坚持梦想

汤琴琴

If you can dream it， you can do it.

I don' t know what that dream is that youhave. I don' t care how disappointing it mightbe as you' re working toward that dream. Butthat dream that you ' re holding in your mind -it' s possible. Some of you already know that it' shard. It ' s not easy. It ' s hard changing your life.In the process of chasing your dreams， you aregoing to incur a lot of disappointment， a lot offailure， a lot of pain.

There will be moments when you are go-ing to doubt yourself. You ' ll say， "Why'？ Whyis this happening to me？ I' m .just trying to takecare of my children， and my mother. I' m nottrying to steal or rob from anybody. How didthis have to happen to me'？" For those of youwho have experienced some hardships - don ' tgive up on your dream. The rough times aregonna come， but they will not stay， they willcome to pass.

Many of you fail to seek your purpose inlife and you should. You dream and then followit up with a list of all the reasons why thedream is unachievable. You fill your life withexcuses and "I can' t." Many great companieswere conceived from a dream， nurtured in a ga-rage or basement and grew to be traded on theNew York Stock Exchange. Why not you？ Whynot your dream'？ The only true limits you expe-rience in life are those you create or those youallow others to impose upon you. If you candream it， you can do it！

Dreaming is the easy part. Acting on thedream is harder. Recognize that a dream is a.journey. On the simplest level， it takes commit-ment， time， desire， and courage. But rarely issomething great easily realized. Dreaming isrecognizing and embracing the potential forgreatness and seeking it in all areas of your life.Believe in your dreams and your ability to ac-complish them. Keep your dreams in front ofyou. Never forget， if you can dream it， you cando it！

梦想还是要有的，万一实现了呢。

我不知道你有什么样的梦想。我也不在乎你在逐梦时它曾令你有多沮丧。但我要告诉你，你心中所坚持的那个梦，它是有可能实现的。你们中有的人应该也已经知道要实现它很难。的确并不容易。要改变你的人生，这很难。在逐梦的过程中，你们会遇到各种各样的困难、沮丧、失败、痛苦。

有时候你会怀疑你自己。你会问：“为什么？为什么这事会发生在我身上？我只是想照顾我的孩子，我的母亲。我并没想过要去偷和抢。为什么这事一定要发生在我身上？”遭遇过困难的你們，请别放弃你们的梦。糟糕的日子总会来，但不会停留太长，并终究会过去。

你们许多人在一生中或许会有找不到人生目标的时候，这很正常。你追求自己的梦，跟着出现一大堆告诉你这梦不可能实现的理由。你开始为自己的人生找各种借口，告诉自己“我不行。”很多大公司都是由一个梦演变而来，从车库或地下室里发展成为纽约交易所的上市公司。为什么不是你？为什么不是你的梦？你在人生路上所遇到的那些障碍都是你自己设置的，要么就是你让他人施加在你身上的。梦想还是要有的，万一实现了呢！

有梦想很容易，为梦而行才难。要知道，一个梦就是一段旅程，最简单地说，这梦需要你做出承诺，付出时间，坚定渴望，以及拥有勇气。道理很简单，却很少有人懂。梦就是要你意识到并拥抱生活中所有可能的美好。相信你的梦，相信自己能实现它。让它带领你。不要忘记，梦想还是要有的，万一实现了呢！
