Growth is constant in the human lifespan. We grow from stage to stage as a human being.
This used to surprise me whenever my uncle asked me, what class are you now, after answering them; their response was usually you have already finished your academics. Their response sounds ridiculous to me considering the stage of life that he is at the moment.

Whenever I saw those little children that I used to carry when they were still infants after I had left the house for some time, I was amazed to see them because of their growth.

Reflecting back on the old good memories as a young child, it was a good and great moment that everyone enjoyed as a young child.
Every time we have an occasion in the family or, if it is the festival period, there are specific types of clothes that our parents usually buy for all of us at that time. It was very funny how the tailor would make your Ankara trousers at that time so big that they could contain two legs. At this time, no one will laugh at you even with the style of your clothes. Compared to now that we have grown up and we compete in the kind of life that we live and the clothes we wear, all because we have matured enough to do those things.

We usually gather together to gist and play as little children whenever we have the time to do so. At this moment, everyone will be saying their wishes, and what they wish to become in the future.
There are a lot of good wishes that we all want and pray for when we are young. It is very funny when you hear another person's wishes.
There's no one in life, that doesn't want a good thing or a better life in the future.
When we were small, some of us wished to become a lawyer, doctors, nurses, engineers, accountants, footballers, and even politicians. All were good wishes.
While some people's wishes come to fulfillment, and some wishes do not come to fulfillment.
Different factors contributed to the unfulfillment of some people's wishes.
Some of the factors include.
= Lack of proper counseling: Children are supposed to be counseled properly for them to know what it takes to achieve their heart desires, and they're to know all the responsibilities of their desired profession.
= Peer group influence: This is very common among children, at that time when we are young because our friend belongs to a different class; that is when we also change our minds about our desires.
This reminds me of what I used to say when I was young. At that time, I wanted to become a Soldier or a Customs Officer. When I grew up and understood what the work entails, I realized that it was not work that I could do.
As a child then, everything that I wished for had not been achieved yet. I believe that, with hard work and consistency, everything I wished for will be achieved in a short time.
