Many of us have dreams when we were young, some even have big dream like Anousheh Ansari who wish to fly out and float in the the wonderful boundless space. But how many of us really have our dream come true?
I find that dream is important, as it is a projection of what we want to achieve in life. It has the power to drive us to achieve our goals and give us the strength to overcome any obstacles. However not many people realize the Power of Dream!
I would like to share with you how powerful dreams can be with the stories below.
In the eighteen century, the Wright brothers' (Wilbur and Orville) dream was to fly, and they have turn mankind dreams of flying into reality. In 1899 they start to experiment with gliders. However, the flying machine was flown successfully in December 1903 and a patent were granted for the flying machine in 1906. Their perseverance, courage, team work and application of scientific process give these self-taught engineers' dream come true. Most important, What they have achieved changed our world forever.
If you want to achieve what you want in life, well defined your dream and turn it into measurable goals, break them down into specific action steps and visualize the desired outcomes, just like the Wright brothers did.
In this current century a woman who is a billionaire, by the name of Anousheh Ansari set her dreams when she was only eight. She took courage and stands up for her dream and finally arrive at her destination.
When Anousheh Ansari was young, she liked to fix her eyes on the twinkling stars of the night skies over Tehran during summer. She look deep into the darkness of the mysterious universe and wondering what is out there? And she wonder if she could fly and float in the wonderful, boundless freedom of space?
Anousheh Ansari, who was born in Iran and lived there until age 16, had migrated to U.S with her whole family and got an education in Electrical Engineering. She has not forgotten her dream. She stuck to her dream and did not lose her way. Finally in 18th September 2006 she was raised to the surface of the moon and started her space traveling and became the First Female Private Space Tourist after spending about 20 millions.
To me it is a huge sum of money spends to fulfill her dream. Someone once asked her: is it worth spending so much money??
Her reply was she really do not have the right answer on how to price a dream. she said it is different for every person, But as for her she was ready to give her life for her dream, She would even go to that extend if she knew with certainty that it would be a one-way ticket.
I wonder how you would put a price for your dream and would you take such a risk even knowing all the dangers that you may encounter. To be honest with you, neither do I have an answer for it. But I do believe every person is different.
Many people tend to forget their dreams when they encounter life challenges. They put aside their aspirations, forget that they can and have the power to shape their future and ultimately they lose hope and their confidence.
Always remember that people just like you and me is no different from Ansari or the Wright brother, we all have the power to change anything lies sleeping within us.
