What do you want to become when you become big?

This was a question we were often asked when we were children - What do you want to be when you become big (euphemism for grow-up).  I doubt if anyone asks this to kids these days, but hey people asked us and at various ages, my answers were - Scientist, Navy officer, Yogi. And then reality set in and we went through the grind of qualifications.  Now after all these years of experience, what do I want to be? Or what do I want to do?  One possible answer is to be a "master" at something. Really good at something. So good that you are sought after, wanted.  I see some practitioners continue this journey well into their 90s (yes, not a typo) and that is awe inspiring. My own TA teacher, PK Saru, was a master of her craft. And there are many. So, this is a worthy goal.
