i told my counselor that i wanted to be an astronaut when i grew up
he thought i was joking and said 'what are you 4'
(by the way the guy also got fired since he was just a failure at his job)
who else dreams of being an astronaut?

Being an astronaut is not is easy as it may seem. It's perhaps one of the worlds hardest career to obtain. You have to be the best of the best in science, math, and engineering. I would say that 99% of us who thrive for that career would fail at the first few levels.

but i bet, a hundred percent of those who become astronaut, dreamed about becoming one.
