Making wishes

A wish is an expression of desire or inclination. I think the traditional times or places to make wishes in most countries are during New Year's Eve, at a wishing well, when seeing shooting stars or blowing out candles of a birthday cake.

Sometimes when we think about our reality, we often wish that it was different because we want to make a change. But never wish something which is completely isolated from reality. The meaning of making wishes is to perhaps allow people to have new hopes and to motivate people to work harder so that they may fullfill their wishes. Your wishes will never come true if you do not take any action to achieve them.

I like this phrase "Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better". In my opinion, it means difficulties will not be smaller if you do not try your best to improve yourself. Only if you make an effort to achieve more, difficulties might be conquered.
