CheekY Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 some people say if you really want something with all your heart you’ll get it…do dreams really come true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Not by just "wanting" ... a lot of things have to be in place for a "dream" to come true. On a similar token I also believe just working hard won't land one success ( Working hard ... key to success?... skittles I know you've seen that ) I think both ways of thinking are not realistic.

angel4hope Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 YES they do---if u work hard and do your best no matter what anyone says---my dream was to get into a good college-ucla--or ucirvine---i knew i was gonna get in somewhere somehow no matter what--i worked really hard and although didnt get into ucla--got into uci--which is also a great school!! what matters is that i know i working harder towards a greater goal--my career/education and i really dont care when others try 2 put me down--it only makes me stronger!

ExtraHye Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I agree with Angel, anything in life is possible as long as you work hard to achieve it. Reach for the stars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 YES they do---if u work hard and do your best no matter what anyone says ... anything in life is possible as long as you work hard to achieve it.Come on people!!!! Doesn't matter how much I dream about NBA and work hard ... doesn't matter if I spent the last 27 years shooting baskets day and night and practicing drills, I would NOT be in NBA today. I could also never be a horse jockey doesn't matter how much I dreamt of being one or worked hard to be one. These notion of "dream and you can have" and "work hard and you can achieve" are all nice and romantic when told from parent to child, teacher to student, priest to parishoner but in real life, they don't mean much.

CheekY Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 so you're saying i'm wasting my time fighting for what i want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Maybe. All I am saying is just because you are "fighting for what you want" doesn't mean you will succeed or that what you are doing is right. Of course for a LOT of things we are dreaming of, we have to work hard for to them. That is not what I am disputing. Things just don't fall into our laps most of the time. But we have to pick our "battles" wisely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 liar lira liar liar liar.don't believe anything Sip says. I am going to prove him wrong and show him that I am going to be the first NBA star who is also a jockey on weekends. I just need me really big horse to carry my weight and super high hill tennis shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted you can't be an NBA basketball player, but you could play the game very well. Who do you think would do better in life. A student that worked real hard and got very good grades, or the one that partied all day and night. You need three things in order to succeed in life... Goals, Hard work and Luck...

angel4hope Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 some pple i think are confusing somethings--such as dreams and fantasies-- theres a big differenc--for example- my dream is to get a phd in psychology and become involved in research studies at NYU-be successful, havw a great family and live decently--but my fantasy would be to become a great supermodel and have 5 cars and a house in every country and date fred durst---difference being--i know that if i work hard i can get my phd in psych and become succesful--but no matter how hard i try--i dont have the body fit 4 a supermodel and the gutts 2 stand all the criticism--and besides although i can work out and what not or become anorexic--im not about to give up my identity to become some image on a billboard--and no matter what i do i know im not going to ever be able to date fred durst--for example--because come on--thats a bit of a stretch--my point being that one can have dreams and one can have fantasies--and theres a big difference between the two--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 --i know that if i work hard i can get my phd in psych and become succesfulI have known a lot of peple that "work hard" ... VERY hard ... but some don't become successful at all. And as far as Ph.D. .... if only "working hard" was the requirement, so many would have Ph.D.s It's a lot more than that. Sure in some cases you can "work hard" and make employee of the month at the local market bagging groceries for people month after month. You can get awards and bonuses and maybe promotions that are in place to encourage hard work to begin with. But with Ph.D (using as an example), you don't "get" a Ph.D. ... you become one. That takes a lot more than just hard work. Oh but don't lose that attitude ... working hard is definitely a big part of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOTH Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Too bad that many sometimes choose the easy way when if they would have worked at it just a bit they would have something to show for it and have some satisfaction in taking the effort that they had achieved something worthwhile...too often we are just lazy and complacent...and thus don't grow and learn and experience where we could have really benefitted...for just a little effort and a little care and concern...but we often just settle into the tried and true - what we know/are familair with...and so often we are oblivious to what we have lost in doing so...ignorance may be bliss...but it is still ignorance...and the person that cannot be bothered with making the effort to achieve and experience something new...well they might as well just grow old and die...

Sip Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 ...well they might as well just grow old and die...we all grow old and we all die. I just know I haven't really slept in 3 days and I am still far from being sucessful where this project is concerned!!! Just an hour ago I realized I had been running in circles for the last 36 hours ... ah only if hard work meant success ... then at least I'd have something to show for my numb fingers and tired eyes!!!!! But I'm getting there ... just a bit of the old brain and I'm back in busiiness. It's amazing how a little thought (which I should have put in before I started the hard work) can go SUCH a long way.

Azat Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Sip jan, you are still thinking that hard work does not pay off? The ONLY way to succeed and make dreams reality is through hard work. Weather it is hard work in school or on the basketball court or on the runway and the toilet bowl(throwing up). Hard work is all it takes Sip jan, why do you think one of the most prestigious schools in the US, while they will not even let me on campus (okay lets forget that naked run through Administration hall for a minute) I know why. One reason only, because I did not work as hard as you in school. Secret to dreams is education and hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 (edited) We all die but not everyone grow old. 36 hours ????? If I don't sleep 1 day, it would take me over 2 week to repair it. Hos is it possible to not sleep for 3 days? Do you mean not sleep at all?

DominO123 Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Secret to dreams is education and hard work. This is not always true, unlike what you may think, chances play a lot in this as well. When I say a lot, it is A LOT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Do you mean not sleep at all No I've had about 2-3 hours of "rest" per "day" but when my mind is racing focused on a single problem, at least I rarely get a good sleep. I always want to jump back in and try to do it ... but then the muscles just say NO way. I think I've produced more bug-free code in the last 72 hours than most people working for big companies do in a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
