How to make your dream come true
There is doubt that everyone has a dream like the writer of The Shadowland of Dreams does. As a result, that is a question about how to make your dream come true. After reading The Shadowland of Dreams, I find that the writer how to make his dream come true. I believe that the experience of the writer can give us a lesson about how to make our dream come true.
From the experience of the writer, we can know that a clear goal is very vital. So as the first step, we should make a clear goal. It does not mean just a goal. It means we must choose a general goal and divide the general goal to some little goals we can reach easily. And then we should make a plan, which about when and how should we reach the little goals in details. Like the writer did, he left his hometown to be a freelance writer at first, and after a long time, he succeeded at last.
The second step is trying our best to reach the goals according the plan. Edison once put: genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. This sentence tells us if we want to succeed, we should try our best. The writer suffered a lot before getting his break, but he still try his best to write just because he knew he wanted to write. Thus, the second important thing is that we should try our best for our established goal.
Certainly, there are many troubles that may come from mental or physical when we try to reach our goals. And many of us may give up their goals because of the troubles. Therefore, we should insist our goals when we are facing the troubles. The writer was facing the situation of making not enough food to eat in physical, the fear of failure in mental and the laughter of others from the society, but he also put his dream to the test until his dream was come true. So the experience of the writer tells us we should insist our goals persistently no matter how difficult the troubles are.
There is another very important thing we need when facing the troubles. It is keeping a positive mind. This means we should treat the troubles as training which can help us improve our ability. There is an article which says if the God want to make you take the important responsibility, he would train you by making you face many troubles to improve your ability. This is also a very important thing that the writer learns from some struggling artists.
All those I have concerned is my thinking about this article after reading it. And I think the writer wants to tell us by this article is that we should insist our dream, keep a positive mind and try our best to make our dream come true. And I will try my best to realize my dream like the writer wants to tell us.
