Dream

There are various definitions for dream, but for the purpose of clarity and simplicity, I will adopt the Advanced Oxford Dictionary definition, which describes "dream" as the "ambition or ideal, especially when it is unrealistic."
So, that is the aspect of the dream which that I chose to talk about.

I had a dream. Actually I have a dream.
When I first came to this state-owned enterprise, I felt upset because that was not what I had expected to face with.
I was so confused about the future. I told myself, "I want a change." 
My uncle went to the United States last winter. He bought me many presents. Some of the presents were what I had told him to buy. The postcards.
I used them as my bookmarks. Whenever I opened my book, i would know what i wanted to do I am reminded of my dream.
Studying abroad.
But what I didn't expect either was that our company gave us, all of the emplyees who are under 35 years of age, an opportunity to further study English for some important purpose or development strategy. Sort of In a way, my dream seems to have come true.
But last week, when I told a friend about my studying-abroad dream, he replied as follows:
It is a shame that you had a dream. Now you are a person in a chair in an English class.
I realize that I am a just a dreamer and a push-over. Maybe I will never make any of my dreams to come true because, in some degree, I am so scared of change. Though I also know that change does not mean failure, I may lose out on something good, but I might gain something even better. And I know what fears me most is the fear itself.
Do you want to be a outstanding leader? Do you want to be a technician with a normal life?
Do you want that one day every valley shall to be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall to be made low, the rough places will to be made plain, and the crooked places will to be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together"?
Or do you want your little children will to one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, by the degree which they achieve or the their work, which they are on but or by the content of their personality characters?
Just remember: don't be just a dreamer. because I think that when you are old, sitting on the a chair and thinking about the your past experiences you will have been through, you will regret the hollow life you chose to live.
But by then, there will not be much time for you to re-choose a different approach.
That is why it is said that every man dies, but not every man really lives.
GOOD LUCK.

Interesting passage. If your dream is coming true, then how is that a bad thing?
