When we think about the dreams we have, and the foot
12、print we want to leave in the universe, it i s striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen. So Im here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams._ You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and
13、 sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know, the story may seem real, but I bet its incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a masters on the topic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years. This is really interesting. I myself have
14、a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think its an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that
15、, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything youve done in your life through that moment._ Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path
16、you should take: And let me tell you, go through this pipe. But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are
17、infinite and youre going to bump your head, and its a part of the process._ So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywher
18、e in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it, over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When youre growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and f
19、ind yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and thats great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. Thats why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a hig
20、her peak. Theres no time to settle down._ I constantly see people saying, Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest. Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didnt go well. Or, I cant find good talent; my team is so below expectations. If you h
21、ave dreams, its your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them ha
22、ppen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didnt make them happen, its your fault and no one elses. Be responsible for your dreams._ Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that th
23、ey were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? Im going to celebrate, so, Yes! We made it, were at the top! Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, Okay, lets go down. Life is never about the
24、 goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, its a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life
25、 is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. Thats the best way.三、句型转换（共1题；共4分）22.He is likely to win the first prize in the English contest. (句型转换） _ _ _ _ he will win the first prize in the English contest.四、翻译（共1题；共2分）23.To his anger, th

Because if you want to chang
28、e, if you want to let go and move on with your life, youre the only person who can make it happen. Distance yourself for a while. Sometimes you need to take several steps back in order to become aware of a situation. _Why? Because you can return to where you started and see things with a new set of
29、eyes. Focus only on what can be changed. Realize that not everything in life is meant to be adjusted or perfectly understood. _And if you cant change something you dont like, change the way you think about it. _To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and he

56、ase of population, in the 1980s the government of China began to put into practice the family programme- one child for each couple. As a result, most families have only one child. The child in the family can get more love from the family and chances to get better education. On the other hand, the only child is selfish, and not so independent. Sometimes they feel lonely. I think, every the only child like me should learn to make more friends. Hope that we write more often. Best wishes!
