Dreams

　　To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn’t enough, you must believe in your dreams and you must act. Without action, even the most grand of dreams evaporate into the ether when left unnurtured in the misty realms of the mind.

　　Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go it alone. Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown. As you dance your dreams into reality, those who can’t hear the music may think you a fool. Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams, small minds always do that. Great minds will encourage you that you can become great too.

　　Afraid you haven’t got what it takes? Then get it! Feed your mind the mental food it hungers for.

　　There was a dog breeder who had two dogs that raced every weekend. He took bets and always won. One week he’d bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he’d bet on the white dog, and folks seeing the black dog win the week before would bet, but this time the white dog would win. Why? One week he’d feed the dog he wanted to win a grand diet, and just give the other dog enough to survive. The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race.

　　Your mind is the same way; it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage, knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams, or keep you from them. You can build your mind up or tear it down. The choice is yours and you make it every day.

　　Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right circumstances to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams? My, you’re patient, aren’t you? You could be waiting forever, you know. Time is an illusion. Circumstances are what you make them. Opportunity is a whisper that waits for your invitation, it doesn’t burst in and shout its arrival.

　　Now is the right time. Circumstances change when you take action. Opportunity is yours for the making. So what are you really waiting for?

　　Here’s how you’ll know if you’ve become all you can be: If you’re alive, you haven’t.

　　若想做成大事，必須有偉大的夢想。但光有夢想是不行的，你還必須對自己的夢想有信心并付諸行動。

　　你是不是一直在等待合適的時間、合適的環境、合適的機會去實現你的夢想？你有足夠的耐心，你知道你能一直等下去。但時間是一種虛幻，環境要靠自己去創造，而機會更不會大聲通知它的到來，它只是等待著你的邀請的輕聲耳語。所以，現在就是合適的時間；當你付諸行動，環境就會改變；機會是自己創造的。那么，你還在等什么呢？
