This is not an article about building dreams, nor is it chicken soup for the soul.
When you were young, your parents would give you a dream. When asked about dreams for the first time, young children learned the rules given by adults. In China, a dream that is neither grand nor brilliant will be laughed at. For example, when adults ask you this question about dreams, if you answer the seemingly promising dreams of scientists, volunteer soldiers and engineers, you will often get a lot of affirmation and applause; If your answer is to be a sanitation worker or a farmer, everyone shakes their heads, but in everyone's eyes, you just have no ambition and feel that this child has no big dreams.
Therefore, even if you don't know what dreams are, children have their own dreams. Because, usually, the first lesson of children's dreams is to copy the big dreams given by adults. Even if the child has grown up and has a vague yearning for the future, the dream of not following the rules will not be recognized.
When entering the university, everyone in the class has to fill out a personal information form, which is related to the last battle of our high school career: entering the university. An excellent art student in the class wrote in the column of personal specialty/hobby: threading a needle and leading a lead. This certainly shocked the class teacher and the teachers in charge of the department. What a ridiculous hobby this is. The class teacher found this girl several times and told her to change her hobby. She refused angrily. I don't understand her either. The love of acupuncture sounds not like a hobby. She said: My grandmother has bad eyes, but she likes to embroider some flowers to make some clothes. Every time she can't thread the needle normally, she will let me put it on her. As soon as I smoothed the thread and aimed it at the needle, I put it on immediately. My grandmother always praises my skills. I just think it's my hobby and it won't change. I just want to give my grandmother an injection for the rest of my life.
I was shocked at that time and immediately understood what she meant. Yes, there is no difference between hobbies and specialties. The most ardent dream in my heart turns out to be my deepest wish. Hobbies are your own, dreams are personal, how can the sky painted by others be the color you want most?
So don't be surprised when you have the passion to work hard and do something that has nothing to do with your hobbies. This is a dream.
My best friend wants to do photography when he graduates from college. After entering the studio, she was sure that this was not the photography she wanted. So, she graduated for 4 years and has been working as a copywriter in the jewelry industry. Did she give up her dream? No, in her words, the photography mode in the studio is completely different from her dream photography. She joined the jewelry company because it is a beautiful industry. She does copywriting because there is a story behind photography. Therefore, after four years, through study and continuous practice, her photography has formed a personal style. From the very beginning, she chose to abandon the unchanging studio style that seems to be similar to her dream but completely inconsistent with it, and integrate copywriting and personal perception of beauty into her photography works, making her more and more successful in pursuing her dream. Yes, I admire her very much. She knows her real dream and has been working hard for it. She is simply my role model.
Sincerely: don't think that trivial things are not enough to talk about dreams, and don't package dreams into luxury goods. You know, dreams are not out of reach. Don't care what other people think, even if you look like a fool. A Chinese partner like Cheng, full of passion and dreams, gritted his teeth and bleeding, moved in one direction, made his dreams come true, and woke up every day, feeling that his life was full and meaningful, full of vitality and a wonderful mark.
