Dream Bigger, Go Further
When I was a child,/my grandmother told me/that money can disappear. She owned a company on Karafuto,/now called Sakhalin,/but lost it/when the Soviet Army invaded. She said,/“If you have money,/you should buy books/because you will profit from the knowledge/they give you.”
I watched the Apollo moon landing on TV/with my grandfather. I was impressed/by how thrilled he was. I wanted to delight him again,/so I purchased a book about rockets/and showed it to him. He smiled. My grandfather’s smile was/behind my dream.
In junior high school,/a teacher commanded me/to study and stop daydreaming about rockets. The teacher said/I was not a genius/and my dreams wouldn’t come true. He said,/“Anyway,/you can’t do it.” I was devastated.
Sometimes/people criticize your dreams. Their words undermine your confidence. Instead,/making money may become your objective/to impress others. This is unfortunate. We can eventually do things/that we can’t do at first. When someone discourages you by saying,/“Anyway,/you can’t do it,”/that person hasn’t made an attempt. When we can’t see the future,/we give up. Society would be better/without/“Anyway,/you can’t do it.”
We only have one life/and we should make it worthwhile. If not,/why were we born/into this world? And missteps are important for us/to make strides. We grow through our mistakes. They help us improve. This is a positive situation.
We were not born to surrender/or rely on others/to do our work. We were born to create,/flourish and reach our potential. Don’t look for reasons/why you can’t do something. Instead,/find reasons/to help you reach your goals. If you do this,/you will achieve your dreams/and inspire the next generation.
Sometimes we do things/that we think/will make us wealthy. But I believe/it is better to focus on/what fascinates you. This will help you/fulfill your dreams and succeed. I have loved rockets all my life. But in the beginning,/people/who had no background in rockets/told me/that my dream was hopeless.
When I was a child,/my mother told me,/if I endeavored/and really yearned to achieve my dream,/then I would succeed. I was convinced by her words. Dream bigger/and pass your dreams/to the next generation. You can do it!
