I believe everyone has a dream, and these dreams vary from person to person. Realizing your own dream is not an easy task; it’s much harder than you might think. No matter how hard you try, there are times when you only seem to fail and feel like giving up.
That’s how I feel right now. My dream was to become wealthy. To achieve this, I worked tirelessly at any job, no matter how tough, to save money.
However, in my country, the wages are so low that a day’s salary only covers a day’s food expenses. Therefore, it was difficult for me to save. Eventually, I thought working in my country was not enough, so I decided to go abroad and work in China. I worked in China for a year, but I wasn’t able to save as much as I had hoped. Despite my efforts, I was disappointed that I didn’t accumulate much money. Then, feeling that everything was pointless and futile, I returned to my country and spent my days aimlessly.
One day, a friend who came to visit said, “The most important thing in the world is to be happy.” Hearing this, I had a realization. I had always worked for money, but I never felt happy. I’m not saying money isn’t important. What I mean is that feeling “happy” is more important than money. So now, my dream has changed. It’s not about becoming rich, but about being happy.
When I think about the happiest time in my life, I remember my childhood. As a child, I spent carefree days swimming in the river with friends for about five hours each day – it was so much fun. I wish I could go back to those days, but that’s impossible.
My current dream is to return to the village where I lived during my childhood and live there until I die. I am working hard now to make this dream come true.
What are your dreams? Do they truly make you happy? Are they really what you want to do?
Let’s all work hard and not give up, no matter how tough it gets, to achieve our dreams.
