Ambition And Reality
Kevinmd.com

I think the most used expression of our day is “I wish.” The English proverb says, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." Wishing does not metamorphose into reality unless it’s barked by corresponding action. A lot of people tend to be deluded by the Disney world notion. This is where everything falls in place beautifully without any stress. Thus it should come on a silver platter. Trust me; you would linger in your dreams.

Ask someone what he or she desires to be and you would enjoy the harmony of the answers: doctor, lawyer, banker, writer and other professions. The follow up question then comes, how do you become a doctor? And they do not have any idea at all. The first step to reality is information. If one desires to pursue a career, it is incumbent on him or her to get all the information there is on their dreams. This will give the path to follow for the ambition to materialize. The knowledge of this influences ones approach to his dream.

Discipline cannot be done away with in having wishing turn into reality. It is a personal resolve to do things at their right time. Indiscipline is costly because it kills dreams. Talents untapped, jobs lost and all negativity is at a result of procrastination, laziness, corruption among others which are all fruits of indiscipline. To be what you desire, discipline is required.

Communication skills is essential in realizing dreams as well. It has been made easier and faster through a lot of social networking platforms. Talking about Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Viber, the list goes on and on. Conveying thoughts, ideas, experiences, documents, information is fun. However, this media of the language use have restricted amounts of words you communicate with. Some have 150 words, others 100 and even less. For example, "How are you?" in a text now would be "hw r u?" because the person would want to write more words to communicate with the limited required. Most of the users of this platform are the young folks. As a result,academic writing has been the sufferer of this canker. The writing of poor structured essays is more prevalent. Wrong spellings, misplaced word use, dangling and uncoordinated ideas, and the use of the alphabets to represent words.To remediate this, I think young people must take opportunity of these platforms to develop mastery over the English language.

Finally, passion keeps you on, come what may. No one is supposed to determine what you should be whether parents, friends, movies or music. It must be a personal drive to pursuing that. In this way, you do not blame anyone if things are not smooth. Passion makes you determined to achieve at all costs.

Disney world is for recreation not realization.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
