If we want to be successful in life we should dream big. I tell youngsters if they dream big they can achieve their goals. Of course, merely dreaming big will not work but they have to work hard, too. Once I was talking to a young guy. All of us were waiting for an author, who was the chief guest of the event.

The guy looked disturbed and when I asked him the reason, he told me that he does not want to wait for the chief guest but wants to be the chief guest. I was amazed by his big dream and asked what he was doing to achieve his goal. He didn’t have an answer. He was just dreaming but not working hard for it.

We hear stories of successful people who’ve chased their dreams despite facing adversitie­s.

Albert Einstein was a late learner and couldn’t speak till the age of four. Despite this he went on to discover the photoelect­ric effect and relativity theory. Although small dreams are important, we should chase big goals to be successful. If we dream to touch the sky, we may touch the skyscraper, and if we dream to touch a skyscraper we may end up touching only a small building.
