I have a dream- Martin Luther King
Jr
A lot of people will argue and
agree that everyone in this world has dreams. They will argue plausibly that
everyone dreams of being rich, successful, married and sundry other things. I
agree with them but there is an area in which I differ. What most people may
consider as being dreams I deem to be wishes. Yes! Everyone wishes to be rich,
famous, successful, educated, respected, holy etc, but very few people dream.
My definition of someone with a dream is not someone with mere wishes, but
someone with a profound desire to see that his wishes come to fruition. Wishes
are short-lived but dreams abide and linger on. Wishes are numerous, dreams are
relatively few. I may simply wish for a good car. If it comes fine, if it
doesn’t fine and I don’t necessarily have to make a conscious effort to get it.
But if I dream of a good car and it doesn’t come, I’ll be deeply hurt because
of the conscious effort I made to achieve it. Wishes may not necessarily be
feasible but real dreams are feasible. Most people that dream the way I defined
it as achieve success or some level of success. This is due mainly to their
profound desire to make their wishes to materialize which leads them to
exhibiting utmost determination and diligence. A dream is something you
conceive in your mind, something you have an avid interest in seeing it come to
past. Realization of a dream boosts your self-esteem and self-actualization.
Nigerians it is time to dream big and not to fantasize or wish. Let us dream
dreams that we have a penchant for so that we will push for the realization of
those dreams. Dreams give you a reason to live, a focus and a task to achieve.
Remember if you don’t have a dream, you have nothing. Everyone should have his
or her own dream so that you don’t fall for anyone’s dream or live another
man’s dream. I dream to be a great person in Nigeria and to make my life
sublime and I’m striving to achieve that.

not one without money but one without a dream-
