At the company I work for
Early this year sales were low and employees were leaving the company in droves. The bosses realised that morale and sales needed raising and arranged for a staff meeting including some motivational specialist.

One of the first exercises was for the employees to write 3 of their life’s ambitions onto some paper, hand it all in to the front and Mr. expert would write them down on the board (The bloke was going to use them as a tedious link to the next part of his seminar – showing how he could help us achieve those dreams) What he didn’t count on was someone with the brain of a 5 year old being in the group (me).

The first few were pretty ordinary (I want more money and more time doing what I want etc etc) then he opened mine.

Mr. Expert : Ok here we have someone who wants to……..punch out a dinosaur, live in boulder hill and hopefully one day develop good superpowers. Who wrote this?
(I stick my hand up)
Mr. Expert: Why did you write this?
Mon :What…I don’t want to end up like Aquaman, that bloke can swim well and talks to fish.
Expert Bloke: Erm… well (reads gawdy name badge with my name on) Mon, today I will teach you the superpower of selling the business to other firms!
Mon (Mutters): I said good super powers, I’d rather be Aquaman than have the power to sell…

Bah I’ve upset myself now. Anyone who wants to know what boulder hill is-it’s the HQ for the good guys in the cartoon M.A.S.K

That seems like a perfectly reasonable set of goals to me.
