DREAMS

It means different things to us all.
Its interpretation is as diverse as we all are.
Learn to appreciate your opinion about it.
No matter how hard you try you only get to appreciate it when you know what others think about it.
I was opportuned to meet two married uneducated young men from the Northern region of Nigeria,
Sanni, a Muslim from Kano and Moses, a Christian from Maiduguri,
Sanni has just one goal he dreams of achieving in life: marrying three (3) wives to the one (1) he presently has and bearing thirty seven (37) children to the three (3) he presently has. All these without any plan to have a house of his own (he intends to achieve these dreams in his father's house), while also insisting that none of his children will attend a university.
Moses, on the other hand, dreams of bearing four (4) children with the one wife he insist will be his only wife. He strongly believes all his children must attend a university so as to become a better person.
I leave you to choose which one you consider to be the better of both dreams.
The lesson here is that life comes to us in different ways and forms; we decide what we make out of it.
Like a popular saying goes; "when life gives you a lemon, you make a lemonade out of it"
For both of the above examples, their dreams are the best that they can ever aspire for.
Choose your dreams with care and a strong motivation to achieve them.
Remember, "Everything in life is possible, the only impossible thing is Nothing"
