The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, “How have you done so much in your lifetime?”
曾經有人問一個非常成功的商人“你的人生為何如此成功？”
He replied, “I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real.
他回答道：“因為我有夢想。我放飛我的心靈馳騁想象，想象我要做的事情。之後，帶著這些想象進入夢鄉，在夢裡我再次看見了我的夢想。當我第二天醒來時，我便找到了我實現夢想的途徑”。
While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' “I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted.” As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: “We grow great by dreams.
而其他人則說“你做不到，那不可能”。“而我總是堅持實現自己夢想的路。”就像美國第28屆總統伍德羅·威爾遜所說“夢想成就偉大”。
“All big men are dreamers.” They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening.
“所有偉大的人都是夢想家。”他們在春天的迷霧中看到生機，在冬日夜晚的火苗裡看到希望。
Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
而我們中的一些人卻讓夢想死去。而另一些人則養育和呵護著他們的夢想，哪怕經歷磨難，他們仍不放棄，直到有一天重見光明。所以只有那些真心希望並堅持夢想的人最終才能讓夢想成真。
So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are tooimpossible. "Sing your songs, and dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer."
因此，請不要讓任何人偷走你的夢想，或者試圖告訴你夢不可能實現。“唱自己的歌，做自己的夢，給你的希望以希望，給你的祈禱以祈禱。”
