Dream for Free!

I just saw the video of Susan Boyle when she was stepped into the stage of British Got Talent for the first time. When Simon asked for her age, she answered 47 and everybody laugh at her. Then Simon asked again, “What’s the dream?” Without hesitation she answered, “I think to be a professional singer.” Once again everyone laugh. Simon asked again, “Who you like to be as successful as?” Once again without hesitation she answered, “Elaine Page” and everyone laugh even louder.
But…
When she starts singing, i bet that no one will ever laughs at her again like before.
Here’s the video!



I’ve read tons of books. Most of the book teaches us to chase our dream while we are young. Salah satu buku yang terkenal bahkan bilang usia keemasan kita adalah sampai umur 25, saat itulah kita harus mengejar impian kita.
But then again, I found out that dream is something that you have to carry on for a lifetime. Sometimes dream is the only thing that keeps you alive.
Semua orang besar di dunia adalah pemimpi besar.
Sebut saja Orville and Wilbur Wright, Einstein, Martin Luther King, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo Davinci, Dr. Seuss, Charles Dickens, Mahatma Gandhi, John Newton, Mother Theresa. Semuanya adalah pemimpi.

Edgar Cayce once said, “Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.”
No matter how old are you, don’t let your dream go wilt. :)
