One Step Closer

Arda YILDIZ

Does everyone dream ? No , I don ’ t think so . I know there are people who are so desperate that they cannot even dream anymore . Do you want to be one of them ? No . Because you are not powerless . On the contrary , you have the biggest power in your hands , time . So , go ahead and dream . Dream , dream and dream … Be realistic about what you do to realize your dream , but don ’ t be realistic about your dream . Just know that one day , you will achieve it . Have you ever heard about Martin Luther King Jr . and his famous ‘ I Have a Dream ’ speech ? Right , it ’ s the proof that dreams are beyond our lives . His dreams are still being realized . Lives end but dreams keep coming true .
The first thing you should do to cover a distance is start right now , not tomorrow or Monday . You should take a step ahead every single day . No matter if it is a small one , just take at least one little step every day . As I mentioned , don ’ t be realistic about dreams but be realistic about your steps . For instance , you can ’ t read 100 pages every day constantly . But you can read 36500 pages a year . This is the whole point . If you keep taking steps every day , one day you ’ ll notice that you have completed the path . Remember , stability will bring success as it is like in the story ‘ The Tortoise and the Hare .”
The steps taken on the right path always get you closer to your dream . Do not ever give up dreaming …
