12.Tomorrow is not promised
There is an old Spanish Proverb which states,"Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week".(32)GI'd say,too many.Our dreams should not,and can not wait.We have to go for them now!Here is why:
•Tomorrow is not promised.
Nobody likes to talk about death,but the reality is-everybody is going to die at one point.None of us know the day,or the hour.Today is all we have.(33)BDon't go to your grave(坟墓) with unfulfilled dreams.
•(34)E
You can dream about writing the greatest American play,but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper.You can dream about finding a cure for cancer,but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure.(35)CThey require you to get your head out of the clouds,and actually do the work to make them happen.Get to it!
•Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you
There are so many amazing opportunities and people waiting on you.Films Festivals,the top people in your field and all these things are waiting on you!How do you get to them?Simple.Follow your dream.(36)FYou will never see those doors if you sit around waiting on a dream to happen,instead of actually working to make it happen.
