Life kills a dream.

I'm sure most of you have this experience when you were young.
When u were a small kid, when people ask you what you wanna be when u grow up in the future.
98% of us came out with answers that were quite predictable.
Doctors, lawyers, scientist............
As time goes on...........let's say 10 years later.
When the same question was thrown to us, most of us gave entirely different answers.
erm....dunno le finish my degree only say lo, Anything for me to earn my living..........
Apparently, we have lost our passion and dream. We dare not to expect much from ourself because we have experienced failure in our life.
Failure is attached to life, they cannot be separated.
If we wanna live, we have no choice but to face it.
However, failure is a very unfavorable condition to us. We tend to feel dissapointed and depressed when it happens to us.
During this time, the protective mechanism of human mind takes place.
Disappointment comes from underachieved expectation/goals.
Our mind tells us to lower our expectation in the future so that the probability to achieve our goals is higher.
The process continues as our life goes on.
In the end, we found out that the greatest achievement in our life is that we achieved almost nothing.
We are so weak that we even do not have the courage to dream.
