Different people with different dreams. Yea, we all are different people and so are our dreams, so different. Some dream of becoming rich, some dream of traveling and touring the world, some dream of having a very peaceful life, some dream of being celebrities... Some like the noise, while some like the silence.

But thinking about it now, I think if there's a dream worth dying for or worth making great sacrifices for,then it should be having or building a better life for myself and the people I love. This is beyond just having money, but having a peaceful, better, and comfortable life where I and my loved ones don't have to be anxious about anything. That dream I think is worth my time, energy, sacrifices and all.

We all know life, and we all know that good things won't/don't always come easy. There are times we have to give up certain things, take certain steps, indulge in some things, take risks and make some great decisions. And you can't run away from it, not at all. There are prices to pay, and to become successful and comfortable, you need to sacrifice. Sacrifice is the price of growth. If you have a dream that you would love to bring to reality, then you should be ready to pay the price.

Few years ago, my friend who was a medical student was complaining about how tough things are, he said he should have picked another course and all, he's comparing himself to some of our other friends who are already done in school and are enjoying life. But when we talked some more, I could see that even though it's not that easy for him, even though he's complaining he's still not ready to let go, he wants to see it to the end. I see no reason why I should encourage him because his dream is really pushing him, but then I wished him well. It shows how powerful a dream can be. Today, he's doing well for himself and is also the family doctor for most of our friends back then. He happens to be the only one who went the medical way amongst about 10-12 of us.

What I would love to add is that, in as much as dreams and pursuing them are important, then we should be careful too. It shouldn't be the one hat can affect our health or peace of mind. Because both are needed and important. Health and peace of mind isn't something to joke with, so I can say there are healthy and unhealthy dreams. There's a huge difference between dedication and obsession, same way there's a huge difference between addiction and hobbies. We shouldn't lost ourselves in our quest to make our dreams a reality, else that dream becomes meaningless later.

So, keep going, work hard, stay committed, check in on yourself, and don't give up.
