A
As teenagers, you have many dreams. Some dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Some can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you have a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?
Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Then, do what you need to do step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
