Answer 1

The meaning of life lies in holding fast to dreams. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we need dreams. They keep us going; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. Most successful people are dreams as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big, something significant. Now what we need to do is to keep to them. However, the toughest part is that we often have no idea how to act out all your fantasies. Well, just start with concrete goals and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and defeat our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our intelligence, through our efforts and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
