"You have to have a dream or you go nowhere"
John, a very brilliant student from one of the best universities in the world aspiring to become the one of the worlds greatest scientist whereas Mark his other twin is also a very brilliant student just wants to complete his studies, as he was forced by his parents, get a job and carry on with his life. These are two very brilliant brothers with different thinking. This is their story.
John is a hard worker always having a positive attitude at doing his work and never complains about assignments as he knew that this is what he really wanted. He has a very high concentration levels during classes, even when the lesson gets very dull and where half the class would be lying their heads on the desks checking their inner eyelid. He likes to do revision and make himself notes during free periods. This is where his twin will take advantage of him, by copying his notes which were very useful. John is always approached by his campus mates for help which he will do with sincerity. His campus mates always looked up to him for his attitude and discipline. John is the class genius.
His twin Mark, on the other hand, is the direct opposite of him, carefree and although not being interested in sciences, he still studies hard as he do not want to disappoint the apple of his eyes, his parents. Their parent has invested alot of money for their studies as the believe that education is the base of success. Mark, has always been dreaming of becoming a professional soccer player and representing his country while at that. His future looks bright when he was selected for the national team under-16s but his dreams was shattered like a glass shattering onto the ceramic floor when his parents decided to opt him out and forced him to continue with his studies at this university. However, he believes that no one can stop other peoples dreams so he decided to continue to train and become better. He wanted to prove to his parents that he could make it. He is popular among his campus friends for his charisma.
After two intensive years passed, the twins finally returned home to Singapore after completing their studies in Brisbane, Australia. John has accomplished alot since. Whereas, Mark, who also accomplished quite a handful but on two aspects, academics and soccer.
John, just after a few weeks returning to Singapore, he was head-hunted. He was offered a contract to join one of the top research companies in Singapore. He accepted it. John became closer to his dream each day like water flowing on a river without no obstructions and problems to stop him. He kept going on.
Mark still has not got a job since graduation a few months ago. One day, Mark got a letter from Sydney, Australia. He thought that it was a letter that would offer him a contract and help him get this over with but it was not. It was a letter that will change his life forever.
The letter wrote,
Dear Mark,
I am one of the scouts from Sydney Football Club. I have noticed you playing and training over at the university over the two years. I can see that you have amazing potential to be a successful athlete one day as you have the talent and attitude. I am willing to offer you a trial at our academy for a week. You will be offered a contract if they are interested in you. This was the last chance that he would get to pursue his dream. He left town.
Twenty odd years passed. Alot has happened during these twenty years. Both the twins are now matured accomplished individuals. Both of them has achieved their dreams. Their parents hope. The world's idol.
John is currently the world's most famous scientist. Some people compared him to the all time favorite, Albert Einstein. Others regard him as Earth's savior. He has invented a machine that will destroy greenhouse gases and preventing global warming. John has his own research center where he conducts his researches with his other fifty men. He left his job as he knew that chances and funds were limited and he could not do 'big' projects there. He is also the author of the best-selling book, "Dreams" where his ever popular quote lies. "You have to have a dream or you go nowhere".
Mark is now just about to end his illustrious career as a professional footballer and now working as a part time coach for Singapore's under-16 national team where his favourite quote is "you have to have a dream or you go nowhere". He has become the idol of many, particularly young boys aspiring to be like him.
This is a story that shows that dreams is an important weapon to success. Dreams may or may not be going your way but it will drive you to continue and is the one that will lead you the way to success. Without dreams you will go nowhere. That is because "you have to have a dream or you go nowhere".
