I have posted this before, but I believe that everyone of us needs to watch this video periodically to remind ourselves that life is not a game where we simply do what is within our means, but a game of Russian Roulette, only except the fact that we get another chance when we do it wrong each time, a chance to correct our mistakes, a chance to better ourselves.

On my own part, I guess this is, once again, a wake up call that it is important to have a direction, a calling, an aim, a goal, a dream. I was once a young and driven child, but it seems that the reality of life has shredded and twisted my dreams into one that is socially conformed, where the end product is fame and fortune and prestige and what-nots.

This is a reminder for me that we should all do what we believe in, to bask in the journey off chasing and trying but not the outcome, to put in our very best because we believe in what we are doing and hold in little regard the people who tells us about how stupid or impossible it is.

And that is the very beauty of life, the chance to try, and try, and try and try and try, until we finally get it right. 

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high and life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I prayed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hopes apart

And they turn your dream to shame

Still I dream he'd come to me

That we would live the years together

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seems

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
