"The Dream job. Its not something that I can duly define.
But what I can say is this:
I think that it is exceptionally important to have a major goal for your life.
To have a clear picture in your mind of how you want your life to progress.
To have one long term objective that supersedes all others.
And every major move you make in your life, every major career decision you make should be done with your ultimate goal in mind.
