Answer to this question is either too tough or too easy...its like a GK question either u know it or u dont.Just to pass time with a few kids i popped up this quetion amongst them. These were the answers they gave:
I (Age around 16-17 years)-I want a lot of money.
II(Age 13-14 years)- Again Money-according to him money is solution to all problems.
III(Age 11-12 years)-
i)wants a BMW
ii)wants a very beautiful home
iii)wants to drive a bike full speed
IV (Age 7-8 years)-Di mere paas toh sab kuch hai.I want nothing.On a little prodding he goes,I want to come first in my class,ek baar di bas ek baar.
Of all the wants his was the most genuine n honest want. A want which came straight from heart.A want which wasnt just wishful thinking.Whatever we desire in our life comes from the love we have for such thing or person. The deeper the love the stronger the desire.And want is not an end in itself its a means to an end. That little kid probably doesnt know what he actually wants from his life but he surely knows what little thing is most important to him at this age.
Finding a purpose to life,finding that one reason for which we were sent here is as important as breathing.That one work which is not a burden.That one work which we can do throughout life passionately.
Cant think how should i wind up this post but that little kids' innocent words are still making me smile.
