英语专业晨读美文-励志篇 2. Dreams

[00:02.27]Dreams

[00:06.23]To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams.

[00:10.80]But dreaming alone isn't enough,

[00:12.90]you must believe in your dreams and you must act.

[00:15.77]Without action, even the most grand of dreams evaporate 1 into the air

[00:20.65]when left unnurtured in the misty 2 realms of the mind.

[00:24.13]Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go it alone.

[00:27.62]Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown.

[00:31.24]As you dance your dreams into reality,

[00:33.68]those who can't hear the music may think you a fool.

[00:36.47]Pay no heed 3 to those who would kill your dreams;

[00:39.59]small minds always do that. Great minds will encourage you that

[00:43.61]you can become great too.

[00:45.16]Afraid you haven't got what it takes?

[00:47.46]Then get it! Feed your mind the mental food it hungers for.

[00:50.89]There was a dog breeder who had two dogs that raced every weekend.

[00:54.62]He took bets and always won. One week he'd bet on his black dog,

[00:59.50]and the black dog would win. The next week he'd bet on the white dog,

[01:03.14]and folks seeing the black dog win the week before would bet,

[01:06.28]but this time the white dog would win. Why?

[01:08.80]One week he'd feed the dog he wanted to win a grand diet,

[01:12.26]and just give the other dog enough to survive.

[01:14.93]The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race.

[01:19.07]Your mind is the same way;

[01:20.94]it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it.

[01:23.81]The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage,

[01:28.05]knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams,

[01:31.55]or keep you from them. You can build your mind up or tear it down.

[01:35.29]The choice is yours and you make it every day.

[01:38.11]Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams?

[01:41.23]Have you been waiting for the right circumstances

[01:44.03]to reach for your dreams?

[01:45.42]Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams?

[01:48.73]My, you're patient, aren't you? You could be waiting forever, you know.

[01:53.87]Time is an illusion 4. Circumstances are what you make them.

[01:58.02]Opportunity is a whisper that waits for your invitation,

[02:01.66]it doesn't burst in and shout its arrival.

[02:04.21]Now is the right time. Circumstances change when you take action.

[02:09.08]Opportunity is yours for the making.

[02:11.97]So what are you really waiting for?
