All of us have dreams in this world.

Some have great dreams, some have simple ones. But who is to determine the magnitude of the dreams>_<.

one may dream that her frens be more sensitive to her feelings. she may be easy-going; does it mean that u mock at her? she's upset enough about her plight already. argument is not a gd thing. her soul is bruised. ouch.

some have big dreams. in their opinion. to become doctors. lawyers. rich businessman. or maybe for some girls, it may just be to marry a rich guy. who is allowed to judge them? u? me? does it mean that we elevate these ppl supposedly the top notch ppl in society. the apex of the mountain, the top of the pyramid.

i quote a poem that i realli like by Langston Hughes about dreams being deferred, which happens for many of us.

Harlem / To the World
What happens to a dream deferred? / What happens to a dream hastened?

Does it dry up / Does it dampen
Like a raisin in the sun? / Like a cloth soaked in water.
Or fester like a sore- / Or soothe like a lozenge-
And then run? And then walk? /
Does it stink like rotten meat? / Does it smell fragrant like blooming daisies?
Or crust and sugar over- / Or burnt crust and salt together-
Like a syrupy sweet? / Like a spoilt salty bread.

Maybe it jus sags / Maybe it just lifts
Like a heavy load. / Like a light weight.

Or does it explode? / Or does it inflate your head?
By: Langston Hughes. / By: :)

Is it true that dreams deferred are worse than dreams hastened? Many people's heads see achieving their dreams as a sign of victory and see deferring of dreams as a failure. Please, i plead that you do not think so. Maybe achieving your dream so soon is not necessairily good. you might lose it. you might get a bout of ego-inflation.

wad about dreams not achieved so quickly i see them as a blessing in disguise. you have room to dream. you have room to imagine. yes you might get upset and lost in the process. maybe even anguish. but when the end comes when you finally get the result, the waiting is worthy and the end is sweet.

dream my frens, while you still can. cos when adulthood hits. you no longer know what dreams realy mean what dreams really are.
