Dreams...

Can inspire us and lead us to roads never been through before. They can lead us into taking drastic decisions, happy decisions, uncalled for decisions, meeting new people and going through life-changing experiences.

A dream can be lived in every moment of our lives, such as students who aim to do well in their studies and achieve a particular job in life, inspired by their parents, an episode in their lives, friends or also packing up and starting afresh or pursuing further studies, job and travel experiences in a totally different country and a new culture.

Dreams can give a person that impetus to move on in life, an aim to work hard at to achieve. They can give a person hope, courage but also despair if they fail to materialise.

A man who died for his dreams was Martin Luther King Jnr whose words continue to reverberate even in today's so-called modern society...

I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.
