Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

Did you still remem­ber your childhood’s dreams? Have you meet any of them?

When I was a child, I had a lot of dreams. Such as to do on the stage (yea, I did that already when I was in the school), dream about one day I can travel to dif­fer­ent coun­tries to see the world (I went to few coun­tries already) and go to see the Pyra­mid in the Egypt (this dream has not make yet) etc. I went to meet almost all of those dreams, but they didn’t all come easy. How­ever, my pas­sion takes me to wher­ever I go

I was born in a big and warm fam­ily. But I was grow­ing up with my grand­par­ents and great-grandmother (I will tell you more about her later). They are very nice and kind peo­ple, but they are also very strict in lots of things espe­cially my grand­fa­ther. Well, one of the things my grand­fa­ther behind for me is his teach­ing and wis­dom. He called it a mes­sage in a bottle.

I believe every one of us has some sort of dream they want to make real in their child­hood, or some sort of pas­sion that they want to tap into.

Randy Pausch, the charis­matic young col­lege pro­fes­sor who chron­i­cled his bat­tle with pan­cre­atic can­cer in a remark­able speech widely-known as the “Last Lec­ture,” spoke about his child­hood dreams.

“You may not agree with the list but I was there. … Being in zero grav­ity, play­ing in the National Foot­ball League, author­ing an arti­cle in the World Book Ency­clo­pe­dia — I guess you can tell the nerds early. … I wanted to be one of the guys who won the big stuffed ani­mals in the amuse­ment park.”

In the lec­ture, he spoke of over­com­ing the obsta­cles that may seem insur­mount­able. But Pausch had a novel way of look­ing at obstacles :

“The brick walls are there for a rea­son,” he said dur­ing his lec­ture. “The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.”
