One Wish in Life: a Brief Reflection

It is very clear that everyone has wants, desires and wishes. Their wishes might be to obtain things, that which is very common; or to be with a special person, for the helpless romantics; or for unbelievable stuffs which include time travelling gadgets, special powers and the Elixir of Life.
