Some people believe that people should follow their ambitious dreams and goals even they are not realistic, others believe that people should focus on achieving realistic goals.
支持realistic:
People dream various dreams in their lives, ambitious ones or realistic ones. As everyone can live only once, how to distribute the limited time is of great importance. Some support the idea that people should follow their dreams no matter realistic or not while others believe rapt attention should be paid to realistic goals. However, I am thoroughly convinced of the latter opinion 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 a 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 the lost of one's self-confidence. On the contrary, if the goal turns to be pretty 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, chasing relatively realistic dreams enable people be avoid of losing confidence.
Moreover, people with ambitious dreams have to break down their dreams into several steps first, that is to say, it's essential to concentrate minds on sub-goals one by one. Without the coming true of basic goals, would people never achieve the success of subsequent steps, not to mention the great ambition. Take the development of personal computer for example, the advent of ipad 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 basic but realistic goals which are prerequisite 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 great passion, he or she may have to prepare enormous amount of money in advance for a long period of time; On the contrary, as future is unforeseeable, in some extreme cases, people may die when none of the dreams comes true because too much attention has been paid on solely unrealistic dream. In other words, if one choose the goal which is more executable, such as travelling to a new city or a foreign country separately, 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 dramatically enrich their lives to a large extent.
Although it is motivating 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.
支持unrealistic:
People now tend to refer to various dreams according to the possibility of dreams coming true, that is to say, dreams can be easily divided into two simple extreme categories: realistic ones and unrealistic ones. As life is only once for each individual, how to spend the life-time becomes a primary problem. Should people solely focus on achieving realistic goals or chasing ambitious ones no matter whether they are realistic or not? As far as I am concerned, I strongly support the idea of chasing the ambitious dreams even they are unrealistic because dreams offer us energy to do everything with enthusiasm, those unrealistic but ambitious ones are not realistic at the moment rather than forever, and merely concentrating on realistic ones may kill not only creative ideas but also ambitions which might lead to the suspend of technology progress and social development.
Ambitious dreams provide people with great motive and considerable impetus. Take John Nash, the founder of the theory of Nash equilibrium, for example, he is a famous mathematical genius and devote all his life on the dream of academic achievements which seemed rather unrealistic in his research field decades ago. Thanks to Nash's persistence, the theory of Nash equilibrium became well-accepted ultimately, and it has been and surely will go on playing an important role in numerous areas in both theory and application. What's more, as it is true for all scientific research areas, without those persistent dreams and seemingly crazy ideas, there would never be so much cutting-edge technology and all kinds of modern electronic products. Chasing the dream makes people full of limitless energy and great passion and drives them to be successful.
In addition, the definition of unrealistic is restricted by social development. Goals unrealistic now, to a large extent, might be realistic in the foreseeable future and this true fact should attract full attention. For example, for those living decades ago, it was totally impossible to command the cell phone just by sound; computers with no keyboards were incredible as well, not to mention the idea of operating computers and cell phone by fingers on the screen. However, we can simply realize all of them by iphone 4S and similar smart electronic goods today. Dreams may be unrealistic for a short period of time but, to a large extent, be realistic in the near future. Whether dreams are realistic or not should not be the obstruction that affect aspiring individuals.
Finally but not the least, merely focusing on realistic dreams may impose restrictions on creative mind which is an critical prerequisite factor of technology progress and social development. As human brain possesses unlimited potential, without the drive of ambitious but unrealistic dreams, one day may come when the pace of human society development dramatically slow down.
In short, thanks to the ambitions of those beautiful minds like that of Nash, aspiring people, full of motivation, can exert themselves to realize great dreams leading to both scientific and social development. |
