【Y or N】Some people believe that people should follow their ambitious dreams and goals even they are notrealistic, others believe that people should focus on achieving realistic goals.
People hold different dreams in their lives, ambitious ones or realistic ones. As life is only once for every person, how to distribute the limited time is of great importance. Some support the idea that people should follow their dreams no matter how realistic they are while others believe more attention should be paid on achieving realistic goals. However, I am convinced of the latter because of reasons listed below.
First, achieving realistic goals brings about confidence which is indispensible in the pursuit of dreams, like career target or higher test score. For example, in the study of foreign language, setting the target of memorizing 10,000 new words within two days is ambitious but also virtually rather impossible, it may result in high pressure and losing one's self-confidence. On the contrary, if the goal turns to a more realistic one, such as mastering basic words for daily communication within two months, one will not only be capable of speaking a foreign language but also accumulate confidence for the future. Therefore, it is better for people to chase realistic dreams to avoid losing confidence.
Moreover, people with ambitious dreams have to break down their dreams into several steps first, that is to say, people need to concentrate their minds on sub-goals one by one. Without the coming true of primary basic goals, would never achieve the success of subsequent steps. Take the development of personal computers for example, the advent of ipad technology is almost unimaginable for people living decades ago, it was not realistic at all to manufacture computers without actual keyboards and mouse which also weight so light. However, by focusing on different realistic sub-goals, from touch screens to portable devices, people made it! Consequently, it is more important to focus on realistic goals which are essential for final success.
Admittedly, the majority of people may have more than one dream within their life-time. By achieving dreams which are realistic, people could have enough time to chase others resulting in experience of wonderful lives. If one wants to travel around the world with ambition, he or she may have to save money for a long period of time; as future is unforeseeable, in some extreme cases, people may even die before the money is prepared enough. Instead, if one choose the goal which is more executable, such as travelling to a new city or a foreign country, the dream may come true within a few years or even months. What's more, after achieving it, people still have plenty of time left to chase other dreams which enrich their lives to a large extent.
Although it is motivate for people to chase their ambitious dreams no matter how unrealistic they are, still, I strongly support the idea to chase more realistic ones which can lead people into colorful lives with in limited life-time. |
