Grow Great by Dreams
The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"
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. 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. 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. 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.
So please, don not 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."

曾经有人问一个非常成功的商人:“你是怎样在有生之年取得这样的成就呢?”
他回答:“我做梦。我放飞自己的思想,想象自己想要的东西。然后我就上床,沉思自己的梦想。那个晚上,我就可以梦到自己的梦想。当第二天早上醒来,我就看到了通向梦想的路。当别人对我说:‘你做不到,这不可能’,而我总是坚持实现自己梦想的路。”正如美国第28届总统伍德鲁?威尔逊所说:“我们因为梦想而变得伟大。所有伟人都是梦想家。”
他们在春天的薄雾或冬夜的篝火里辨清事物。我们有些人让梦想消失,但有些人却培养、保护它们;在生命低潮时仍然培养它们直到看到太阳和光明,而这些只属于那些真诚希望实现梦想的人们。
所以,请不要让别人偷走你的梦想,或者让他们对你说梦想太遥不可及。
“唱你的歌,做你的梦,给你的希望以希望,给你的祈祷以祈祷。”
Move Forward
With age comes experience and with experience comes knowledge and understanding. No one individual is ever completed with his or her growth. For the wisest of all men has death to face. And with death imminent for all, one will still have to face fear till the very end of one's existence. So to take what one learns through life and to press on towards the goals set will one begin to face new, challenging, and sometimes even exciting new fears. Life will never complete itself until one has completed the life he is given. Therefore it is incredibly irresponsible to merely accept death as the imminent future, settle into a comfort zone naught of challenge, and to merely exist. Could a better definition of waste be drawn?
It is each and everyone's responsibility to konw who he is. And it is, therefore, each and everyone's responsibility to take what he has as genetic tools to better his life and to better the lives of others. For if all accepted individuality and accepted the individuality of others, then all would have the sympathy for one another.
This is harmony; the ideal nature of life by which life is then lived. To live in harmony with one another is but a simple step forward in one's thinking.
Once one has recognized one's individuality, accepted one's fears, and chosen to set goals and move foward with the important aid of hope, will one have truly conquered living life.

经验伴随着年龄增长,知识与宽容伴随着经验增长。人的增长空间是无限的,因为最聪明的人也要面对死亡。死亡对每个人来说都不远。只要人活着,就会有未知的事物去面对。
所以,一个人终生学习,向目标奋进,就会迎来新的挑战,有时甚至是新的恐惧。生活从不会自己终结,除非你终结生命。因此,垂手等待死亡,期待一个毫无挑战的安乐乡,只是为了活下去,这是对自己的不负责任。还有比被喻为垃圾更好的定义吗?
每个人都应当知道自己是谁,而且他应该用自己天生的能力改变自己的生活,以及别人的生活。因为如果每个人都认同个体的存在及其他个体的存在,那么他就会对其他人有同情之心。
这就是和谐——生活的最高境界。与他人和谐共处其实是只要人这么想就能办到的。只要一个人认同了他的个体性、接受他的恐惧、选择了目标、怀着希望奋勇前进,那么他就真正地战胜生活了。
As the song goes “ My future isn’t a dream .” I love the song which brings me confidence when singing it every time . I believe that all our dreams can come true if we have courage to pursue them .When I was young my father always asked me what I would be in the future . Sometimes I found it very hard to give a certain reply . “ I want to be a doctor .” “ I want to be a teacher .” and “ I ’d like to be a scientist !” Many of these answers are perhaps very childish and ridiculous . But I never think they are far away .
How time flies! Who is able to give a definition to his future ? I know clearly that those high buildings are based on solid foundation . As a student , I should have a reasonable aim , and study hard . My goal is to enter the best university for further study after middle school . I know it’s hard work , and I ’ll come across many difficulties and frustrations . But no matter what they are , I’ll keep working on it and never give up . My teacher says there ’s only one kind of people that are truly successful : those who are brave enough to put up with hardships . Even if I won’t achieve the goal , I have no regrets for what I have done , for I have struggled for my life .
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
