We are all the same in the pursuit of our dreams

Chapter 1 Preface
We are all the same in the pursuit of our dreams

I have always believed that even if you can lose everything in life, you cannot lose your dreams.

Dreams have superpowers. It is because of the existence of dreams that we turn many impossibles into possibilities, and our lives become different.

Sometimes, we feel that the word dream is illusory, that's because we haven't found the dream, or even understand what the dream is.

On the way to pursue our dreams, we are all the same, we are all lonely and confused, and we are all looking for direction in our stumbles.

When I was in elementary school, I thought that my dream was "I want to be a scientist when I grow up" written in the composition. At that time, almost every classmate wrote like this, as if becoming a scientist is such a grand and lofty dream.

When I was in middle school, I thought that my dream was to be admitted to a key university. At that time, in the eyes of my parents and teachers, a high score was king. I liked to read and write novels after class, which was considered as idle, as if being admitted to a prestigious university was the highest. dream.

When I failed the college entrance examination and almost failed the exam, I once thought that my dreams were shattered and my life was hopeless.Under the scolding of my father and the strange eyes of my relatives, I spent a dark summer vacation.

I did not choose to repeat my studies, but went to a junior college in Yangzhou.After going to college, the greatest feeling is freedom. I can freely go to the library to borrow my favorite books, I can freely go to the reading room to spend the whole afternoon, and I can freely walk around the moat of Yangzhou aimlessly.

Freedom gave me creative inspiration. During that time, I wrote a lot of works and traveled in the world of words every day.Even though I majored in computer science, my classmates gave me puzzled eyes, and even though I tried to submit manuscripts to magazines, I still felt happy because of writing.

At that time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in my mind-writing is my dream!I want to be a writer!I love writing, and I'm willing to work on it, no matter what.

Because of this dream, I kept writing in college and published hundreds of articles. After graduation, I only looked for jobs related to writing.I hope to combine hobbies and work, so that I can work with passion and love.

In order to realize my dream, I, who was not a major, naturally had to stumble.Fall down, get up, prepare yourself, save energy, and move on.If you fall down again, get up again, analyze your strengths, weaknesses and core competitiveness through introspection and thinking, and find a platform that is more in line with your abilities.When I am not capable enough, I can only start from the most basic work. If the other party thinks that I am not qualified for book editing, I will start as a marketing planning assistant.As "Tucao Zheng" said in this book: "If you want to shoot, you must be qualified to enter the field." Since one foot has stepped into the football field of the publishing circle, even if it is just a substitute player sitting on the bench , I believe that as long as I keep working hard and constantly improving myself, I will get closer and closer to my dream, and one day I will realize my dream.

"Like all poets who use dreams as horses, I use this fire to spend the dark night of my life." Haizi wrote in "Using Dreams as Horses".

Dreams are my beliefs. Dreams give me strength. Dreams give me a shot in the arm from time to time. When I am most discouraged, confused and exhausted, I feel that there is an unquenchable firework shining on the road of my life. the way.

Under the guidance of my dream, I became a book desk editor from a marketing planning assistant, and then a book planning editor. Later, I became the founder of a female reading brand and served as a content director. Now, I set up a book with a few friends company.

Once, because I failed the college entrance examination, I lost myself, and my parents were discouraged and disappointed.However, jumping out of the small circle in my hometown that year, I finally know that dreams are long-term persistence, not a post-like exam-how grateful I am for the 15 years of persistence from the beginning to today, on the road of pursuing the dream of writing , I found my lost self, saw the power of confidence, and at the same time won the respect and recognition of the society.

So, what exactly is a dream?

A dream is the thing you love to do the most, a dream is the deepest desire in your heart, and a dream is something you can do whatever you can to achieve it.

Dreams are not only about hobbies and careers, but also about love, friendship, family, and life.Dreaming is the favorite way of life you can choose.

Finding a dream sometimes requires a process.There may be some detours before you can finally find your own dream.

But those detours will not be taken in vain. All the obstacles and setbacks are meaningful. Only when you know what you don’t like, will you realize what you like.

Finding your dream is only the first step, and only by persisting in your dream can you realize your dream.

If a dream is a big tree with luxuriant branches, those green branches are the small dreams extended.Realizing small dreams step by step in stages will help you build the confidence to realize your dreams.

For example, my career dream is to be an excellent publisher.Then my first step is to enter the publishing circle, and then look for opportunities to be a book editor. After becoming a book editor, I hope to be a best-selling book, and then my goal is to be able to operate a best-selling author independently, and then I hope to be an author agent. build up a brand.

In this way, because of these clear and clear little dreams at each stage, the dream will become more and more clear.Every time I realize a small dream, it will give me a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

Dreams will also bring me surprises. After I realized those small dreams, I met a few like-minded friends. We decided to work together to build a high-quality book reading brand, so we have the current White Horse Time.

Ten years have passed since I graduated from college.Because of having a dream, every day of my life is down-to-earth.

This book records the stories that my friends and I experienced in the process of pursuing our dreams, and every story is true.

We are all ordinary people. We have all kinds of dreams that are equally precious and sincere. They are not distinguished by high or low. ordinary.

On the way to pursue our dreams, we are all the same, the same confused, the same lonely, the same anxious, and the same confused.However, fortunately, those twists and turns that we have experienced have finally become the energy and nutrients for brewing dreams. In the end, we all found our own dreams, and we are still working hard for them.

Perhaps, you can also see yourself in these stories, I hope they can warm and encourage every one of you who is working hard for your dreams.

If life is a long-distance race, the goal of long-distance running is not to be faster, but to be stronger.

On the way to pursue our dreams, the most precious wealth is not the so-called success and fame in the end, but in the process, we finally accumulate and change bit by bit, gradually cultivating ourselves into a better self over time.

I would like to dedicate this book to those who are looking for their dreams, to those who have the courage to get up even if they keep falling down, and to those who are running hard on the road to pursue their dreams.
