Everyone has dreams . Your dreams may change with time and changing situations . As time passes and you grow up , you approach life with a more realistic attitude , putting your dreams in order of feasibility . Even if your childhood dreams take last place on the feasibility list , they will always remain in your mind . Because as we grow , we move away from dreaming and start trying to reach goals . If ambition overrides other human emotions while achieving these goals , we begin to hurt each other ’ s feelings for the sake of achieving them .
I have never let the things I have lived through sink me into pessimism . Instead , I made sure that I was really experiencing all the good and bad things I had lived and that I would learn from them and use them as an experience later in my life . I do not know what time will bring , but I know that I may encounter bad experiences as well as good ones . My dream is to be more sensitive to these later on , which I have experienced before .
I know that I can feel unfinished if I do not see the opportunities ahead of me and therefore sink into pessimism . If I see the events I experienced on the way to my goals and dreams as an opportunity rather than an obstacle on my way , I will not feel like I am unfinished . Because I know that I may not reach the end of the road and I may not find the opportunity to make all my dreams come true , but when I look back and see the flowers I planted on the side of the road , a child I picked up who had fallen to the ground , a dog I caressed its head , I would realize that I have succeeded . Because no matter how much we seem to be walking alone on this road , this road is ours .
