[@omaralkammash9225]

I think it depends on what kind of "dreams" you have. For example, if you dream about eradicating world poverty, the poor will actually care, but if its some personal dream, very few would.

[@luther7541]

@@omaralkammash9225 I doubt it. Most poor people would not be able to participate in that long-term process. They are mostly overwhelmed by short-term problems and thus would rather get some money now to spend now. Anyway, you are the one who wants it and you are doing to it to feel good for yourself.

[@omaralkammash9225]

@@luther7541 Maybe, but what I mean is that you might have some dreams that would matter to others, if the same dream is shared. Martin luther King would make a perfect example, I don't think that the black community would neglect his dream, and I belive many Afro American activists would consider him as a role model.

[@ltraina3353]

I would add 2 things: 1. Not everybody is going to like you, and that’s fine. Even the most likable, honest person will have at least one person who dislikes them. Nobody has 100% approval rating, so don’t get upset by that. 2. You will meet some people that you don’t like, for whatever reason. And that’s fine. Disliking them doesn’t mean you can’t get along with them, or at least act cordially. If their behavior is truly out of line, let them know, privately if possible, don’t be afraid to set boundaries. 3. It’s harder to make close friends as an adult. When young, you have plenty of time and opportunity to hang out, so it generally happens naturally. As adults, you have less free time and so many things competing for your attention: family, work, exercise, hobbies, etc. You have to make an effort to maintain friendships or cultivate new ones, or else you’ll drift apart. And 4: while you are ultimately responsible for your self and your happiness, it always helps to have people in your corner.

Okay let's put a pin in this one right now. Everyone who doubts you will NOT always come back around. That bully might stay a bully for his (their) entire life, regardless of what you do with yourself. That girl (or boy?)who didn't want to date you will NOT always come back around, and they shouldn't. People choose you for their own reasons. You do not earn them like tokens for your progress in life. Your accomplishments don't entitle you to be chosen by someone. That choice belongs to the person for their own reasons. I'm commenting on this because I see this opinion as the seed to having a really bad attitude when you do accomplish things in life and people DO NOT CHANGE like you hope they would. You can spend a lifetime trying to make things work with certain people. It's not supposed to be that hard. Find new people.

Lovely. Truly good advice. Thank you, sir. I’m reminded of a time one of my nieces lamented that life might be meaningless. That it might have no purpose under the sun. I told her, if that’s true then lucky for us! That means this indifferent universe of ours has inadvertently given us each a blank canvas and a lifetime supply of paint. We get to GIVE meaning to life! We’re not assigned a purpose; We create our own from scratch. And while we could certainly scrutinize this analogy with discussion over canvas conditions and available paint colors, etc., it can’t be disputed that you’ll be happier if you do (at least the majority of) your own painting, you stand behind everything you paint (your convictions are yours, made from scratch using pensive consideration, and not merely inherited, borrowed, or adopted and then rehearsed from time to time), and most importantly, if you always remember that you’re allowed to change your mind. Always. Right up to the moment you die, after which you’ll either be a spirit in some sort of new realm (a scenario that’s simply pointless to worry about here in this life) or you’ll have cashed in on the second inadvertent gift from our bleak and meaningless universe: accidental mercy via non-existence. Instead of judgment day, a peaceful, painless, worry-free, dreamless sleep. Just like the awesome nap you had before you were born. And that -following a lifetime of giving meaning to the otherwise potentially meaningless- that’s still worth living for, don’t you think? Plus, if this is all just a pop quiz in God’s great classroom, then I have a strong hunch it’s not fill-in-the-blank, nor is it multiple-choice. They’re not collecting bingo cards or balance sheets at the pearly gates. It’s a single essay question and your entire lifetime is your answer. And having given meaning to that life and others, whenever and wherever it seemed meaning was missing, will earn you an A+ for sure. Now let’s just hope he doesn’t grade on the curve. Thanks again.

But I don't have all that because I fought hard, it's mostly because I got extremely lucky. I was fortunate enough to inherit some traits from my parents that allowed me to "make it" in the profession I wanted, I was fortunate enough to have my parents around to nurture my natural talents and shape me in a positive way, I was fortunate enough to be born in a country with public healthcare and good public schools, so even though I'm from a poor family (grew up in a rented studio in a shitty neighborhood), I could still have the stability and opportunities that aren't as broadly available in most parts of the world.

“Many people stop reading after college" About this, I think reading itself isn't the virtue implied by this statement; I think the deep introspection and critical thinking required to develop an understanding of a written medium's dialogue without being shown it explicitly, is the value that is implied with it. I say this, because I don't read a lot, but I feel this way in mediums that are more "accessible" to me like movies, video games, and youtube videos (some more than others). What do you think, is this a wise statement, or do I need to pick up a book?

