Life and dream
These are one of the interesting moments of my college life.
In class today, before starting the lecture, the lecturer suddenly ask us seriously, "What is your dream?"
Maybe because this is the first lecture, so she wants to give us some encouragement in the first class. But no matter what’s the reason, when the lecturer asked the question, my heart stops beating for a moment.
Do you still remember the last time you heard this question? Is it when you introducing yourself during primary school? Or a motivational speech for yourself? Anyway, it's been a long time since I heard it.
After listening to the question, the students are all laughing, the lecturer also start laughing, I also laughed.
I don't know why I laughed, probably because it was too naïve. For some children, they will think this question carefully, but for adults like us, being asked about this question, there is a kind of like watching children talking, feels childish.
Later the lecturer asked us to discuss the question. The people around me looking at each other, don’t know what to say. Some people joke that they want to earn a lot of money, some people say able to find a good job after graduation, others say hope can buy their own house in the big city.
But I can tell from their slightly playful faces that it's not their real dream.
As a child, you may want to grow up to invent a lot of interesting things to serve the motherland. But not until you realized, you have begun to grow up slowly.
Your thoughts started to change, maybe someday in the future you will feel that you can’t become a scientist, but you still want to be able to invent things. Maybe someday in the future, you will think that inventing is very difficult, maybe you can make something small and easy. Maybe another day, you will feel that your thoughts don’t have any use, then gave up.
A lot of things are like this, with again and again changes, it gradually disappeared without a trace, the same goes for your dream.
The difference between the dream and the ideal is that the dream is impossible to achieve, but the ideal can be achieved.
From the Internet, it said that the ideal is determined from the real life, and the dream is divorced from reality; the ideal can help you succeed, but the dream can only help you temporarily escape from the reality.
To be honest, I don't agree with that. I think that nowadays, it is no more interesting to interpret a dream as an interest. In modern times, the most famous successful people in various industries are engaged in their favorite industries, their dreams are their interests.
The reality is there will always bad things happen, it won’t work if only supported by the dream. If only supported by work will also certainly won’t work.
So, we need to have a dream, have interest, and never forget about our dream of youth.

Each one of us should have our own dream and have the guts to chase after our dreams.
