5 ways to kill your dreams :
1. Believe in overnight success.
2. Believe someone else has the answers for you.
3. Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.
4. Believe the fault is someone else's.
5. Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.
No one in the dream can be an immediate success, success is every moment of your life to pay the effort. No one can help you arrange everything, or make decisions and may fail, but are also part of the future success. Do not think that mistakes are caused by others, the error occurred, first of all we must review their own, no one needs to be responsible for your dreams. The ultimate goal of the dream is not only to achieve, but also his process. His third method I think everyone's pursuit is not the same, not everyone climbed to the peak, some people think that life is to use a dream to achieve stability.
