These kinds of thoughts(想法) stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step(一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream.There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.
