How to realize your dream? Start by asking yourself what makes you happy. Think about all the things that made you feel excited and happy in the past. You should think about what you want, not what you should do. Create a personal mission statement（任务说明). Mission statements aren't just for big companies.任务说明解释对你来说什么是重要的和你将去向何方。 Write down your past successes, the contributions you want to make to the world, and your short—term and long—term goals.
Re-examine your past goals. Try to forget the feelings of shame and regret. You are entering a new chapter of your life. It is important to examine your past experiences so that you don't repeat them. But it's also important to know your advantages（优点）in the past so that you can make them work for you in the future.
Write down your dream as a goal. Take a look at everything you have done—your happiness list, mission
statement and experiences from the past. Now begin to set up a simple and clear goal from these materials. Try to explain（解释）your dream in simple terms（术语）, using just one sentence（句子）. For example, a clear one sentence goal might be: “I will save more of my income each month so that I can take a nice vacation next summer."
你应该永远不放弃努力去实现你的梦想。The future is full of the unexpected（始料未及）.
