Being Realistic Research Paper

Although we all have an idealistic dream of a perfect life, we should always see life how it is and not how you want it to be. Dreaming big has inspired many people into creating things like no one has ever seen, however, because dreams don’t always come true people may live in a state of depression and sadness.

Although we all have an idealistic dream of a perfect life, we should always see life how it is and not how you want it to be. Dreaming big has inspired many people into creating things like no one has ever seen;however, I believe in thinking realistically since life is how it is not how you want it to be and not all dreams go as planned.

For example, when my grandmother was young, she used to dream about being surrounded by a loving family. She was an orphan. She often tells me stories about how she would lie awake at night dreaming about just that. Many kids in her orphanage used to tell her that none of them were ever going to have a life like that “Why would we?” they said, “can you not see not even our parents wanted us!” Despite all the harsh words, she kept on dreaming and overcame all her obstacles and has reached her goal. Even though your goals might seem impossible, if you dream big you might get just that.

Dreams lead to false hopes and are deceiving! That’s at least what some say. But throughout the dream unit we have seen and have read about achieving our dreams and not going the distance. It is worth it to dream because dreams give us hope and purpose, working hard at our dreams can have a great outcome, and Dreams can lead to more than we can imagine.

“I never dreamed about success, I worked for it.” Estee Lauder. This quote really sums up the reason we shouldn’t dream because dreams make us believe in things that won’t ever happen unless a person actually goes out tries to accomplish what they want to do in life. In addition sometimes when people try to accomplish their dreams it leads to terrible outcomes such as the Great Leap Forward, The 5 Year Plans, and the Holocaust as some examples.Also, it results in many people overestimate what they can do which leads to terrible outcomes.This all shows often when people try to dream it often leads to outcomes that very undesirable.

It is worth it to dream considering all the good things that happen as a result of it. Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” Speech, the Revolutionary War, and Martin Luther’s “95 thesis” all changed the world. Martin Luther King’s dream was that everyone should be treated the same way and his dream happened. Another dream was from the colonies in America who wanted freedom. They had a war with British which was called The Revolutionary War. This dreamed changed the world too. Martin Luther’s “95 thesis” also changed the world. It changed people’s view on god and their church. People might say, “Those are just a few famous dreams that changed the world. There are many other dreams that didn’t change the world.” Many dreams change the world

One reason is believe it is worth it to dream is because they make people work harder. In October Skies, the “rocket boys” failed so many times making a successful rocket that could fly. People laughed and made fun of them, telling people they couldn’t do it. They just worked harder and eventually, they finally made a successful rocket that flew. People doubting them and making fun of them just got them to work harder and prove everyone wrong.

Being realistic doesn’t mean you cannot have big dreams, it means understanding the possibilities of the outcome, and being able to accept the harsh reality. It’s better to be realistic because big dreams rarely come true.

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” That’s what J.K Rowling believes. And through the dream unit I have come to see that she was right. Why base life around a silly dream that some people have no chance of achieving. While dreaming gives people a reason to live, It is not worth it to dream because, dreams lead to false hopes, dreams can get dreamers hurt, and it is a big waste of time.

Some people don’t like to dream big for they just choose to be realistic, however being realistic is a good thing. In my opinion, i believe that being realistic is the best option you can have.

Everyone goes through a tough time on whether dreaming big or being realistic. I believe that being realistic is better because you set goals and accomplish them without being disappointed in yourself.

I tend to stop myself from pursuing idealistic concepts that have no clear plan in how they will be achieved. Some people may say that this realistic tendency of mine will stop me from achieving outlandish possibilities, however to that I say that every outlandish possibility that has become fact has had a clear achievable plan, therefore proving that they are not idealistic, but just perceived as impossible when just investigating the final outcome. And in most cases of outlandish possibilities becoming truth, the final outcome was not anticipated but was achieved through a number of achievable and underwhelming accomplishments. It is hard to state a specific example of being realistic is more of a subconscious trait, however I do believe

Everyone could either dream massive or be pragmatic, however, I would rather be realistic as you acquire to live in the authentic world instead of a fantasy land.

Everyone has their own mentality to accomplish their goals and know how to accomplish them. It’s better to be realistic because that will allow you to grow and succeed faster.

Dreaming is a very important thing in life.becoming more confident, already having a set goal and not just dreaming about it but making an effort on accomplishing your goals will change your life.Dreaming is one of the best ways to accomplish your goals.
