WE all have dreams that we want to achieve. How will we finally realize (实现) them? Take a look at Teens’ tips and you can begin to realize your dreams today.

What are your dreams? Sometimes, we may not know exactly. Sit down and make a list. List all of your hopes, either big or small. You want to take a bicycle ride around the city? Or perhaps you want to become an astronaut (宇航员)?Go to find different activities and talk to different people. You can read books. The world is full of possibilities.

I dream of walking on the moon, but I don’t actually believe that I will do it – and so, I probably won’t. I also dream of writing a novel, because I believe I can do it – I will. On the road to achieving your dreams, you have to believe you can make it. Desire (渴望) without belief (信心) will get you nowhere. Some people may laugh at your dreams. They will tell you that you should aim for something smaller. Don’t listen to them: Believe in yourself!

Achieving something takes planning. You can break your tasks into smaller pieces. In this way your dreams will look easier to reach. For example, you want to climb Qomolongma (珠穆朗玛峰). You can make a plan to run for an hour every day. You can start to take climbing classes. You can plan to climb the highest hill in your city and climb another one in the nearby city next year. Planning these steps will bring you closer to your dream.

When you have a goal, it doesn’t mean that you will get what you want at once. It takes perseverance (坚持) and hard work to get to your goal. Sometimes it’s so hard that you may want to give up. Then, always remember your dreams. For example, you really want to go to the Arctic (北极). Cut out a picture of the Arctic and put it on your mirror. Every day when you look at it you will remember to work toward your goal that day.

Not everybody can achieve every one of their dreams. But that is no excuse for not having dreams. On your way toward reaching your dreams you set goals, make plans and work hard. As you grow, you improve yourself. It will help you lead a happier life. In this way we can all achieve.
