We all have dreams, deep inside... those moments when we take a voyage in our imagination, into a world where everything was possible, a world where fear is a strange concept, limits are non-existent and we are at peace with ourselves.
How come our dreams remain just those dreams? Why are we stuck in jobs we hate, held bound by the fear of the unknown, if we dare to stand up and walk away?
Every new day seems to take us farther away from our dream. Sometimes we get so caught up in the rat race; our dreams seem like a distant memory. Little by little we let our dreams die.
How come our biggest dreams don' t come true? The answer is not a profound revelation from the east, culled from wisdom of the ancients. It is so simple; you begin to wonder why it skipped you all these years.
Our dreams simply don' t come true because we keep on sleeping after dreaming. We don' t wake up, get out of bed, and do something about it. The best dreams come to pass when you are awake.
Sometimes we actually wake up and take one giant leap for mankind. Then we plummet back to earth, lick our wounds, and convince ourselves that it is not feasible and promptly go back to sleep. Sometimes we give it a second or third shot, before we say goodbye and return to Status Quo Avenue. Well, we gave our best shot...
The only way our dreams can come true, is when we start doing something about it. Start with a baby step, one tiny step after another. With time, you will be amazed by how far you had gone. The more steps you take in the direction of your dreams, the bolder you become. Soon you start seeing shafts of light at the end of the tunnel. The closer you get, the more feasible it becomes. Gradually, your fears begin to ebb away. Taking the first step is a scary business. You can determine the magnitude and direction of that first step. Some folks take the bull by the horn, quit their day jobs, and go for it. Others keep their day jobs, and moonlight at sun down, till they get to the point they can comfortably fire their boss. For others still, it means a change of career.
Whichever route you take to the land of your dreams, the starting point is waking up, and doing something. Then keep on keeping on. It is only a matter of time. You will get there.
你最渴望的梦想怎么样了？假如你一定能成功的话，你敢于尝试些什么呢？
我们都有梦想，深深地埋藏于心底。我们遨游在想象的世界里，进入一个万事皆有可能的世界。在这个世界里，恐惧变成了一个奇怪的概念，那里没有限制，人人内心平和。
为什么我们的梦想依旧仅仅是梦想呢？假如我们勇敢地站起来走开，我们又怎么会陷在自己痛恨的工作中，被没来由的恐惧束缚呢？
每个全新的一天都好像让我们距离梦想越来越远。有时我们为激烈的竞争所困扰，有时梦想看起来似乎是一段遥远的记忆。慢慢地，我们让自己的梦想破灭了。
我们最大的梦想没有实现的原因是什么？答案不是从东方古人的智慧中领悟出的深刻启示。它非常简单，你甚至开始思考，为什么多年以来，自己都没有注意到。
我们的梦想没有实现的原因是我们在做梦之后便再次睡去，没有醒来，没有起床，也没有去做些什么。等你醒来时，最好的梦想已经稍纵即逝。
有时我们的确醒来了，而且为全人类迈出了一大步。随后，我们摔倒在地，舔着伤口，对自己说这是不可行的，没过多久便又开始睡觉。有时我们也作了一两次尝试，但还是很快就放弃并满足于现状了。那么，我们真的尽力了吗？
