Dreams do come true..

Dreams are there so that you can achieve those dreams. We have dreams because we have vision of what we want our life to be. Sometimes we make dreams that we realize that we won't be able to achieve it. Do you believe that? I'm not entirely believe on that statement. I believe that we can do anything to achieve our dreams...to make our dreams come true. It's our passion that can make it succeed or fail. There are things that we can do to make dreams coming true. A quote of Arnold H Glasgow states that:

"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it." (Arnold H Glasgow)

I think it's how you put your energy and enthusiasm that can make those dreams come true. There are those people who say that we can't achieve our dreams because we aim too high. If you hear things like that...just shut your ears and move on. Leave the comment behind you. Below is the list of people who pursue their dreams no matter how the whole world tell them that they couldn't achieve it. But they did have their dreams. You can be one of them too.
