Blog9: Dream

In this blog, I want to talk something about dreams. What is the dream? You can say “I dream a dream”. You can say “I have a dream”. You also can say “I have achieved a dream”. In different situations, “dream” represents different symbols, but there is one thing in common. That is, dream is the hope. This hope maybe is small. Just like eat a delicious meal. This hope maybe is splendid. Just like the ambition to change this world. No matter what the dream is, it is our own decision. I think every dream has its reason to exist. Why? It is because every dream could have significant meaning for certain persons. Even though the dream is merely to drink a cup of water, perhaps it is a tiny thing for you, but it could be the only and invaluable dream for an adventurer who gets lost in a desert.

What are my dreams in the university? I think they are quite simple. First of all, I want to keep a healthy body. In my opinion, regardless of staying in any circumstance, we should give the first priority to “health”. There is Chinese proverb saying, ”health is the prerequisite for doing anything (身体是革命的本钱) ”. Without health, even though we have countless money, I do not think we could lead a happy life. I love playing tennis. I will stick to this hobby. After all, playing it is not only wholesome, but could help me to get CCA. We only have one time to live. From the time our mothers tolerated an immeasurable pain to give us life, we should know that we are not only living for ourselves, but for the people who love and worry about us. Thus, to some degree, we carry a responsibility to take good care of ourselves. Second, I want to get a good result in my study. I do not agree with someone’s idea that study is suffering and useless compared with “communicational ability”; instead, I think it is the study that gives avenge people an equal opportunity to fulfill their self-worth and help them to live better. I know in the world, some people, like Bill Gates and Ma Yun, have enough aptitude in a certain area, so the tertiary experience may only postpone their time to succeed. Nevertheless, I do not think I am a person like them. Therefore, I really cherish this opportunity. Third, I want to cultivate my social skills. In the contemporary society, we need to cooperate with others and become a competent teammate. This age is no longer the time when our life could be changed by a single person. On the contrary, nowadays, the advancement of technology should be based on collaboration and optimal distribution of the labor resource. I could remember in my Chinese university, a senior once told me that “if you only study well in the university, you are not a winner.” Every moment what he said fleshed through my mind, I cannot help but to reflect my life, encouraging myself to become a well-rounded person. Last but not least, I want to have romantic love. In the past 18 years, I did not dare to touch it and bravely pursue it. Now, I will no longer cover my emotion. From my perspective, without love, a person’s university experience is not intact. Maybe this comment is too absolute, because in many cases, love is a kind of destiny(缘分). Of course, I will not force myself to get love for the sake of drawing away loneliness or using it as a symbol of becoming mature. I am very serious and prudent about love. I hope this love could become my one but the only one love in my lifetime. Love could give us excessive happiness, but it could also badly hurt us. No matter what the result is, when I graduate from university, at least, I could say that there “is” or “was” a girl that let me want to do anything for her.

After reading the above paragraph, you may think jiangze’ s dreams are quite commonplace. This is me. I do not want to have sensations. What I want to have is just leading a peaceful life with the people who I love deeply.

“There is no perfection only life”. (Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness Of Being) Cherish what we ever had. Enjoy what we already have. Pursue what we want to have. Forget what we cannot have. This is the life, filling with unpredictable changes but happiness and love never leave us away!
