Have you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step.    1     You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.

    2     If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.

It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field.     3     Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.

At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. Don’t allow your fear to get the best of you, or you’re never going to forgive yourself.     4    It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push.

When I am a little girl, I wanted to be a film star. I thought it would be cool to be in the middle of the stage. I used to think that whether I became a film star, I would make many money and lead a happy and rich life. But I changed my dream. Over the recently months, I have seen many doctors and nurses who tried their best save others despite the danger they face and tiredness. They are real hero in our society. They are the most beautiful people in your heart, who, as a matter of fact, deserves our highest respect. I have been made up my mind to be one of them and to be an useful person.

My dream is to become school teacher in the future. In fact, I had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. In my opinion, without teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children’s growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge for children, but they also teach children how to behave them. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. But to me, what great fun it is to be with children! They make me to feel young forever because I’ll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.

That we all know, everyone has a dream. I have dreamed of being a doctor since I entered into primary school. Nowadays with modern life go rapidly, many people suffer from different kind of diseases, both mentally and physically. As a result, doctors are in great need at home and abroad. My dream is to become successful doctor, helping to save people’s lives. Although to be a good doctor was very difficult, I will do however I can to keep everyone healthy. To make my dream come true, I have told me over and over again that I’ll pay more attention on studies. After all, only by working hardly can one succeed.
