I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every vally shall be
exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will
be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory
of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. Wow
, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world
seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in
the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying
goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams. However, we meed
dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when
we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people
are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big
and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing
something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to
do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However
, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these
dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick
to it. Don't let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong
belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance
and through our creativity, we will make it. Hold fast to dreams, for
if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast
to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow
. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever
it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
