I just gave an introductory speech in my Fundamentals of Communications class. I wanted to mix things up just a tad, and presumed that everyone would do the usual 'Rough Outline of My Life' aka 'Snoozeville' format. I wrote my speech about three of my dreams that I have for my life.
The class impressed me as most of the 6 people who went before me spoke about things that actually matter about who they are as a person. So I didn't stand out by having a radically different speech. That's why I decided to spend my weekly shower on today, so I would look even more dashing than usual. It worked, the crowd loved me.
But, the point: No one is anything and no place is anywhere and no era is anytime if dreams aren't present. Think about it. I'm writing this blog and you're reading it because I dream of being an author. The dorm room I sit in exists because someone way back when dreamt that buildings could be built and could be made to look awesome on the outside. And this decade would be nothing compared to what it is now if no one dreamt about the internet or improving communications and technology.
Imagine rock music if Jimi Hendrix never dreamt.
Imagine America if the pilgrims never dreamt.
Imagine 'Inception' if Leonardo DiCaprio never dreamt. That would be a really pointless movie.
You have a dream, so follow it. The difference between stupid dreams and realistic dreams is up to you to decide through how much you pursue it.
