“You are such a dreamer,” one of the funniest insults in the history of humanity. Considering that there hasn’t been a discovery, a life-altering innovation, an awe-inspiring enterprise that did not start as a dream makes me believe that those who ditch the dreamers suffer from a limited myopic view.

I love asking kids what they want to be when they grow up. Astronauts, teachers, doctors, parents, architects, you name it. Seeing a child’s face lights up when answering is the precise representation of a soul ignited by a dream. As we grow up and become more aware of life’s challenges, we tend to either put those dreams aside for more practical answers, forgive what it feels like to have that internal desire, or just succumb to the limited belief that life is too difficult.
