As students, you may have many dreams. They can be very big like becoming Superman, or they can be small, just like one of the ten best students in your class.

If you find a dream, what do you do with it? How will you make your dream come true?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge(挑战).

“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects or you can't win in the end. The ideas stop you from getting your dream,” the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want, step by step(一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster. A big dream is many small dreams.

Never give up (放弃) your dream. There will be difficulties on the road. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will bring you better exam points. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. Then you can learn more skills and find new interests.
