The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"
曾經，一個非常成功的商人被問到：“你是怎樣做到如此的成功？”

He replied, "I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real."
他回答：“因為我有夢想。我放飛我的心靈馳騁想象，構思我要做的事情。然后，帶著這些構思進入夢鄉，在夢中我再次了夢到我的夢想。第二天睡夢中醒來時，我也就找到了實現我自己夢想的方法”。

While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' "I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted." As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: "We grow great by dreams."
當其他人說“你做不到的，那不可能會實現的”。“而我卻一直堅持在實現自己夢想的路。”就像美國第28屆總統伍德羅·威爾遜所說的：“夢想成就偉大”。

"All big men are dreamers." They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening.
“所有偉大的人一定都是夢想家。”他們在春天的迷霧中嗅到生機，在漫長冬夜的火苗中看到希望。

Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
其實我們中的一些人卻放棄了自己的夢想，但另一些人則小心翼翼的呵護著他們的夢想，哪怕歷經磨難，也從未放棄，直到重見光明的那一天。所以只有那些真心希望并堅持自己夢想的人最終才能實現自己的夢想。

So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible. "Sing your songs, and dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer."
所以，請不要讓任何人偷走你的夢想，更不要聽信實現夢想多么遙不可及。“唱自己的歌，做自己的夢，給你的希望以希望，祈禱你自己的祈禱。”
