Everybody has got a dream, regardless of how big or how small. Some individuals want to be rich and famous; others just have that dream of seeing their favorite band live. Greg Sestero’s dream was simple, he just wanted to do what he loved, act. His entire life he attempted to pursue this dream, never giving up, and one day he caught what seemed to be a lucky break. A man named Tommy Wisaeu opened an acting door for him. He offered Greg an unnamed sum of money for a simple task, act in his film. Greg did not care about the money; he just wanted his name out there so he took the deal. Little did he know he would be put through grueling hours of work and pain to have to be a part of this film. And even though he considered quitting more times than countable, he stuck through it. Not for the money, not to get his name out there like he once wanted to, but to finish what he had put his blood, sweat, and tears in to. And even though the flick turned out to be one of the worst of all time, he was still proud of what he did and what he went through. Through his perseverance he did something other people could possibly never do. Perseverance of can help a person chase their dreams, finish a harsh, unwanted task, and make them successful.
As I stated before, everyone has got a dream, even I. I want to be a director, not necessarily a good one or successful one, I just want to tell the stories written on the inside of my brain to people and hope they like them. Without perseverance, I would have no chance at taking this future plan head on. Even if it is the tiniest dream a common folk could fathom, like eating at a burger joint for the first time. If they lack the energy to take on this vision, then it will never get done and they will g...

...dened person through whatever they are put through. Constantly giving up and not pushing to get things done will not be a good ethic to have and will only cause failure in whatever they set out to do. Persevering, setting a goal, and getting it done will not give an amazing sense of work and what needs to be done, but a great sense of what they must do to survive in this constantly changing world.

Klemens argues that a good work ethic comes from passion. A productive work force must be passionate in order to produce work that is not subpar. From this passion stems commitment and hard work. Without passion
If someone wants to succeed in life and stay recognized by superiors, then he or she ought to appear hardworking. A person begins with setting goals. There are two categories, the first, “be” goals and the second, “do” goals. In other words, ask yourself, "What to be?" or "What to achieve?" Four categories of goals consist of wealth, health, relationships, and self-fulfillment which equal success. Working diligently to finish a task demonstrates how to live a successful life. Given these points, Thomas Edison, Helen Keller and Harriet Tubman, all exceptional achievers, found that prosperity undoubtedly comes along for everyone who perseveres.
In the article, “The Top 5 Reasons most people fail”, it states, “...we have to take action in order to get somewhere.” Chris Gardner needed to take action for the sake of his family. He went from door to door, and no matter how hard he tried, he was barely scraping by with the funds of his medical machine. There was an opportunity for a job at Dean Witter and Chris Gardner took the opportunity in a heartbeat. He lands a spot amongst the 20 interns competing for a paid position as a stockbroker. Chris Gardner did not know where to start however he put in as much effort he could put in to get there. When an individual takes on a big role, there is that voice in the back of the head saying they can not handle the task ahead of them. This can further lead to the feeling of depleted motivation and irresponsibility. Having the willpower to fight off the voice and conquering the task can determine a person’s grit and can further validate their

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.� Dale Carnegie believed that perseverance could overcome even the harshest obstacles. Perseverance is inspired by a purpose, an unsatisfied drive to achieve a goal. During a cataclysmic event, only people with a purpose endure.
Dreams are series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep. Dreams occur during a certain stage of sleep known as REM. Several different psychologists, including Freud and Hobson, have studied dreams. Psychologists have provided many theories as to what dreams are and the meanings behind them.
What Dreams May Come has several strong messages that unfold for the viewer. It begins with the kids dying. After the kids died, the mother got depressed and she tried to commit suicide.

“When you want what you want more than you fear what you want, you will have it.” -Alan Cohen. Just like Alan Cohen, I’ve had to learn to not fear failure of my dreams and just go for it. My dreams are one of the biggest parts of who I am. Over the past two years, I’ve realized not to be afraid and just to go for it.
For instance, look at all the busy people in the world. These people continually try to handle too many responsibilities at once. Someone cannot possibly succeed at something if they do not have the time to work efficiently on the task. Yet they persistently try to juggle too many things at once. If they were to focus on their priorities and only take on what they can, they would be able to succeed in their life. An example would be someone that works in a garden, and does not have the time to weed or care for it. The money put into that garden is eventually wasted when the time comes to harvest, and the weeds have taken over. That person persistently tried to handle too many responsibilities and it resulted in shortcomings. Failure is also evident when considering people who carry out the same routines expecting different results. This can be demonstrated by people that show animals. There are those people that want to win, but do not change their routine of practice at home. If a person does not win one year, they cannot expect to do the same thing the next year and succeed. They follow the same routine, but expect a different outcome. Thomas Edison was persistent, but proved successful because he did not persistently use the same method multiple times. He tried different experiments to get the lightbulb to work. Therefore, someone cannot expect to get a different outcome when they persistently try the

Jim carrey, a famous hollywood actor, said “Is it better to risk starving to death than surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left?” The big hollywood dream is not for everyone. However, take it from Jim carrey, a funny man even, understands dreams because he sought after his. What is left of anyone, if they never even attempt to chase their dream?
