Dreams

     George and Lennie had a dream. Their dream was to own their own ranch, and they wanted to live off the land. Lennie was going to have rabbits, this was the most important thing for Lennie. This dream was pretty realistic for them. They didn't ask for anything that was extreamly hard to handle or anything. The only unrealistic thing about this dream was saving money to be able to afford all of the things they wanted. Also, they wanted it at a bad time, the great depression. I think it was a reasonable dream, because they just wanted a ranch. They didn't want anything unreasonable. It is very important to have dreams for the future. If you don't have goals or dreams, you may find yourself asking what the point of working or doing anything is. If you doubt your dreams or goals you have a higher chance of not succeeding with those goals or dreams. If it takes a long to to fufil a goal or dream, you may or may not get discouraged. If the dream is what your working for, if it is what keeps you going. Then, I think you should hold on and keep working for it. If it is just a random goal you would like to achieve but it is slipping away, you should probably face reality and make a smaller version of said goal. For example, if you have a goal to work at a fortune five hundred company, but you didn't get into the prestigious school you wanted to get into, then you should probably downsize. Maybe even go back to school and get your masters degree. The reality is it is difficult to work for a fortune five hundred company, and not many jobs are available in those companies.
