Dreams

[cgnotcb]

Some people dream about being rich, others dream about being carefree.

I was told by a "sweeper", don't dream. Just do it.

He who drives a taxi 3wks ago. Drove Mercedez, BMW etc provided by the companies.

Having rested for a year, he sat down with me in the small coffee below my office. 
Telling me straight in the face, " Don't play games young man,

Dreaming about something can be good, it acts as a motivation for you to reach a goal, makes you challenge boundaries you thought you could never surpass, makes you grow as a person. but more than often people don't really act on them because of certain constrains, either that or they indulge so much in it that they lose themselves along the way.

at the end of the day, what's importnat is that you can go to bed feeling accomplished and peaceful, knowing that the next day is one step closer to that dream.

but questions to ask is, is the dream worth realising in the first place? if yes, how are you going to reach it? and last but not least, who will be there at the end of the journey to enjoy this dream with?

I'm with happicrab on dreaming big, and the purpose or value of achieving what you dream.

You are right when you said that during the course of the day, we should make things happen instead of building castles in the air. People tend to be too overwhelmed by their dreams and end up just thinking about it and not doing anything.

However, I disagree on the 'feel accomplished, hence have dreamless nights' part, which I thought it should be 'feel accomplished, so can dream bigger and more realistic achieveable goals'.

I do not think what that guy said ends up pulling you down from what you believe. Do you mean he shattered your dreams? I think he did not, based on what you wrote, and instead I thought he was being real in telling you to take action and have the macro view in things, instead of dulling in the smaller minor stuff.

Be contented with what you have. Tommorrow might never come.

There is only so much one could do a day.
If you keep following up on your dreams on the macro scale. I don't think you can sleep well. Furthermore, stress level will be high and happiness just can't stand beside you in this case. For you are not contented with the processing steps to your dreams.

The sweeper didn't shatter my dreams. He set me thinking. I have re-evaluated my thoughts and now looking at a broader macro perspective. I always like talking to people from different fields and levels. They help broaden my horizon and grow.

We can never learn everything in any stage of life. We must re-evaluate others perspective and take in what can do us good.

Your reply is contradicting.

First you say looking at things on a macro level is not good because it equates to increment in stress level and greed.

Then you say you have re-evaluated your thoughts and through adoption of macro perspectives, it allows you to grow.

Anyway, my reply earlier has nothing to do with being contented or not.

You can set goals based on macro view.
Handle it step by step at micro view.
Be contented with the steps daily and feel accomplished.

Nothing contradicting.

To me, if the macro burden keep weighing on my mind every other minute. I will die of stress.

"I should try to aim higher, not looking at how to tackle the boss or colleagues, but concentrating on learning from the on-the-job."

Contented with Happiness now.

The journey will not end till we are old and coffinated.

Dreams will change and segments of it will come true.

Occupation is just for the salary. Dreams covers a whole wider aspect of life.

My life has already merge with yours.
