Be a doer, not a dreamer

"I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, engaged, powerful people, are busy doing. Dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change." A lot of people are going to tell you to "Follow your dreams. Listen to your spirit. Change the world. Make your mark. Find your inner voice and make it sing. Embrace failure. Dream. Dream and dream big. As a matter of fact, dream and don't stop dreaming until all of your dreams come true." It's not completely false. But success isn't the fairytale that's being romanticized by the media and by biographies. If you wanna achieve something, start doing and stop dreaming. "I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, engaged, powerful people, are busy doing...So, Lesson One, I guess, is: Ditch the dream and be a doer, not a dreamer."
