Dare to dream

Everyone has an aim and wants to achieve that. Sometimes even our dreams help us in deciding our goals.

TE Lawrence once said, “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”

Even I have a dream. My dream is to grow up and become a world-famous doctor. I want to have a big hospital of my own where I can help people by curing them. I also want to help poor people by offering free medical service. Half of the money which I will earn, I will give to charity. I also want to open a medical college, where I can teach young doctors.

Many of my relatives and friends also have dreamt of achieving high in their lives.

One of my cousins wants to become a famous cricketer. Currently, he is a member of his school team.

Whenever there is a cricket match in his school, he returns home with a trophy in his hand. But he wants to be selected in the Indian cricket team as soon as Sachin Tendulkar retires. To reach his goal he practises regularly with his friends.

It is said that a dream is always a dream. It is neither small nor big, neither stupid nor wise, neither impossible nor unachievable. It has its own wings, its own flight and its own sky.

But I am sure that if one makes conscious efforts, he will certainly realise his dream.

Let us all make efforts with a strong determination to fulfil our dreams.
