If you can dream - and not make dreams your master...
...Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it...
Among the many things that separate us, human beings, from animals is the ability to dream.
In each of our personal lives, we have a profession, work hard, give up the little joys to make our own dreams come true. Some do, many don't. The results though rarely seem to be commensurate with our efforts and sacrifices. A sore point for all of us.
The young man who dreams of becoming an airline pilot, and does so, sees his personal life shattered as he spends days and nights in strange countries with strange people around him.
The scientist burning the midnight oil to find that that delta improvement in that parameter might not have been worth those hours of solitude.
The lonely guy in the factory making hundreds of thousands of an article he has no personal use of, wondering whether he will ever get to buy a BMW this way.[:P]
But take heart!
We are not working without a purpose, our sacrifices are not in vain. We are in the profession of making dreams come real, not only ours but more importantly the dreams of humanity. We are the ones who make people fly, we are the ones who help people live longer, we are the ones who help lonely souls miles across share their lives. True, at times when dreams of humanity and our personal dreams run counter to each other there is dilemma and pain, but don't forget to smile at the fact that man today has made true, things he used to fantasize about centuries ago. So keep at it, your dreams are coming to life, slowly but surely and the whole world is working for it.
