Pursuit Of Dreams

Melisa ÖZÇOBAN

Everybody has dreams . Some have extraordinary dreams that might seem unlikely to come true , some have dreams that might shape their whole lives , and numerous people live up to the dreams they have . It is almost impossible to control your thoughts and even before you find out , those thoughts construct a dream that you cannot get out of your head , a dream about a goal that you have never thought you would have .
Some children have dreams of becoming a princess , a ballerina or an astronaut one day , while some dream of becoming an engineer or a fireman . Having dreams is what makes us human , ideas that no one other than you can know , a second life you live inside your head that nobody else knows of . For some people , having big dreams is only a waste of time , and instead of dreaming you should be realistic ; but what even is realistic . For some , realistic dreams are basic goals that are not very difficult to achieve , but the fact that someone has bigger dreams does not mean that they are not realistic . We are the ones who control what happens in our lives , and we are the ones who shape our own reality , just like Sarah Ban Breathnach said ‘’ The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers . But above all , the world needs dreamers who do ’’. It is up to us to decide whether we will take action to make our dreams come true , or listen to other ’ s judgmental opinions and live our lives with a void that could only be filled by fulfilling or at least trying to fulfill our dreams . One should always remember that our dreams can come true only if we have the courage to pursue them .
