Do you know your Dream? Make your target!

Written by Cho Mun-shik

Do you want a special job for your future? Then know what is your dream? Will you achieve your dream in your lifetime? I'm certain that you desire to. I'm sure it's nor just me also surround in the class.

But will you actually do what? What odds would you give yourself? Study hard? Earn more money? Get a degree? How can you tell whether your chances are good or whether your dream will always remain exactly that—a dream? And are you willing to put it to the test?

Most people I know have a dream. In fact, I’ve asked hundreds, if not thousands, of people about their dream. Some willingly describe it with great detail and enthusiasm.

Others are reluctant to talk about it. They seem embarrassed to say it out loud. These people have never tested their dream. They don’t know if others will laugh at them. They’re not sure if they’re aiming too high or too low. They don’t know if their dream is something they can really achieve or if they’re destined to fail.

Sometimes people have no idea how to achieve their dreams. It's me too. What they possess is a vague notion that there is something they would like to do someday or someone they would like to become. But they don’t know how to get from here to there. If that describes you, then you’ll be glad to know that there really is hope.

When I was a student in school, I can remember a teacher doing a review before a test and saying something like, "Pay attention now, because this is going to be on the test". The encouraging teachers who wanted to see their students succeed said things like that all the time. They wanted us to be prepared so we could do well. They put us to the test, but they set us up for success.

Now, my desire is to be like one of those encouraging teachers. I want to prepare you to put your dream to the test so you can actually achieve it. I believe that if you know the right questions to ask yourself, and if you can answer these questions in an affirmative way, you will have an excellent chance of being able to achieve your dreams. The more questions you can answer positively, the greater the likelihood of success, I think!

What do you have in Mind? Dreams are valuable commodities. They propel us forward. They give us energy. They make us enthusiastic. Everyone ought to have a dream. But what if you’re not sure whether you have a dream you want to pursue? Let’s see. Many people were not encouraged to dream. Others have dreams but lose hope and set them aside.

I want you to know that there’s good news. You can find or recapture your dreams. And they can be big dreams, not that all dreams have to be huge to be worth pursuing. They just need to be bigger than you are. I believe that dreams come a size too big so we can grow into them.

I truly believe that everyone has the potential to imagine a worthwhile dream, and most have the ability to achieve it. And it doesn’t matter how big or how seemingly outrageous your dream appears to others.

Always remember there are only two kinds of people in this world— the realists and the dreamers. The realists know where they’re going. The dreamers have already been there. At least my dream approached my mind the form of target always.

Realists get famous in their times, but dreamers leave their marks in history. It's real!
