Never Stop Dreaming “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” This quote came from Harriet Tubman. Even from Harriet Tubman’s time people were dreaming about making a difference in the world. Throughout the dream unit, I have realized that dreams are what give people the motivation in the morning to wake up. Many of the people we read or listened to had a very determined vision of what they were going to do with their life- and when they worked very hard at it, that vision came true. With enough perseverance and persistence, dreaming is worth it, because Walt Disney showed that dreams do come true, life is too short …show more content…

It may not be easy, but anything that doesn’t take hard work isn’t worth it. Many famous people wouldn’t be well known if they wouldn’t have pursued their dreams. Walt Disney is the first to come to mind. After years of hard work, his dreams of bringing Mickey Mouse to life finally came true.

For the people who don’t give up after they don’t win the lottery come out as the stronger person. They kept going, even when something knocked them down. If they just won the lottery with no thought whatsoever, this wouldn’t be going after their dream. It would just be getting rich. “You've probably fancifully imagined what you might do with lottery earnings, but those who do well have serious plans for where they want to be in five years. Lottery winnings can help them get there, said Danish, the psychology professor. Those who don't have clear life goals are more likely to feel overwhelmed and fumble with the money, even more than before winning, he said.” This passage shows that people who have thought out plans of
