Week 2: Dream and Works

One of the reasons why I think Randy Pausch achieved his childhood dream because I think that his parents gave him the support every way of his childhood to help groom that dream. When he wrote on the walls, he was not scolded for it, but he was allowed to explore. That gave him more space to grow his wings ad to fly. The help of his family at that young age came a long way to help him in achieving his childhood dream.

 

I feel that dreaming is important and that we cannot do or achieve anything without first dreaming about it. I know also that most often if the brain can think of it, it can be achieved when worked on. It is important to dream but most important to work that dream for dreams without works is like faith without works, it is then a dead thing.

 

One of my childhood dreams was to become an astronaut and one was to become a writer and a teacher(professor). I gave up on the first which is to become an astronaut and held tight on becoming a writer and a professor. I realized that I wanted to inspire the lives on people more while on earth and in the classrooms. I also realized that I could still take people to space even without a shuttle. That I could give the opportunity to experience space in my writings.

 

Publishing a book last year got me a little bit closer to this goal than I could ever be. I believe that I can achieve this dream because I have started the fundamentals of getting it done and I know that I am not far from it as far as I keep on doing the work, I can achieve the end results.
