i cried.
it's been really long time since i cry watching local tv production. but this time, this show made me tear.
it's a show about people who lives their dream. it's called Dare2Dream. this is the first time i'm watching it, this particular episode really touched me. it's about this guy who's a art director, working & living in NYC. he tells the story about his endeavours in the New York City pursuing his dream as an advertising specialist. when he first moved to NYC he was so broke, had to knock on every door to beg for a job and have to eat a can of beans for his Xmas day. and could not come home when his parents died. really sad. he's doing great now, in a reputable advertising agency. he has achieved his dream as a reputable art director in the most vibrant & creative city in the world.
his story really touched me. so much similarity. so much determination he has put into pursuing his dream. something he said really concurred to what i believe all the time.
"...believe in your dream, people might say your dream is crazy, and you're crazy. but believe in yourself, hold on to it. there are so many things out there, better things out there. you have to believe in yourself, do your best, go out and grab them, don't let anyone bring you down...."
really makes sense and these are my belief as well. i'm pursuing the craziest dream that you could think of. i wanna be a communication legend. a reputable branding & advertising specialist in the region and probably in the world.
many people told me, "think straight", "do within your means", "are you ready?"... some even just laughed & smirked when they hear me say things like wanna feature my face on the cover of the Fortune magazine. I usually get that when i'm on job interview. sometimes i wonder, why do they ask what is my dream? since they don't even appreciate it when i told them about my dream...
i'm still pushing, pushing myself. it's not easy. many told me so. but what is easy in this world? when everything is easy, within your reach. then what's the meaning of life? when our life is monotonous, did we really appreciate our lives as what god & our parents have given to us?
i always believe: we must be crazy once in our lifetime...we must be stupid once in our life time...we must be a mistake once in our life time. without these "silly" actions, our life will never be complete. without pushing ourselves once in our life time, our life will just be a piece of white paper, no colours, no strokes, no ink, no mark, just plain square white paper.
seriously, what have you done since you're born that makes your life different from others? what have we done that made us so proud that one day we could share the story with our children, our grand children?
i'm still pushing, i've been to the higher ground and i've been to the lowest point. but i'm still far away from my highest peak. someday, i'll be there. someday....just have to keep doing my best.
and hope everyone can believe themselves too.
our dream is our journey, our faith is our strength...there is no one else but you to decide your life, your fate and your destination.
keep it up everyone who's reading this...someday i'll meet you at your peak.
