Question

    We all admit that dreams play a very important part in our life. They can influence every aspect of our life. Almost every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. With their rich imagination, they will come up with fantastic dreams. History is full of examples. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized(排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else's in his time.

Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. Their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to humans besides making money for themselves.

Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Sanders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company(KFC)in the world.

You are never too young or too old to dream and to make your dreams come true. Be brave enough to have a wonderful dream which can lead to wonderful results sooner or later.
