For me, no matter how hard it seems to achieve what you dream for, as long as you live, don't ever give up. Dreams serves as inspiration to strive what really want for in our life. Giving it up meand you're giving up the chance of make it happen. There 's may blows in life that we may receive but that suppose to make us stronger in life.

Giving up on dreams could be devastating on one's feelings. But try to take a second look on things. Maybe, it's not giving up at all. Maybe it's just redirecting your plans. Remember that " To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose". If you can't make it now, then maybe a couple of years later. If it never happens, then it was not meant to be.

Dreams are not wishes of achieving the impossible . Dreaming for what a job you want to do must be realistic, dreams that are seasoned with realism. I have always dreamed of becoming a fighter jet pilot since I spent my childhood in an air force base. After graduating from high school, I found out that my eye sight is poor that will disqualify me from applying. So I was left with no other choice but give up.
That being said, some dreams are realistic but can't be achieved in a short time frame. Few failures are not reason enough to give them up. If giving up is always the attitude everytime a failure is encountered, we will end up not accomplishing anything at all. If you believe your dream is realistic enough, don't throw in the towel just yet.
cheers.

Impossible and unrealistic dreams that are really cannot achieve by yourself are worth giving-up. What are they? reaching the stars, marrying your favorite actor/actress are some of them. Take time to assess yourself if the dream you want is truly achievable only your current status. You cannot dream of being the next president if you haven't learn to read and write, you cannot reach the stars if you're more than 6 feet tall. Think about it for a moment.
But thats only my idea.

feeling of fulfillment is our greatest achievement in life, just keep on dreaming and you have to work hard on it to get it...sometimes we need to do some sacrifices to have it done..but never stop dreaming and make it happen...
