You have a dream? Then, you just can't sit there, do nothing and wait for the world to turn around. Those were the words I can't forget that my first boss told me. It always keeps me motivated! Since I was still an amateur last 2008-2009, I always get sleepy during working hours because I find it so boring. That's why my boss that time scold me but I'm thankful he did that, it wake me up. Its true. If we have dreams/ambitions, we can't just sleep, dream and do nothing. For our dreams and ambitions to come true, we should work hard and put some dedication in it. You will see what will it make you when you just don't dream. You can dream, that's normal, but put some hard work in it so it won't just stay as a dream. Its a waste that I have to resign on that first job I had before for some family problems and I gotta leave the place! I'm still thankful though. That first job, first boss has told me a lot of things in life. So. Don't just dream, my dear friends.. Let's do some work and don't let your dreams stay as a dream. good luck to one and all!

One of my friend, a marketing executive, used to say, and in his speech somewhere he mention about the same fact. Normally we sees dream while we are in sleep. But the real dream is a dream that come in our mind when we awake. So, the dream that we have whenver we awake, will get its proper shape and fragrance whenever we cooperate with our dreams. May be little, but whenever we try to reshap our dream to reality, there comes the real dram flowered... Thank-s

Yes, I got what you mean. Surprisingly, even I know what reminded you to say these words. Because, majority of the people goes in the opposite and even ruin the spirit in the later part of their life. However, the people who has a decent heritage and best thinking power with a timely update will never do it. Sad to say, our coming generation don't have any such nice qualities, where as they can easily can achieve it. But unfortunate, they never do it and they are always in the mid of the aboundance and ruin themselves and they only realise the real fact when they are at the off times, but the time may be too late to identify them. But all those fortunate will realise and we are really need to appreciate them who really reaches their drams with respective care and attention. Thank-s

True! :) We should not only reshape ourselves upon reaching our dreams/ambitions, we should also discipline ourselves in some ways. There are other people who reached their dreams but their personality changes (some in a good way and some in the opposite!) I remember the saying: Keep reaching for the stars, but keep your feet in the ground.

Many people dream to be in a great, and has potential to achieve his ambitions. But if those dreams remained in the field of fiction, there will never be achieved. In order to achieve our dreams on the ground, we must work with determination and hard.

Yes, you should work hard if you want your dreams to become true... But very often people strive for their dreams and unfortunately nothing good can be done.I do not want to sound pessimistic but you need also luck sometimes besides effords so as to achieve your goals and especially if you have very high expectations for ex. high working positions and fame.

Yes.. work for what you need and what you want. In this world, you can only depend in yourself. And yes, probably... with luck you will become more successful! But, let's not forget the one who created us. Without him, we are not here in this world!

hi edss Your boss said something really inspiring even to me reading this. I love to write and want to write a semi biography but I am too old now I think but hearing that makes me want to pick up my pen and start writing again.Can an elderly lady get something published like that?ph I would really love to try. They say Grandma Moses was elderly when she painted and her paintings were well received too. A dream has to have a foundation to become real.

Oh. Hatley, upon reaching for dreams, there's no age limit in it. You can write anything you like and try submitting it in some publishing house.. Or better yet, we build our own publishing house. HAHAHAHA! I've been dreaming to have that in the upcoming days. May God guide me! Try to write my dear and don't lose hope!

yes my friend you need hard work and great efforts to achieve your dreams in life, only dreaming doesn't help. well just imagine if sachin tendulkar had just dreamed of becoming a future best cricket player and not done any hard work for that, would he be the great sachin tendulkar......same with shah rukh khan and many other people of the world. so believe in your dreams and do hard work to get them fulfilled.

Of course, the world wouldn't notice them if they didn't put so much effort for that. Dreams, hard work, effort, dedication, determination and etc. should be a combination for everyone of us to reach our dreams. I think its the formula!

Thanks edss17 for your nice reminder to every one. Every body has dream in life. You can not reach the dream by sleeping. We must do what we want to reach what we want. Because as i know we are born to make a good dreams of life. If you fail in this world because of not doing, and you will die as a poor is your sin.

Its actually not a sin (I think). There are people who are happy of what they are and what they have, so I think it is not a sin to stay poor. But, if you have big dreams, I think we really should work on that. We shouldn't rely on others.

HAHA! This just made me laugh big time! :) Its up to you if you believe your dream is true. But, that is not the kind of dream I'm trying to say here. Its the ambitions you have in your life. I mean, what would you want to be? For example, you want to be a doctor... Will you be a doctor if you won't do anything?

No food for a lazy man,It is a very good thing to have a dream,but what are you doing to make your dream a reality? Remember that to be a man is not a day job and that a road to success is not straight, i mean there will always be a lot of distraction from friends,family, the financial aspect,At times failure can even beep to tell you that you can not do it,but you are the only one that knows what you want then go for it with action Work towards it and always remember that an hungry man is an angry man,Act like an hungry man to make you fulfill,be thirsty of making your dream a reality,be strong and work hard,try more. Like a story of a poor gal from a very humble home, she desire to go to University but everything that surrounds her proved her to be a failure,All because she understand her dream, even when people tell her to her face that no,where will she get the money to do that? She said she will get it, she was given different kind of insulting names such as Miss beggar,she went to the extent of doing an house help because there is no job in her Country, she worked very hard,today she is a fresh graduate, She had her dream fulfill by travelling abroad for he bachelor programme,Although it wasn't easy from beginning to the end,at the end of the day, she got her dream fulfilled. Go to the ant you sluggard consider its ways and be wise.

That's true. There will always be a distraction for us upon reaching our dreams.. But its up to us on how we handle it. And yes, it is always hard at the beginning until the end.. But at least, you will be proud of yourself despite every hardships you've been through, you still survived (That is if you will work hard.)
