Your dreams can be any passion or hobby, if it's a relatively fleeting one that's fine too. I restored a motorcycle last year, it was a great outlet, but I wasn't actually very into riding it in the end and dropped it. Onto the next one.

You like fine dining and look forward to a new restaurant every week? That's the equivalent of a dream to some people.

I think you're right in the sense that this U.S. notion of "exceptionalism" is also expected of individuals on both a professional and personal level, and "never forget your dreams" can really be reduced to "work to live, not live to work".

Well, then my "dream" is to play MtG and lay in bed reading random stuff on the Internet. Seems like too broad of a definition :)


who is to judge?

it is the parents and societies job to develop your ambitions. if you don't have any then that's not your failure, but ours.
