Everyone has an aim. Different people in the world have different aims. In fact, it is the aim of a person that makes him/her go on and on and on in life, no matter what comes. Our aim encourages us to face all problems courageously and finally achieve our goals. To live our lives fully and make our live worth living we all need an aim. And my aim in life is to become a true human being.

Yes, I know it is surprising. But today people are losing all the humanity they once possessed. People have become greedy and selfish and have no time for others. We are known as the best creation of God but the behaviour we show today is worse than any other creature on earth. People have become so self-centered that they don’t care about others and are willing to cross any boundaries to fulfill their unlimited desires. In this everchanging world, with the development of science and technology, we are losing the humanity within us. Our money-minded brain guides our actions rather than our hearts.

My aim is to bring about change in the minds of people, to bring back the humanity within us that is being killed everyday, at every moment. I want to spread peace and love. My aim is to perform my duties as a human being faithfully and honestly. My aim is to serve not only mankind, but also all the wonderful creations of the Almighty. Our world

needs many more Mother Teresas, Gautam Buddhas and Mahatma Gandhis. And the

best part is that these people lay within us – you and me. I want to wake that person within each of us.

I know I am not a perfect person and that I cannot change this world overnight. But still, I have a hope, a ray of light, to bring change in this world for good. After all, a thousand mile journey starts with a single step and I want to take that step. To start changing the world I have to change myself, I know that. This is my aim in life that keeps me motivated and encourages me to move forward in life, facing all circumstances. And I am sure to have success one day.
