The Conflict Between Dreams and Reality 5, The Conflict Between Dreams and Reality

Dreams are just what you want to achieve.

And reality is the distance between you and your goal.

Do you understand?

Focus on reality and grasp dreams. It's too hypocritical to not be down-to-earth and talk about dreams!

The balance between the two is practice.

The truest thoughts in your heart. What makes you care more is more important.

Keep your mind on the sky and walk the path under your feet.

In the past, I always thought that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between ideals and reality.

In order to live, we have to give up our dreams to fulfill reality, do things we don't like to do, and get along with people we don't like. It wasn't until I watched Joe's speech at Stanford University that I realized how shallow my views were, and the rhetoric imposed on my life was just a justification for my own mediocrity, just a footnote for most people to follow the crowd.

In fact, it's not that we don't have the time and opportunity to do what we like, but we don't do what we like to the extreme, but we don't want to "waste" our time and energy on things that have little effect or "useless".

In fact, the ideal is not unattainable, but the time and energy we have put in are far from enough to knock on the door of success.

According to Steve Jobs, those little bits and pieces of life will connect your future path. What you are doing at the moment may not be able to see its meaning in a short period of time, but as long as you persist and accumulate sand into a tower, these seemingly insignificant things will reflect its unique value. Your future is hidden in your past, and the roads you have walked, the people you have met, the books you have read, will meet you in another way one day in the future.

Therefore, don't let every day get by, whether poor or rich, whether low or peak, you should not treat every day with the mentality of "passing the time", suffering often breeds wealth, failure also contains a huge turnaround, and the peak may be a trough. We can't control our fate, because life is full of uncertainties, but cause and effect are hidden in what we do every day, and the only thing we can change is the present, at this moment, what you have sown, what you will reap in the future.

Be kind to every day and live every day to the fullest, your life will be full, and if you live every day wonderfully, your future will be wonderful.

Jobs said, "If you believe that these bits and pieces will connect your future path, you will have the confidence to follow your heart." You can only be satisfied if you believe that the work you are doing is great, and the only criterion for whether your work is meaningful is love. ”

Do what you love to do, do it with all your might, and when you're immersed in it, you bring out a lot of potential, and when you have that feeling and you can burn that passion, day after day, year after year, you're going to succeed.

There is only one kind of reality, and it is reality, but there are two kinds of dreams, one is a dream of oneself and the other is a dream outside of oneself. Reality will only contradict the second dream, close to the first. Changing reality and realizing your dreams requires your own efforts.

We can have many dreams for ourselves, and as long as we work hard, the dreams will become reality. If reality contradicts your dreams about yourself, the root cause is that you are not trying hard enough or your dreams are out of reality. We can only be full of dreams for ourselves and rely on ourselves to achieve our dreams, we should not have too many dreams for others and hope that others will work hard to achieve your dreams.

There will always be a gap between the so-called reality and dreams, so there will always be some contradictions between the two, but in reality, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be far from your dreams.

Lu Yao said: "In this world, not everything that is reasonable and beautiful can exist or be realized according to one's own wishes. ”

Life is not what people want, it is not what we think, life will treat us. If it backfires, other arrangements may be made.

In life, sometimes there are fantasies that should not be had, the reason is that some fantasies are too beautiful, so that they constantly numb themselves, once they get out of the world of fantasy, they will enter the reality, and they will be greeted by helplessness and pain.

The dream has been shattered, and the dream built up little by little, in the end, it was shattered, as if falling into the abyss, these years, slowly coming out of the abyss, it is time to ** everything.

I have deeply experienced the contest between reality and dreams, some dreams are vulnerable in the face of reality, since the dream is broken, then create another dream, as long as you are alive, there is the possibility of realization.

Some dreams are unrealistic and ambitious, how can they be realized. Without something that is built up in a down-to-earth manner, it cannot form spiritual and material support. ”

Some dreams come out step by step through down-to-earth, and finally the dream blooms, but before that, it is possible to reap the harvest only if you pay for it.

The dream is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. "If the dream is defeated by reality, don't be discouraged, after all, there is more than one dream of Lao Di, and this one cannot be realized, so try another one.

Daydreaming is very beautiful, but it can't be done by pure old age, it is easy to distinguish between truth and falsehood after a long time, and it is intoxicated in sweet dreams and cannot extricate itself.

A shattered dream is a growing experience, albeit at the cost of pain. In the contest between dreams and reality, he gradually fell out of maturity. ”

Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that it will slump from now on, and use this as an excuse to retreat, which is the real failure, and one failure does not mean that it is the case again.

The dream realized through their own efforts, what a happy thing it is, it is not easy to overcome the reality, and the happiness obtained through struggle is truly one's own.

Although the dream is far away, you can't give in to reality, you only have one life, so try it boldly.

After all, this society is not a fairy tale world, and it can turn all the beautiful things you think into reality.

For example, I want to be the boss of a company, I want to travel the world, I want to be a singer There is a "but" behind the dream, I want to start a business, but I don't know where to start? I want to travel the world, but what if my family's finances don't allow it? I want to be a singer, but I have to work, what should I do?

There is one problem that always lies between you and your dreams: the conflict between reality and ideals!

If we dig a little deeper into this question, we will find that they are not actually "conflicts", but rather the ability to live in reality that you do not have direct access to the future.

So before you go to your dreams, let's get down to reality – work. The purpose of work is "self-cultivation", where you can cultivate and gain exercise, provisions, skills, and skills.

First of all, I would like to say that ideals and reality do not necessarily conflict, so it is not necessarily necessary to balance the two.

Recently I've read a lot of people about a lot of life outlooks, or jobs, or ideals. It's nothing more than "the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny", "this society is like this, children, you wash and sleep" and a series of other can be regarded as negative energy.

Of course, most of these respondents have more life experience than me, and I am only a student after all. But that's exactly what happens, maybe mine can give you another perspective.

A president of Harvard once said that life is a long road, and you always have time to leave yourself a "back road", but don't take the "back road" at the beginning.

Maybe you're hesitating whether to do a job in the financial industry that you don't like but pay well, or to be a painter who doesn't have money or fame, but you like it. Or can you find a job that has both fish and bear's paws?

The answer is, try. If you don't try what you love, if you don't try to fulfill your dreams, one day you will feel unrich because of the lack of soul.

I believe that most of us have received the same education since childhood: you have to study hard, then get into a good university, get a good job, marry a wife, buy a house, have children, and give your children a good life. However, this kind of life, you don't have to live to the end, just listen to me say this, you may ask, and then what?

Yes, and then what? Is this the end of your life? In today's society, many people live such a life not so much under the persecution of reality as under their own compromises.

Even, I can't live such a life. Because housing prices are so expensive, the company's intermediate interest structure is too complicated, and a small fish can't swim to the center at all.

It is precisely this worldview that makes us feel scared and makes us unhappy. Because if everyone wants money, the answer can be imagined, and everyone will scramble for it. So, it's scary to live in a world where everyone gives up their ideals for the sake of reality.

Therefore, first, in order not to regret it, and secondly, in order not to let the world enter a vicious circle, do not compromise with reality. In other words, try it first, the ideal may not conflict with the reality.

Nowadays, people think that they must fight against reality for the sake of ideals, but in fact they are not necessarily correct. The key is how you position your material requirements. Some people don't have to drive a luxury car, they don't have to live in a luxury house to be happy.

Some people, if they can't buy a house in the first tier, go to the second and third tier cities. There are also people who are self-sufficient. In fact, if you are spiritually rich, the material requirements of life are not necessarily so high.
