What kind of dream do you choose

It's not death that most people are afraid of. It's getting to the end of life, looking back and realizing that you never really lived. According to a study done in a hospital, 100 elderly people were asked to reflect on their biggest regret in life. Almost all people answer not about what they did, but about what they didn't do, the risks they didn't take, the dreams they didn't pursue. Let me ask you -- what would your last words in life be -- "If I had... Hey! Wake up, brother! What is your reason for being? Life is not just about working and waiting for the weekend and paying rent. No, it's not! I don't know much, but I do know one thing, and I apologize to all my black friends, because I can no longer pretend that Martin Luther King, the great civil rights leader, had a dream, and that dream owned him. People don't choose dreams, dreams choose people, so my question is - do you have the courage to catch the dreams that choose you? The dream that belongs to you and rocks you, or will you let it slip away? I just recently learned a fact about airplanes, a very surprising fact, and I was talking to a pilot, and he told me that a lot of passengers find flying dangerous, and he said, in fact, it's more dangerous when the plane is on the ground. I said, ha! ? You say what? He says planes rust, break down and age faster on the ground than they do in the air. And WHEN I thought about it, yeah, that makes sense, because airplanes are built to stay in the air. Just like humans are made to live out their dreams. So perhaps the saddest part of being alive is walking on land all your life and never taking off. Most people are afraid of thieves. They will break into your house in the middle of the night to steal things, but there is a thief in your heart who steals your dreams. His name is Doubt. If you see him please call the police immediately, do not let it near the children, because he is wanted, has killed more dreams than failures, he wears a variety of masks, like a virus, will make people blind, split, let people become "a little brother". "A little bit" is very dangerous. You know what "a little bit" is. There are many people in our society who have a little bit of everything. It's simple math. If you think about everything a little bit, you'll only get a little bit of what you want. What is your dream? What ignites the spark of dreams? You can't just want something, you have to pursue it with your life! Will it be hard? Yes, it will be hard, there will be no shortcuts, and you will fall many times, but who will count how many times? Just remember one thing - there are no flat mountains in the world, and whoever wants to get to the top must first climb a steep ridge. Sometimes you get stressed out, and you get discouraged, but let me tell you, Steven Spielberg was rejected by film school three times. Three times! But he didn't give up! Oprah was fired from her TV company, saying she was not cut out for TV, but she didn't give up! Beyonce was told by critics that she couldn't sing and suffered from depression, but she didn't give up! Suffering and criticism are prerequisites for greatness. That's how the world works. No exception! Because pain is life, but you can choose the kind of pain, is it the pain toward success? Or a lifetime of regret? You want my advice? -- Just do it! Life is a gift from God, so don't mess it up. The past doesn't define you, because every moment in the future you are a new person. So seize the moment! Sometimes you have to try to jump, can be in the process of falling full-fledged, you have to be ahead of the deadline, because a life without a play-off, cannot again, I know I sound like to preach in nagging, but if you are not good with this gift, then you are not only look down on yourself, but also look down upon the world! What new invention is buried in your heart? New ideas? What's the cure? Skills? It's what you can bring to the world, Uni is the one, verse is the song, in this song everyone is a singer, so pick up the microphone, have the courage, and sing on the stage of your life! You may not be able to go back and start a new beginning, but you can start now and make a new ending.
