Children are big dreamers. Curiosity, ambition and fantasy are dominant ingredients of their formative years. Psychiatry tells us that adolescence marks the beginning development of a more complex thinking process including idealistic thought and reasoning. However an individual’s desire to embrace bravery, courage and sheer guts while discounting the reality of danger is not ordinary or formulaic. Could this predisposition of extreme valor be inherent in their DNA even from conception?

So it is with any choice in life, one wonders at what stage of development a clear and definite vocational decision or resolution for a career path becomes fixed.
