"I want to serve other people"

As i was fixing my things in my room i was surprised to stumble upon this old piece of paper from high school, i think an output from an activity during career counseling for those in senior year.

Looking at it further, it's both a realization and a reflection of my aspirations. I am so proud of myself that even at the age of 15 i was already having the very essence of my existence embedded in the tapestry of my neurons in making this world a better place to live in by putting into number 1 "I want to serve other people".My chosen fields of study it seems that i haven't indicated psychology or behavioral science on it but still, i am a son of the social sciences and will forever be forever grateful about it :)

On power dreams, I am quite surprised that i wanted to be a political leader because as of now and maybe in a long time I wouldn't want to be one, seeing how our political system works on our country, but why not if the likes of Nelson Mandela, Cory Aquino or even Mahatma Gandhi who were all icons of making this world a better place to live in and in my opinion reached the top of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs by being SELF-ACTUALIZED with what they have done for our world.

Looking at the list made me realize that there's still tons of work, patience and powerdeaming (as i may say) to do to reach the top of my own hierarchy of needs :)
