Someone: YES!!!

Me: What is that you want?

Someone; Hmm gimme a sec. I want a six pack of beer, some hot chicken wings and one beautiful....

Me: Stop!!!

Just like someone in the above conversation, anyone in this world would probably  think of similar things when posed to such a question. But its not about the materialistic things, the above title belong to. Its the real feeling generated inside any human being when he thinks outside the shell. Knowing what you want is not that easy as someone in the above conversation took a second to think and tell what he wants. In fact he didn't tell me what he wants, he just told me what he wants to get. But once someone knows what he really wants, its not a big deal to get what he wants.

It is this confusion most of us are subjected to. We always try to get what we want, but never try to really know what we want. Getting what you want is just like crossing an intersection on the road but not knowing exactly where to go, but whereas knowing what you want is something like trying to know your destination. Its appreciable even if you at least know want you want to get. There are many out there who don't  even know what are they doing and for whom. And when you try to analyse why many people are unhappy, you will come to know that they really don't know what they want. 

For example, we guys obtained degree's  for some so called field of study. Many were forced to choose the field by their parents. I am not blaming parents here.  Some did it on their own. And I am one of them. I did my bachelors in mechanical engineering. I chose it. My parents got nothing to do with it. But why I opted it. It was because I was good at some fine arts like drawing and sketching. Since I was good at putting my thoughts on a paper with a pencil. I thought that I would also be good in creating designs, not necessarily automobiles but something of that kind. I interpreted it with a technical mind. Then I came to know that I was nowhere when I finished my course and obtained the degree. And once again I am not blaming my course or my field or my college. It was my decision and I wrongly interpreted it. But somehow I succeeded in completing it. 

It took me almost an year to know what i really want. And what i really want would be my next post.
