Why Should We Dream?

Dreaming can be defined as the state where we are imagining or fantasizing about something. It usually happens at night while we are sleeping. Everyone dreams. We often dream about some situations in the past, fantasizing about things, imagining that we are the owner of the world, and even things which are impossible.

We can dream all day, it is called day-dreaming. We often day-dream, either we realize it or not. We fantasize about things want, things we could've done in the past, or imagining something impossible.

The dream we are talking about here is a dream of our future, a dream of a future we want. I know that it's ridiculous for a dustman to dream that in the future he would be a billionaire. It seems impossible, but I know some people who got rich in a blink of an eye. Some people in my country suddenly got rich when their children won a competition.

2 principles to choose your dreams:

  1. Don't be afraid to dream as high as you can.
    It is really important to dream. The dreams would motivate us to keep on working towards the goal. If you have a dream, your body will unconsciously do things which help you to reach the goal.

    Lots of people feel that having a really wild dream will hurt them when they couldn't reach their dreams. The higher the dream, it will hurt you more when you fall. This is wrong. Don't be afraid to fall, just dream! A strong person is a person who can get back up after falling down. Don't burden yourself with the failure, turn the failure into something positive, think that the failure means that you need to try again with more effort. The higher dream you have, the more motivation you will have. Motivate yourself with the dream!

  2. Push your dreams to the limits, but not off the limits.
    Dream as high as you can doesn't mean that you can dream for something really impossible. An example: a dustman who wants to be an astronaut. We have limits for our dreams.

    Push our dreams to the limits, but not off the limits. Choose dreams which are impossible to do now, but might come true in the future! Let's put it like this, dream something which has 1% probability of coming true. For example: an ordinary student who wants to be the king of property business. It's really difficult to be a property king, to be a property king, someone has to have some money to buy some properties first and he/she has to have the knowledge. Thus, the ordinary student has to work really hard to be a property king, but it's possible, even though the probability is only 1%.
Have your own dreams! Motivate yourselves, work hard, reach your dreams, and live happily!

Good luck!
