Every morning while I do my online work I can see a poster my sister gave me for Christmas, which now has pride of place above my computer desk. It reads:
"Dream the Impossible. Seek the Unknown. Achieve Greatness."
To me, that is a great part of what life is all about. We are not just here to be here - we are here to achieve.
For each of us, that dream will be very different. But whatever that dream means for you, dream it - and achieve it!
You may sometimes give up hope that you can ever achieve it. When you apply logic to your dream it really seems impossible, so why try? But this world is filled with people who have achieved the impossible. It doesn't matter that it seems impossible to you now - if it really is your dream, then go out and fight for it!
As Joe Darion and Mitch Leigh said in their beautiful song, composed for the Broadway musical, "Man of La Mancha", if you are true to your quest you really can make this world a better place!
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
This is very beautifull, thank you.
