Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that .It is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important.

About the year 1900, a dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance., and above all, he knew how to make people
laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years later, this same Chaplin became the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian in the world. Any regular visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin’s films. People everywhere have seen and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy his films, because they are mostly silent.
