Studs Terkel once said, “Why are we born? We are born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we are born, and the time we die? We are born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.” Being a dreamer means that you have no boundaries for your thoughts and actions. In other words, you do what you want to do, no matter what anyone tells you. Being a realist means that you think that you can’t do whatever you want, because it is impossible. You set boundaries on your thoughts and your attitude. Many people say that being a realist is better, because it tells you what the real truth is, or you may get hurt doing what you want to do, and it tells you that you just …show more content…
have to live with any situation, but that is the wrong attitude to have if you want to make your life meaningful.
First of all, Some people say that being a realist tells you the truth what you want to do in life, is impossible. But have you ever realized that those dreams are not so impossible after all? In the book, “The Outsiders”, on page 48, the text says, “Since
I was dreaming... I brought Mom and Dad back to life...maybe Dallas would see that there is some good in the world...” Also, in the picture book, “Mr. Ferris and His
Wheel”, the text says that George Ferris created high goals, for himself by creating the ferris wheel. In the process, he ignored what the spectators said and did what HE wanted. As a result, George chased his dream, and proved a lot of people wrong, because everybody loved the ferris wheel. People still do now. And finally, “The Outsiders” says, “I was too sleepy to pay any attention, although
Johnny didn’t have any reason to be whistling like that. He was sitting on the back steps trying to read Gone With The Wind . I had almost decided that he had dreamed the outside world, and there was nothing real...” The first quote from
“The Outsiders” shows that Pony wants to move to the country, where …show more content…
everything was good. His mom and dad were alive, and Dally would see some good in the world.
Pony just wants to get out of this Soc-Greaser mess, and start living the life he wants. Only dreamers can convince themselves that everything can be good again.
That can tell them to do what they want to do because of them being able to convince themselves that the bad things did not happen. The quotes from “Mr.
Ferris and his wheel” say that people thought that the ride that George Ferris was going to build was impossible. George didn’t care what the people said, and still made a really fun ride that wanted people to come back. Mr. Ferris did what he really wanted to do, and it worked. Finally, the last quote from “The Outsiders” tells you that Johnny was living the life then. He didn’t realize that the country was so good, but as soon as Pony and Johnny got to Windrixville, he knew that this was the life that he wanted to live. Johnny did what he wanted to do, and ended up loving it. Furthermore, Some people might say that if you are in a negative situation, that there is no way to get out of it. But actually, there is always a way to get out, and move to a better place. The book, “The Outsiders” says that Pony wants to leave the city and move to the country where the better life is. He just wants there to be, “people, ordinary people.” Along with a couple bad events, Pony’s imagination got him out of the city, and into the country, which is where he wanted to be. In the article, “Dream Big, but Be Realistic For A Successful Life”, The text says that, “Most of us grew up with big plans and dreams... Yet over time, most of these childhood fantasies and dreams are ultimately not realized. We get in better touch with our many limitations and other priorities often having to settle for something less than we had hoped for when we were young dreamers.” Finally, in the book, “Mr. Ferris And His Wheel”, the text says that Mr. Ferris moved from that place where people were saying “no” to him. He moved out of that mental state, and made a very famous and fun ride for everyone. The quote from “The
Outsiders” proves that Pony has always dreamed of living in the country where everything was good. He still used his big imagination to get himself into the country. The quote from the article tells us that as kids, we tend to dream big, and they feel like that they can achieve anything. As we get older, we tend to lose that mindset. If we keep dreaming big, great things can happen to us. Finally, The quote from “Mr. Ferris and His Wheel” proves that many people thought that it was impossible to make this great ride. He still moved out of that mental state, and made a very fun ride. Finally, Some people might say that you could harm other people, or yourself while chasing your dreams. But the reward for success is worth hurting yourself or other people. In the book, “Mr. Ferris And His Wheel”, The text says that spectators thought that this new spinning wheel was too high up, and was going to fall. They also thought that it would injure so many people. Mr. Ferris was so set on that goal of creating the world's greatest ride, that the reward felt so much more to him. Also, In the article, “Dream Big But Be Realistic For A Successful Life”, the text says that “So many people live with the disappointment that they “could have been a contender.” I often find it fascinating to ask adults what their dreams dreams were when they were young and what they thought success in life might look like for them.”.
And from that same article, the text says, “Our culture (and often our families) certainly encourages us to have big ideas, grand plans, and pursue success at the highest level. Sadly, parents sometimes saddle their unfulfilled dreams onto their children who then do the same to their children leaving a long chain of potential frustration and unhappiness. Sometimes we actually achieve these lofty goals and even more. Yet mostly we don’t.” The quote from “Mr.
Ferris And His Wheel” shows that Mr. Ferris refused to give up no matter what spectators said about his ride. Most of the comments he got were about people getting hurt. He kept his eye on the prize, and the reward felt so much more meaningful because of reasons like that. He still ignored that, and built a very sturdy, fun ride. The first quote from the article shows that So many people harm themselves because they are so disappointed that they don’t get to achieve
this awesome goal of theirs. They really wish that they were dreamers, and they could do what they wanted to do. But when they finally achieve that goal, it feels so good. The last quote from the article shows that people harm their families because they can’t make enough money because they tried to chase their dream in life. But if they try again and get it this time, it feels so good. Studs Terkel once said, “Why are we born? We are born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we are born, and the time we die? We are born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.” This quote means that realists know, and think about the truth, which is that we are all going to die at some point. But that is the wrong mindset to have if you want to make your life meaningful, and go out there, and do what you dream of doing. If you want to be a dreamer, you have to chase the things you love to do, trying to get out to a new place, and ignore what people say about harming other people. Many people say that being a realist is better, because it tells you what the real truth is, or you may get hurt doing what you want to do, and it tells you that you have to live with a situation, but that is the wrong mindset and attitude to have if you want to make your life meaningful.
