FRIENDLY ADVICE

DREAM, WORK ON IT, ACT LIKE IT AND

MAKE IT HAPPEN
M

ost of the time we
dream and imagine
ourselves achieving
that dream but the truth is
no matter how we can
dream and imagine having
it, if you don't stand up, and
work on it, it will never
happen because it will
remain as a dream. It is a
good thing to dream but it
is even great when you
make your dreams come
true by just making it
happen. It's free to dream,
it doesn't cost a thing but it
cost to make the dream
come true.
Why am I saying that it
costs to achieve your
dreams? It's because it
takes so much hard and
dedication to achieve it.
This topic “Dream, Work

on it, Act like it and
Make it Happen” carries
a lot of volume in it. Let's
break it down in order for
you to understand it much
better.

1.Have a Dream
As a person, have a dream. What is it that
you want to achieve in your life and what
do you aspire to be in life. Having a
dream gives you the direction of where
you want to see yourself in the future.
You are able to know what you want
because you have a dream, you are
dreaming of becoming something better.
For example do you dream of becoming
a doctor, engineer, fashion designer or an
entrepreneur? The choice is yours.

2.Work on it
When you have a dream, don't sit down
and relax. Start to work on it, write down
your plan on how you will achieve your
dream. Do your research on the field you
are interested on doing. Don't just sit and
relax because you are dreaming of a
brighter future. That dream you have
won't achieve itself, so work on it.

3.Act like it
You want to become a doctor, act like it!
You want to become an engineer, act like
it! You want to become a fashion designer,
act like it! Or you want to become an
entrepreneur, act like it! Someone might
be asking themselves as to what is the
meaning of all this. For example you want
to become an entrepreneur but your
actions and your character says you look
like a security guard. If you want to
become an entrepreneur,

engineer or anything you desire to
be. Dress like it, talk like it, walk like
it, and be presentable.

4.Make it happen
Now it's time to make things
happen. It's time to rise up and make
that dream a reality, the journey
won't be smooth but it will be worth
it until the end. To dream is free but
to make it happen, it will cost a lot
more; you will face challenges along
the way that it will make you wish to
give up. No matter what happens
don't give up. It takes dedication,
hard work, focus, having a positive
attitude.
Dream, work on it, act like it and
make it happen is a choice or
decision you need to make as a
young person. No one will push you
to your destiny, you have to get up,
dust yourself up and keep moving.
Get on that hustle mode and make
things happen for yourself. Be the
best version of you, don't try to be
something you are not, keep your
originality and enjoy the ride.
