George Eliot, the well known novelist quoted,

“It seems to me we can never give up longing and
wishing while we are still alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger for them.”

As they say, it is never too late to make wishes! So, never stop making wishes! As humans, we understand and
appreciate things better than the other beings
and whenever we see something beautiful and
captivating, we desire to possess it. It is a
natural feeling of want, which is what we call a
‘wish’. From children to old people, everyone
has wishes. Kids are taught to ‘make a wish’. It is a very positive feeling that they get when they
make a wish. It’s like elation if your wish comes true.

Wishes may be small or enormous, one that
lasts for a few minutes or one that we want with
us forever; they may be realistic or they may be
far-fetched fantasies! Whatever it is, wishes and
aspirations are the ones that keeps humans
going! For instance, you work because you wish
to earn for a better living. Everyone has
aspirations in life. They give the meaning and
purpose to our life. Achieving what we wish for,
and getting ultimate happiness therein, is what
life is all about.

But there is one thing we need to keep in mind.
Greed is the root cause of many problems.
Expecting too much out of life will lead you to
get disappointed. Greed also makes you very
selfish. Whatever we wish for, we must
remember that it should not harm our fellow
beings. Moving on, this article talks about ten
common desires of every human being. In this
list, few are not possible to attain, yet they fall in the ‘most wished’ category.

10. TO POSSESS THE RICHES

Money is the buzzword today! It has been, since
ages, since the time it was first used. You cannot
lead a decent living without earning money. It is
every human’s desire to be in possession of the
riches: to live in a mansion, to live a luxurious
life, like an emperor. When you are rich, you
can get want you want at the clap of your hands! Being rich will make one self-reliant, fearless and will boost the self-esteem. Just imagine owning your favourite sports car and zooming away in it! Imagine wearing your favourite expensive designer gown to a party! Makes you want to get rich, right?

9. TO TRAVEL THE WORLD

“The world is a book and those who do not
travel, read only one page.” How true! To travel
this whole, wide world has been on the wish list
of too many people! In fact, it is on the bucket
list of many globetrotters. It is such a great
feeling, to go to different places in the world,
meet new people, experience different cuisines
and cultures and bring back many memories!
Going a step further, there are many who want
to travel into outer space too, to see what it is
like, outside of planet earth.

8. TO BE FAMOUS

If you ask children ”What do you want to be
when you grow up?” many of them will probably
say, “I want to be famous!” It is every child’s and teenager’s dream to become a celebrity. The
glamour, the paparazzi, the larger-than-life
image, the recognition, the money and the
lifestyle are just too good to imagine! The best
part is, if you are famous, you are many
people’s idol, their rolemodel. What more could
you ask for?

7. TO FALL IN TRUE LOVE!

True love is rare! It happens but once in a
lifetime. The feeling of falling in love is ecstatic.
You feel euphoric if you tie the knot with your
soul mate. Love makes you a better person and
brings out the best in you. Finding your other
half on this planet of billions is not going to
come about easily. Everyone wants to marry the
one they love and spend their lives with them.
As they say, love makes the world a better place
to live!

6. TO BE DISEASE-FREE and HEALTHY

Being healthy is everything! If health is lost, it’s
as if everything is lost, for health is a pre-
requisite for our development, happiness and
success. Nobody wants to be down with any
kind of illness or disease. A disease is like a
curse. It does not let you do what you want to
do, peacefully. But health is not just the absence
of disease. It is the overall physical and mental
well being. The mind is equally important, just
as the body. Having good health is like a
blessing, a boon. You can accomplish whatever
you want to! The quality of one’s life increases
with good health.

5. TO NEVER LOSE LOVED ONES

Family comes first! Being near loved ones is one
of the best things in life. To be surrounded by a
loving family is an aspiration of every human.
Family gives you everything in life: comfort, lots
of love and strength. In a family, you have a
sense of belonging and feel protected. A family
is like the base of your building. It is like a
supporting pillar. One cannot imagine the pain
of losing loved ones. Even though death is
inevitable, we always hope that we live with our
blood relations forever, for family bonding is so
special to each one of us!

4. TO GO BACK IN TIME

Nostalgia is not a new feeling. Nostalgia of
people and places. As time passes by and things
change, we have a tendency to want things as
they were. We get attached to certain people
and we want them back in our lives. When we
graduate from our school or college, we want to
go back there once again. Adults want to go
back and live their childhood. Change is but
inevitable! No one’s life is perfect. If you have
made few mistakes, you would want to go back
in time and do it right! But unfortunately, going
back in time is impossible.

3. TO BECOME IMMORTAL

Even though it is a fact that death is certain,
immortality is something most people wish for!
“I want to live longer! I don’t want to die!” they
say! One life is not enough to do all the things,
to meet all the people and to see all the places
you want to. The world is just too vast.
Sometimes, you realize that life is so beautiful
and wish that it never ends. But, the curtains
have to close one day! The stage is not yours
forever. Actors come and go.

2. TO BE EXTREMELY HAPPY and SATISFIED

Happiness, the most elusive wish on anyone’s
wish list! Ironical, but true. You cannot go after
happiness. It should come to you and it will, if
you stop searching desperately for it. It comes
when you feel content about everything. It is the
state of complete psychological well being.
Everyone wants to be happy and satisfied. It is
the ultimate goal of life. When you are happy,
everything seems just right. Your life seems
perfect. The world looks beautiful and there is a
positive aura in you. Everyone wants to
experience this.

1. TO STAY YOUNG FOREVER!

I am reminded of Jay Z’s song, “Forever Young”!
As we grow older, we want to become younger!
Who wouldn´t like to be forever young and
enjoy life without responsibilities? Being young
is all about being energetic and passionate. You
have all the time in the world to go after your
dreams. Youth hood is the best part of life. It is
full of fun! The verve and the zeal, so full of life!
Your beauty is at its peak, when you are in your
twenties. Nobody wants to grow old and lose
that beauty. But then again, we cannot change nature’s way. As long as we are young at heart, we never really grow old!

Nah.
