Dreams.

Today came a best-seller writer at my school to introduce his new book, and I asked him what would someone who chases their own dreams do. I recognized myself in his younger high school self, a lazy student who had grades such as Cs in italian; now he's a worldwide famous writer. To my question he answered that you have to insist, insist, insist. To not think about the present but what you want to do in your future. Look forward.

Now the future scares me a little bit... I'm sure of my dreams and I'll pursue them, but I really don't know what to expect. Yes, I'm afraid, but I'm really looking forward and I can't wait to play the game.
I refuse to believe that if we do nothing right now, in that twisted and stupid system we call school, we'll do nothing in the future aswell. I absolutely reject this idea, no matter how much is going to cost me. And I've been told this by a kid with a dream, who was a regardless student then, and as an adult now he won two of the most important literary awards in the world.

He inspired me a lot this morning, I hope that anyone who reads this will somehow understand and be inspired too, especially if that somebody's pursueing their dreams just like me.
To quote uncle Steve: "stay hungry, stay foolish". And insist, insist, insist.

  2. Regardless what ever it is you want to achieve in your life you've got to work hard to get it.. and the great thing is you are still super young!.. if you start planning it now I'm sure you'll be there at your 20s... I've changed my mind so many times of what I want to do that I lost myself in different things and got nowhere.. Now I now what I want and I'm working to get it, but still I kind of figure it out until I was 23 years old and I'm still doubting if it's the right choice, sometimes...
    The hardest thing is discovering "WHAT" you want to do.. when you have the answer just go for it...
    I always find extremely inspiring people that got succesful by working hard, like this author you're talking about.. but you didn't mention his name, who is he?