[@Well_away]

You're right nowadays it doesn't have to be a book I mean, you can learn now from the movies you watch,video games, videos and some informative sites. The habit of reading and learning is what makes sense to it. But others read or watch something just for entertainment not really learning anything

[@hspurr5922]

It sounds to me like you've ticked all the ones about knowing yourself! I think it should more be inferred as keep learning, or pick up something new or mentally challenging. After all, re-reading the Harry Potters for the millionth time isn't going to improve you as a person, no matter how much you enjoy them. Perhaps a middle ground would be wondering around a bookshop or doing a reading quiz online and see what sorts of topics catch your eye or are completely alien to you and then watch videos on them?

Learn to not be so self centered and selfish!! Learn from your mistakes. Find what your good at/a skilled trade before your 21. Educate yourself. Be an Asset to your family rather than a Liability! Learn the word Respect. Don't be a Follower. Be a positive mentor to anyone. Do what makes you happy. Find hobbies. Life will always be a challenge that makes you stronger.

It's kind of discouraging how important reading seems to be when I'm dyslexic so it takes so much time and effort compared to typical readers. Audio books just don't feel the same though, so I may have to just bite the bullet and struggle for a bit because I really used to enjoy reading.

[@tonycarpaccio9550]

I'm a lawyer and I despise reading. I haven't read a book or even tried in five years or so. I don't think it's "important" whatsoever, although reading is crucial for my job. I find that my friends who read a lot speak always in reference to concepts that come from what they've read, this appears limiting to me and lacking in creativity.

[@shortycareface9678]

I've experienced most of these to be true besides the one about people "usually coming around" when you do something noteworthy. Similar to your dream, most people don't give a hoot, and even when they notice, ifs not like they necessarily are gonna reach out and mention it to you. I'm the same way, in most cases; occasionally I catch a glimpse of what someone I used to know are doing now... doesn't mean I'd ever consider reaching out. It's more "good for them" and move on. I've been fortunate enough to regain touch with a few people I knew back in the days that way, but it's a rare thing that should be cherished when it happens.

[@patmccaffery1543]

It's your life. YOU are here for the here and now. Do what makes you happy, don't hurt anyone, if you have nothing nice to say about someone, say nothing. Life is a gift and you only get one....there will be sad times, but there will be more happier times. Smile at someone you don't know and they will smile back (you've just made someone happy). Even turning a different corner can alter your lifes path....but it was meant to be. This may sound strange, but read one chapter of a book every day...every single day (without fail) and you'll see a difference in yourself in a few months. You will expand your vocabulary, you will become more confident and people will pick up on it....trust me, and I challenge you to come back to me and tell me it didn't happen....good luck.

I really like the tip about knowing yourself. If you know how you learn, and what your strengths and weaknesses are, you can manipulate them to your benefit.

[@k27ism]

In theory, i been doing this for three years and all i can say is you will have a tendency to show observer bias. You might have a good idea of who you are but then weigh that to real life. How often again will you use your strength into the future unless you develop another strength, or how well do you know your environment that it will exploit that same weakness. Over time the best thing each one of us can develop is patience, trust, hard work and endurance. I don't know everything nor claim to do so, but i can understand that wherever we are in this life or around the world even, whatever we face each day if we humble ourselves and face our fears or boredem it can reflect our true character content.

[@Malt454]

No one HAS to care about your dream as much as you do; it's no reflection on the value of the dream. Everyone who doubts you will always come back around? Sorry, complete nonsense, and you shouldn't want, wait for, or need their validation.

[@nenakills]

I'm not sure he's saying to wait for them. I think when you reach your definition of success because you are in your own power, people see that and feel it. They naturally are attracted to you. That doesn't mean you have to accept them back. If it conflicts with letting go of people and things that dont serve you than make that decision appropriately. Choices. Perspective.

[@Malt454]

@@nenakills - I think the idea presupposes that the doubters are going to hang around to somehow someday validate you - the kid who used to bully you and the girl who wouldn't date you have their own lives to live and decisions to make too; whether for good or bad, people do move on. Karma is a religious/philosophical idea, not a physical fact. There are people who continually doubted you who will never know, or care, whether you ever became a success and who you will never see again; such is life. The idea that they'll come back in some situation where you're suddenly in the driver's seat, much less that "it ALWAYS happens that way" and "ALL the doubters will eventually come asking for help" is just a huge leap for me, particularly when you should "just stay focused on you" anyway. Some people would say that success is the best revenge, but truly successful people don't worry about things as petty as revenge. It just seems like an odd inclusion in the list, when other people's doubts should be the least of your concerns in any case.
