What is a big dream?Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.
A.Family and Friends. |
B.How big Dreams Die. |
C.Does a big dream show one’s future? |
D.They simply fail until they succeed. |
E. it is the last and the most terrible barrier.
F. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.
G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p.m., because that’s when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a.m., you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1a.m.
Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disturb your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light,
They include windows, LED clocks, computer lights and cable boxes.
Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.
A.Try to avoid all sources of light. |
B.Keep the room as dark as possible. |
C.Make notes of unusual circumstances. |
D.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. |
E. Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F. In other words, sudden change sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.
G. If you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.

3. Choosing which clothes to bring is probably the hardest packing decision to make. Think once again from head to toe — hat, shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you’ve picked out what you want to bring, think carefully. Do you really need that extra pair of jeans? If so, fine.Don’t try to fool yourself. You are the one who will be left holding the bag.
4. Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it’s cold, you could wear a jacket, a - sweater, a regular shirt, and a T-shirt. Putting them on will keep you warm.
