DREAM. IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS.

DONT.  BE.  A.  DAY.  DREAMER.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, the passion, to hope, to wish, to imagine. Human, we, are born, to dream. Dream big and don't give up your childhood dreams.

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's about how to lead your life, ... If you lead the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you ! " RANDY PAUSCH once said this, in his book, THE LAST LECTURE. Yes, he too said that we have to dream big, and live our dreams.





Let this be my final philosophy for  the year of 2013, 

Don't be a DAY DREAMER. Be a DREAMER. 
 -- DON'T BE A DAY DREAMER.

Married or unmarried, young or old poet or  worker, you are still undoubtedly a dreamer, and when life just doesn't wanna befriend you at some moments, dream on, and dreams will come true, eventually. Preserve, and persist on your dreams, and work for it... you will be blessed. 

I am not a day dreamer. I am a DREAMER.  
 -- I AM NOT A DAY DREAMER.


a really GOOD lecture. To Randy Pausch and Jai Pausch.


**********************************************


actually, i got the idea of creating this post is not initially for this book, or should i said that i had wanted to write a similar post ever since the very beginning of 2013, because i was really impressed by the content. Yet, i can't find time to write a review, and time soon get better of me and i wholly forgotten about the matter. But on, 27-12-2013, i attended a charity concert, themed, TO DREAM, THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. I was touched by everything at the concert, especially, the theme song, which later brought back the idea of writing such a post. Dream. Impossible Dreams.

GUYS, it's the end of 2013, but it'll never be the end of your dreams, nor the end of DREAM.
Dream always exist, and even your dreams can't all come true, i believe it will, eventually, even to the extent of being visualized gradually by other generations. Dreams can be passed on.
Guys, don't forget to dream. We are a dreamer, dreaming is our quest.



IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
(THE QUEST)
To dream, the impossible dream

To fight, the unbeatable foe
To bear, with unbearable sorrow
To run, where the brave dare not go
To right, the unrightable wrong
To love, pure and chaste from afar
To try, when your arms are too weary
To reach, the unreachable star



This is my quest, to follow that star ... 
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ... 
To fight for the right, without question or pause ... 
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ... 



And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest, 
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm, 
when I'm laid to my rest ... 
And the world will be better for this: 
That one man, scorned and covered with scars, 
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, 
To reach, the unreachable star ...

really gonna move on ?

Ya, we really gotta move on.
we may face adversities in life, on and off.
Adversities, ordeals, obstacles, mishaps, pick your choice.
but we really got to move on, forever,
face it and challenge it, overcome them.
because, no one's gonna wait for us.

we might be born in the midst of hardships;
maybe with disabilities,
just like in the Story of Edgar Sawtelle, written by Davis Wroblewski.
Edgar, born dumb, but could hear, could see;
he could understand everything happened around him.
His wicked uncle, Claude, poisoned his father, Gar, and causes the misfortunes, including him later in the story,
but after running away, he knew what he should have done, and at least what he could do,
to fulfill his grandpa and dad's wishes. The Sawtelle dogs.
That's his legacy. Their legacies.
Mustn't give up on life.
if life wasn't easy for us, remember that it wasn't easy for Edgar either.

you'll see :
Even if you lost somebody or something important/ precious to you in life,
you can cry, you can wail, you can weep.
you can scream, shout, shriek.
People will understand.
They will tolerate. But not for long.
People have their own life to dwell on with.
They have to deal with own matters.
So, you really gonna move on. >.+
