As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, like winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once (一旦) you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make
your dream real? "Follow Your Heart" by Australian writer Andrew
Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge.
You may think you're not very good at
some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.
These kinds of thoughts (想法) stop you from getting your
dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true (实现). The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up (放弃) your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of(代替) watching TV will bring you better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance (机会)to learn more skills (技能) and find new interests.
