...Never give up on your dreams no matter what people say.An example of this is in the story “A Different Sort of Dream” and it says “Luis was all set to go when he suddenly had an idea. He ran inside and took some sheets of paper from under his bed. He hid them among the peppers”. This is an example because previously his father was upset because he's was dawning and said that drawing would not get money for their family. So he saw a chance to sell some of his drawing when he was going to the market alone. And he took the chance to prove to his father that he can make money from it and become an artist.

...Happiness is never far away, sometimes it appears at times when we least expect it. There are times in life when everything just falls apart and we can do nothing to stop it. We look at all these bad choices and say that they are stupid. Nobody is perfect. Everything happens, everything breaks one time to another. Then there comes a time when we start to dream. We take other paths, there again, it helps us straighten the walls we build. There comes a time where you must choose, Continue or just give up. Many continue, others invent a better life and others leave, they plunge into alcohol, drugs, and eventually find themselves stuck in a worse position. Some of them manage to escape, others get stuck and end up buried alive. The world lives with Hope, dreams and goals. When Hope goes, happiness goes too. As a result, when you stop dreaming, you stop living… Dreams give a certain hope, courage that luck is out there and not everything is black and white. The concept of a dream refers more broadly to the idea of an "imaginary production" or "ideal", which gives us reasons to live and gives us goals and objectives . For example, an athlete could dream of winning a medal in the Olympics. This dreams gives him desire and courage to excel and to he will do every single thing possible to achieve it . In result , he will have a purpose in life. He will Chase after something he really wants. A dream is a world where anything is possible. It’s a world that restores hope...

...I Want to Know … What is Your Dream? Are you willing to lay hold of your dreams? I'm not talking about a wish – a wish is usually only a passing thought that most people never act on. But a dream is something that captures your heart and spirit. It ignites your imagination and fills you with an unquenchable hope. It becomes something you can't easily set aside. Dreams consume your thinking and fuel your excitement and passion. It can happen in a single moment, or it can captivate your thoughts for years. Sometimes when the dream is really big, you embrace it, and somehow it feels like the dream embraces you. Our dreams are often about experiencing a better life, about achieving greater things … they are pictures we have of the future that reveal a part of our lives that will be greater than the past. It takes courage to dream. Any time you dare to dream, there are risks involved. What if it never happens? What if it costs too much? What if people laugh at you? It's hard to hold on to your dreams. It's hard to believe when the world and those around you give you no reason to press in and press on. I've been blessed to realize many dreams in my life and ministry, and I'm convinced that a dream only happens when two things take place: 1. You live with expectant faith that the dream will happen. 2. You refuse to let go of the dream - regardless of the circumstances in your life. When God put the dream in my heart to acquire a sports arena as the location for Lakewood...

...Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True As students many of us are here in pursuit of our dreams in life but some of us may give up when the going gets tough and the challenges seem impossible, but faith in our hearts is the fuel that will propel us through the challenges we face in life prior to realizing our dreams. According to Helen Steiner Rice a well-known poet, faith is a force that is greater than knowledge or power or skill and many defeats turn to triumph if you trust in God’s wisdom and will. On the journey towards our dreams the road may be tough and many of us will be faced with many tasks more than we can bear; challenges like working to support ourselves, raising children in addition to the course workloads may be very daunting and impossible and many may give up their dreams. But always remember the hills ahead are never as steep as they seem and with faith in our hearts and believe in ourselves we can climb until we reach our dreams. I remembered when my husband was preparing for pharmacy school he was a fulltime student, working for 12 hours a day, taking care of the household expenses, and he barely got 5 hours of sleep a day but despite the challenges he never gave up his dream of becoming a pharmacist. He was relentless in his pursuit of his dream through believe in himself and faith in God; and now he is a practicing pharmacist. As many of us are pursuing our dreams we may be confronted with many challenges, which may abort our dreams if we give up, but see...

...family bonds and held on to a dream that she longed for. "The Dreamer" was initially directed at women, because women would find Díaz’s mother empowering. The audience grew as the story was shared more and more, anyone who has ever had a dream was reading it. This essay gives readers reinforcement that they are not alone overcoming any powerful setbacks they might have in achieving their own dreams. Díaz told his mother’s story of the struggles of living in a third world country, abuse that restrained her, and fate that opened the doors to a world of opportunity on the path to achieving her dream to become an educated nurse in the Dominican Republic. Díaz’s mother didn’t reach her initial dream, but she didn’t give up until she could present her kids with opportunities to achieve their dreams. The Dominican girl, Díaz’s mother, was never meant to leave the mountain she lived on. She was expected “to work on the family farm until she died or was married off” (Díaz 128). During her work on the farm, she was the one who tended to illness. Her grandmother did not like the idea of education, she insisted that “she stay on the farm, that she stay a mule” (Díaz 129). Díaz’s mother longed for an education more than anything. She wanted out of the life she knew. She wanted it so desperately that “she got down on her knees beside a stagnant puddle of water, put her mouth in it and drank deeply” (Díaz 129). I have learned that pursuing your own dream is important, no one else can tell...

...In the two passages “Red Cranes” and “The Firefly Hunt” the two main characters in the passages, have certain similarities, but authors develop their characters in very different ways.

People who view this image can simply look past its meaning and just view it as a girl standing on a stage. You have to be focused on its focal point and look past the girl and read the message the photographer is making. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For instance, in this picture a little girl is in an auditorium by herself with a spotlight on her. The child is smiling, which expresses that she is happy and she is amazed of what she is seeing. I view this image as the child thinking about her future of how she plans to perform on the stage. This...

...A Safe Player or A Passionate Dreamer? The Choice Is Yours By Dishi Solanki: Life does not give you what you deserve. Life only gives you what you demand ~ Anonymus A year back when I was in India, I too had a dream. Dream of landing in USA, getting my MBA & making a mark at the exact opposite end of the globe. Sure enough, here I am sitting in my desired country doing exactly what I had envisioned. It was not a smooth jog & required dedicated sleepless nights but dream it was which manifested into reality. I have always demanded with my head held high from my favourite pal “Dear Loving God” and he has never let me down! Never beg for what is ours, you and only you can grab it. So, demand and work steadfastly. Before Michelangelo could make impossible possible in his painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he had seen the unseen as a visualization in his mind. No one else saw the impossible dream until it was finished in 1512. My heart bleeds to say that with growing age comes constantly fading credence to dream. We seldom realize the incredible power that we have within us; the power to believe in ourselves & live our visions. Ironically we tend to focus more than needed on the criticism & pessimistic talks pelted on us making us believe in 1000 reasons to not set out fearlessly to achieve the dream that we have. I would like to share the story of 3 Frogs that I read a while back: There was once a bunch of 3 tiny frogs, who arranged a running competition...

...down, I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it’s my turn to leave”, these are the words that the famous rapper and poet, Tupac Shakur once said. He’s referring to life as a game and that we all have to make the best of. As a child everyone has dreams whether its something as realistic as becoming a teacher to something so unrealistic such as living in Narnia.
