Chapter 22: Never Give Up Your Dreams

"I'll start with a story. Jedi and Hassan are two very good friends, and they come to a forest where they rest in front of a big tree. Jedi soon fell into his dream, but Hassan couldn't sleep, and he suddenly noticed a showy butterfly emerging from Jedi's nostrils. The butterfly flew around Jedi's head three times before heading straight for a tall pine tree nearby. Hassan was stunned as the butterfly flew around the tree three times and then flew back into Jedi's nostrils. At that moment Jedi woke up, he stood up, stretched his back, and said with a smile: 'Hassan, maybe you don't believe that I had a strange dream just now, I dreamed of a tall pine tree, a beautiful butterfly, flew around the pine tree three times, and the butterfly said to me, 'You must dig under this tree, so I started digging, and I dug up a pot of gold.'" I've never seen so much gold in my life. Hassan was taken aback and said tentatively: 'Jedi, if I were you, I would dig there.' Jedi said dismissively, 'My friend, can you still take a dream seriously?' I don't believe in it, so let's keep going.' ”

Hassan said with a serious face: 'Jedi, there may be some sign in your dream, if you don't dig it, I would like to try it.' I mean, can you sell me your dreams?' Hearing Hassan's request, Jedi burst out laughing. "Tell me, this is a no-cost deal, how much do you want to give me?" "You just said that there is a pot of gold coins buried under the tree, we are friends, I can't take advantage of you." How much do you think your dream is worth?' After a brief discussion, the two friends set the price, 300 coins. Jedi kept snickering, thinking, 'I haven't made a deal like this?' a worthless dream that sold for so much money.' Hassan, don't regret it!'

Hassan walked under the pine tree indicated by the butterfly, and did dig it up, and after a while, he saw Hassan sweating tiredly, and Jedi sat on the side and laughed secretly. Suddenly, the shovel in Hassan's hand made a muffled sound and touched something hard, Hassan took out a clay pot from the earth, opened the lid, and it was filled with yellow gold coins, and Jedi could not say a word.

Back in his hometown, Hassan used the gold coins he earned to open a small inn called 'Full of Dreams'. Jedi has always regretted that he shouldn't have betrayed his dreams, and he understands that once you sell your dreams, you can't redeem them again. After Yunlin finished telling this story, the audience was very quiet, and everyone seemed to be in thought.

Yun Lin was no longer so nervous, he asked, "What do you think of your dreams?" There was silence in the audience, and after a while, a girl stood up, she was the hot girl Yun Lin met in the workshop.

"A dream is a desire, can you do it?" said the Spice Girl with a smile.

"Yes. Yun Lin smiled back, and the hot girl sat down happily.

"A dream is a ladder that you have to climb up step by step to achieve it. A dark-skinned boy said.

"It's okay to just rub your waist once in a while. Yun Lin said to him.

"Dreams are a steering wheel that points to your purpose in life. A fair-faced boy said.

"Well said. ”

"Dreams are a load and they weigh a lot. A young man a few years older than Yunlin said.

"Should this load be abandoned?" Yun Lin asked, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the young man pondered for a moment and said, "No." There was a round of applause from the audience.

"A dream is a flower, a flower blooms, comes and goes. One girl said.

"Then this flower should be longer and more gorgeous. ”

"Dreams are a joke. The boy with curly hair said, and Yun Lin was silent. After the employee finished answering, Yunlin said:

"There are a lot of dreams, it can be a longing, it can be a steering wheel, it can be a flower, and of course it can be a joke. The key is what do you choose? If your choice is a desire, then you can rely on it, it can guide you, if you choose a flower, then you look forward to its blooming, not a flower, if you choose a steering wheel, then you have to hold on to the steering wheel and achieve the goal in your heart. If you think it's a joke, then you've lost your dream. Some people will laugh, what dreams are you talking about these days, I value money, I value power, and even girls, I just don't value dreams. Yun Lin looked at everyone and continued:

"There is a big difference between dreams and reality, especially in this era, it is difficult to find a satisfactory job, and the cruelty of society, the unsatisfactory life, the coldness of human feelings, and our own shortcomings, we have long been anxious. So, we tired shuttle through the city streets, doing nothing all day long, playing cards and drinking to spend our youth. I want to ask everyone if you have any dreams, why did you lose your dreams?" Yun Lin looked at the staff, hoping that someone would answer, and the hot girl stood up again.

"Who hasn't dreamed, I dreamed of you Engineer Lin yesterday, didn't you give us a lecture today. She laughs.

"I'm talking about dreams, not dreams. Why many people have lost their dreams. Yun Lin corrected.

"This has to be asked, fools know, because good dreams are difficult to come true. After the girl finished speaking, she sat down lively. The employees looked at Yunlin's sincere eyes, and they also stood up one after another to tell what happened to them.

"Because of my low education, no one takes it seriously. A boy said.

"That's a problem. Yun Lin said.

"I failed the college entrance examination, so I became a wage earner. ”

"It's a shame indeed. ”

"I wanted to study music, but my father said that music was learned by people like us, and we all earned some money, so I came to Shenzhen to work. ”

"It seems that your family has a lot of influence on you. ”

"I wanted to learn computer programs, but I got a girl pregnant, and I could only live a life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and my dream had stopped before I had wings. "There was laughter off the field, but more of helplessness.

"I really want to like singing, when I was a child, I had a dream to become the next Faye Wong, but no one appreciated it, I worked as a wandering singer for two years, and then I went to work in a factory. A tall girl said.

"If you don't want to be Faye Wong, it doesn't mean you can't sing, don't give up your dream. After Yun Lin finished speaking, the girl glanced at him gratefully.

"I was enthusiastic about starting a business and running a small company, but the reality was too dark, I hit a wall everywhere, no one wanted the product, and before I could register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, it was seized. A man in his 30s said.

"I wanted to be a manager, I was doing a good job in a company, and my boss said that I would be a supervisor, but because I made the wrong friend, I handed over the company's internal documents to him, which had a great impact on the company, and I almost went to prison. ”

"I was actually interested in English and wanted to be a translator, but because I was too lazy, I gave up halfway and now I only remember 26 letters. A chubby girl said.

According to the answers of the employees, Yunlin wrote down the factors of their loss of dreams on the blackboard one by one, including low education, failure, family influence, social cruelty, staggered friends, lack of initiative, lack of funds, introversion, broken love, bad image, low talent------, he finished listing these, and the chalk words have occupied half of the blackboard. "I can't imagine that there are so many factors that affect dreams, no wonder so many people lose their dreams. So which ones do you think are more important? Yun Lin pointed to the chalk words and said. The employees chose low education, lack of initiative, lack of Bole, little money, and great difficulties.

"I believe that many migrant workers complain about their poor education and low starting point, and envy those college students and graduate students, thinking that they are the protagonists of society. We have also been reluctant to complain about why we can't read well or waste our studies. Since this talent is not open to us, then God will definitely open another door to us, and finding another door is the breakthrough of our dreams. Have you ever heard that college students work part-time for elementary school students? The audience burst into laughter. "Many successful people have never gone to university, Xiang Li Ka-shing and Fok Yingdong, so low education is not the decisive factor affecting our dreams. The audience remembered the warm applause, and Yun Lin wiped off the low academic qualifications.
