Our desires and our opportunities. Do they match? Not always. Every person has a choice - to be happy with what you have or get something more. Of course, to achieve our desires often need to make an effort. But without hard work nothing happens. Desire is our goal, to achieve it - we do something every day. Of course, we have not only primitive desires, such as food, clothing, but there are more global - change work, travel, buying a car. I've noticed, that when it comes to simple desires, I'm often willing to save. For example, if I need a jacket, I know the amount of money I'm willing to spend on it. If I find a jacket, that I like, but it will be expensive - I will not buy it, because I think it is a waste of money. But when it comes to my daughter's needs, my common sense sometimes denies me. When I see a beautiful dress for her, I'm ready to buy, even if I understand, that I can buy another and cheaper. We bought her a nice bed, a big toy house, a scooter, a bicycle. In general, she has everything... I can tell, that I at her age didn't have much of what she has now. Perhaps, I embody my childhood dreams, when I decorate it room in pink color, buying bed in the form of toy house. My childhood was happy, but I also remember, how I always wanted a barbie toy house and roller skates. But the parents could not do I buy them, because barbies toy house and roller skates were expensive, real expensive and during my childhood in my town were not so many places to roller skate. Honestly, I don't know, what's better. Not to have something and to understand the value of things, to cherish her, to take care of. Or have everything and not appreciate it. I hope, that our daughter will understand, that all her things are not taken out of the air, that parents work hard and deny themselves something to buy something for her.
