# 29 - MIND Improvement - Hold On To Your DREAMS


....On Each & Every Day Of Your Life......and Persevere To Make It A Reality !

One common denominator of highly successful people is that they ALL have DREAMS. Their dreams is their # 1 motivator which drove them forward when they first started their venture, and their perverance in holding on to their dreams through high and low times is something which we can emulate if we too want to be successful !

All big things in this world started as a DREAM, translated into a DESIRE, transformed into ACTION and finally realised into ACHIEVEMENTS ! KLCC was a dream. Taj Mahal was a dream. Winning Thomas Cupo was a dream. But they all became reality for the dreamers who dare to dream a BIG DREAM!

Some people hate others who like to talk about dreams, especially when it involves BIG DREAMS !
And where do we normally find people who like to mention about dreams? At MLM Seminars, at Insurance/Unit Trust training or BOPs, at Motivation courses and so on......I myself sometimes find those speakers a bit over-the-top when they try to implant some impossible dreams in our mind, as if everybody can achieve the same dreams !

Am I negative just like everybody else? Sometimes I am, I got to admit. But with hindsight, I think that I was wrong to think like that. For myself and other NEGATIVE people out there, people who think that others who talk about dreams are simply DREAMERS (Angan-Angan Mat Jenin) and nothing else, LET US THINK AGAIN!

"I'm afraid you (people who like to dream impossible dreams) have gone bonkers/mad, but you know what, all great people are!"...... just to borrow Alice's words when she comforted The Hatter in Alice in Wonderland the movie. So it's OK to be perceived as mad, so long as we end up being a GREAT MAN !

But why he hated the Dreamers so much? Maybe because our own previous experinces (mostly bad ones) had turned us to reject anybody else who try to show us how to dream - how to dream a better house, a better car, a better job, a better life ?

We were not born negative. In fact when were little, we too had beautiful dreams, just that we have forgotten about it....just like the boy who had lost his marbles and could not 'fly' anymore in Peter Pan's Story.

I too used to have my own dreams when I was a boy.....and now I've forgotten most of it.

But my 2nd son (Ammar) had reminded me of how important dream is and how I too had a dream once. Ammar himself has a very BIG DREAM which is so visionary and vivid, that I feel very much obliged to fullfill it....but forgive me my dear........please give me some time, coz at them moment your Abah really can't achieve it.......

And if Allah permits, I'll get it for you my son.....SOON.....SOON.....
