Don't forget to dream.....




It is very important that one has a dream. When you have a dream you have a destiny. And possessing ambition and striving to reach that dream is important. Life throws many curve balls our way. Many people are disappointed on a regular basis. But the big question that remains is, “How will you handle the pressures of life?” Will we just give up our dreams and hearts desires because of certain difficulties which we face, or will we get up and persevere?


At the end of the day what you put in whilst striving to reach your dream is what you’ll get out.In order to go far in life and to reach your dreams you need to have a positive attitude. You need to see yourself in a positive light. The way you walk, talk, act and carry yourself is a reflection of who you think you are. It is also important to look after yourself, how can anyone else treat you right if you don’t treat yourself right. If you think of it, the manner in which you treat a vessel or object is based on your perception of it. I.e. if a ring is valuable to you, you would cherish and look after it to the best of your ability. The same goes for oneself, you treat yourself based on your perception of yourself. Therefore, in many circumstances perception is more powerful than reality.


Identify what you think of yourself and how you perceive yourself. Always do something to move closer to your dream and destiny. Even though life may be full of trials and it may take as much as it likes from you but it can’t take your dream. So don’t miss your moment but live it!

Try a Cliché

There are quite a few sites that encourage individuals to make use of or to simply try out a cliche. To be completely honest I am not one of those individuals who make use of cliches on a regular basis. In fact I can’t even remember when last I used one. But then again sometimes it becomes such a norm to certain individuals that you do not even realise that you’re making use of cliches as many times as certain people do.

It was rather interesting to discover how many cites encourage us to make use of all the many sayings it possesses. One of the sites which I visited is called ClichéSite.com, the site contains a whole bunch of different cliches, Euphemisms and figures of speech. The site has various different categories that you can choose from such as, Aging; Beauty, Children, Business, Jealousy, Hope and Death etc. So once you enter this site it is As Easy as Pie to find whatever you are looking for. You can either just search for the cliche or saying that you are looking for or you can choose from the list which is provided.

One of the definitions of cliches which I came across is a definition by Richard Nordquist’s. His definition is as follows; ‘A trite expression, often a figure of speech whose effectiveness has been worn out through overuse and excessive familiarity. Cliches have become such a norm or shall I rather say that it has become such an everyday thing. I think it adds some spice to a conversation, it makes it much more interesting. So why not try a cliche each and every day?
