and I understand fully WHY did I want it.
I understand why did I want to be teacher. I understand why did I want to leave Engineering and move to Education. It’s because I have the passion and IT IS my calling. That’s my passion and I love it. So far I have taken the first step of the practical method to achieve what I want, which was quitting Engineering and really moved! Now, I even have my own students, step by step what I want has become true. And there are more to achieve by applying the perfect practical method. The next practical method will be guiding my students to the best of them. I realize my mission, and it is possible to be true!
