I'm going to twist it around a bit and tell you what I've wanted out of life. Over the years, I've had several different answers: 1) 1992 - I want to work outside, where I can get fresh air and exercise. I worked on water pipelines in Griffith Park, for the City of Los Angeles 2) 1995 - I want to be the hottest DJ on Los Angeles Part-time job DJ'ing in several Hollywood nightclubs. 3) 2000 - I want to build the next hot app. for a dot com startup, and become a millionaire. I built the app. It became hot and got sold. I didn't become a millionaire. 4) 2002 - I want a job. Lead developer for an entertainment company. 5) 2004 - I want to build something significant. Development manager for a pharmaceutical company. 6) Today - I want to enjoy life Team lead for a large professional services company. I have found that the bigger picture has become much more important to me lately. Sure, I have the usual problems and frustrations at work. But I don't take them personally anymore. I would rather focus my attention on more enjoyable things, like where I'm going this weekend, or anticipating the delivery of a box of my favorite cigars.
