About
Everything in life starts with a dream. Those who move on to the attainment of their goals understand how important doing that little bit extra is with dreaming.
When we were a child and someone asks us a question of what we want when we grow up, we can easily answer and say like "I want to be a doctor" or "I want to be a lawyer."
But now, ask someone in your office what they want in life. Maybe they'll just say they want a phone, they want a car, a new dress or house perhaps.
Dreaming is free but a kids and a grown up like me have different point of view regarding it. When kids answer to this question, they won't hesitate to answer no matter how big their dreams are. They didn't mean to worry if it's achievable or not. What they do know is that they want it and it can be achieved. It's something that for them, nothing can hinder towards realizing it. But as we grow up, we tend to realize that the world is harsh. Given the opportunity to answer the same question, we may pause for a while and think of something that can be realistic and more achievable. In short, we might dream something smaller. This is mainly because our mindset is affected by lots of facts that give us fear of dreaming big. We tend to analyze a lot thus limiting our ability to think big. As a result, this fear becomes a hindrance to achieve greater things in life.
