Greater Than Man

Everyone says a person is only as big as their dreams. . . . Not so. Dreams themselves are thousands, millions of times greater than any person.

Because dreams are greater than people, Stephen Hawking, though paralyzed, could shake the entire world from his wheelchair with the gesture of a single finger. With just the strength of one finger, he turned the earth upside down by revealing extraordinary truths about the cosmos.

Human dreams truly become larger than the sky itself. That's why the Wright brothers dreamed of soaring through the air like birds—a dream whose fruit is today's airplane. Everything great that has happened in this world, every wonder that has been created, is fundamentally the magnificent result of dreams.

Dream. Keep some dedication alongside your dreaming, some purpose, and some effort in reserve. That's all there is to it.

No dream is impossible. It becomes impossible only when you decide for yourself that you cannot do it, that it's beyond you. Believe this: from the day you begin to doubt yourself, that very day your eyes' tender dreams start retreating, step by step.

There should be no limits to human dreaming. Let dreams be vast as the sky, deep as the ocean, profound as mountains. When dreams are small, people too become small.

Dream. When one dream breaks into ten pieces, step on those broken dream-fragments and weave ten more dreams. If you stumble and fall once, rise up ten times. Gold is never purified without burning; a child never learns to walk without falling. Without taking kicks, does a person ever become truly human?

You are truly alive only as long as you dream. Your eyes have sight only as long as they hold the vision to dream. The day you stop dreaming, from that day you are truly blind, sightless—living dead.
