To follow your dreams

I look into an ocean of eyes. Eyes full of uncertainty about what is to come. People without guides who stare at me expectantly. Our graduation. Shouldn't it be something beautiful? Free finally? And yet I look into faces full of fear, full of worry. I turn away. I take a deep breath and slowly begin to read my speech:  

"Each of us has dreams, desires, longings for something. And yet very few of you know what you are doing now. Apprenticeship? Study? A year abroad? Opinions and views are flooding in from everywhere. 'Study, otherwise you'll never get anywhere, you have to earn money! Or at least an apprenticeship! You need a foundation for life, you have to build up an existence!'

But, but what about our dreams? You have dreams, I have dreams.

But why should we follow our dreams? Sometimes it seems so far away, we meet with ignorance. 'Don't you want to end up successful?' And then doubts define our actions. But don't let nobody tell you who to be!

Dreams, these dreams are so important. They are a guide to your happiness, chase them.

If you follow them, a passion will rule you. You will burn. It takes that fire for you to get up in the morning and start working towards happiness. It takes this fire for you to chase your dreams even in the evening. This fire is passion. It will reach you as soon as you begin the journey to make your dreams a reality. And isn't it more important to burn for something than to do the same thing day in, day out, only to sit at night unhappy with your oh-so-successful life?

Many people come alive through dreams for the first time in their lives. A Happy life. Isn't that more important than success?

The journey to achieving your dreams will not be easy. But you will meet people on this journey who are burning for the same thing as you. Together you can light a fire, turn your dreams into reality. Good friends, good conversations. Worth much more than a big car, don't you think?

You, you are the most important part of it. Do you know yourself? No one wants a job that doesn't match up to their interests. Chase your dreams!

Each time you will find yourself, on the way to your dreams. Each time you will discover new sides of yourself. You will find yourself, be amazed at how many different facets you have, how many interests.

You are much more than the car in your garage, your house or your fortune. Don't let anything overshadow your personality.

Write a story of your life that you can later tell your grandchildren, live a life that you can look back on with pride. Live a life in which you have found happiness. Only through dreams can you tell stories. If you follow them, they will become stories that you have really experienced. Nothing lets you write so many stories of your own life as following your dreams. Let your grandchildren say, I want to be like that.

´He chased his dreams against all odds, he lived a complete life.'

Live your dream!

And as long as you're happy doing what you're doing nobody can tell you you're not successful. Success is being happy with your own life. To have spent your life happily, to have followed your dreams.

A successful job, a successful career, money, all of that is great.

But the most important thing is to follow your dreams.”
