We Need Dreams
佚名 / Anonymous
We all want to believe that we are capable of great feats， of reaching our fullest potential. We need dreams. They give us a vision of a better future. They nourish our spirit； they represent possibility even then we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers. Dreamers are not content with being merely mediocre， because no one ever dreams of going halfway.
When we were little kids， we didn't dream of a life of struggle and frustration. We dreamed of doing something big and splashy， something significant. We dreamed big.
We know now that we have to put in the effort to reach our dreams， but the tough part is that most of us don't know where to start working. We might have every intention of becoming Vice President in 5 years or running across the finish line in a marathon or completing the novel we started years ago. But often we have no idea how to translate these dreams into actions.
In order to make real steps toward fulfilling our ultimate， big， splashy dreams， we have to start with concrete objective. These are our goals.
我們都相信自己有成就偉業的能力，能發揮出自己的最大潛能。我們需要夢想，它會給我們展現一番更好的前景，它能滋養我們的靈魂。夢想代表一種可能性，盡管它會受現實的羈絆。夢想讓我們永往直前。多數成功人士都是夢想家。夢想家不滿足於平庸，因為誰都不希望半途而廢。
孩提時，我們不曾夢想過自立而充滿挫折的生活，卻夢想做一些轟轟烈烈而有意義的大事。我們夢想成為偉人。
如今，我們知道，要實現夢想必須全力以赴，可多數人卻不知從何入手。我們可能在5年後成為副總統，或是在馬拉鬆賽中衝過終點，或是完成多年前就已開始創作的小說。可我們往往不知怎樣將夢想付諸行動。
