Dreams and Pursuit

Dreams, dreams and dreams. Everything has a start and also an end but a dream lacks one, the end. Our dreams can never end, but it will if one chooses to. People pursue their dreams endlessly while the dreams elaborate themselves, and that is why dreams will not end. In this process there is the dreaming and the pursuing, where the hard part is the pursuing. Pursuing our dreams require courage, perseverance, willpower as well as confidence. Courage to start and bring ourselves to the challenge; Perseverance to carry on and endure hardships; Willpower to drive our conviction and achieve our wants; Confidence to assure our mind and let us march forth with chests puffed out! Walt. Disney had said, "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them" If we do not chase for it who will, because opportunities do not come, opportunities welcome.

Everyone desires for something, that is why they chase and pursue, that is also why they dream. Again I'm going to tell a story from One Piece about a man, or you could say a fishman. His name is Tom, a shipwright who pursued his dream with confidence and courage. He is a man who will stand by his beliefs and protect his dreams. The story started when he thought of building a train, not just an ordinary train, a sea train that can travel on the seas. This was to help his town's economics by advancing their trading business. Although half way through something happened to him, the government officials came and charged him of a heavy crime. The building of the ship, Jolly Roger, the pirate king's ship. He went and pleaded for an extension of his execution to after he had finished building his train instead of giving up. His willpower prolonged his life and helped to complete his dream. After a few years his dream has finally came true and the sea train came into existence. That was also the day he was about to lose his life for his execution takes place. He went to court and met the judges. The situation is grim and filled with tension. People around him did not wish for his death as well for his creation prospered the island and benefited the world. The judges then uttered something after a moment of silence," Tom, charged guilty of creating the pirate's king ship Jolly Roger but then spared as he had helped the island's economy and benefited the world and deemed sinless" The crowd jumped with joy after hearing that and tears of joys started to well up in Tom's eyes. Here, his perseverance bore the fruits of his efforts and gave him joy. Just when things starts to turn better, his disciple was now charged for making ships with weapons of destruction, although they are not meant for harm an accident happened and the ships had started to attack the officials at bay. Tom then said,"If what I had done today was to forgive my crime ten years ago, can I use it t forgive my disciple's instead?" His disciple started crying and denying the request of his beloved master but nothing can be done. Then the disciple started saying,"No ship that does... stuff like that... IS ANY SHIP OF MINE!!!" but his master hit is disciple for the very first time shouting, ""Not your ship," Franky?!!". Then Franky the disciple shouted back in retort saying, "What's wrong with saying that?!! I regret them, now!!! If I hadn't made those ships, nobody would have gotten hurt!!!". His master then said,"No matter what kind... of ship you choose to create, there lies no "good" or "evil" in it...!! I don't care what you want to make in the future!! ... But, no matter who the ship you made hurts!! No matter how much ruin it brings to the world...!!! The father of that ship must love it as no one else does!!! The father of that ship must not deny it is his!!! Don't blame the ship!! A MAN MUST BE PROUD OF THE SHIPS HE BUILDS!!!!" Tom then protected his disciple and was shot down by one of the marines around and lost his life and he had also protected something precious, the value of an ever growing dream his disciple had that he is trying to pursue. Tom had then pursued his dream with courage and made it happen and had protected other's dreams and desires. This shows that it can be done, a dream can be made true if one pursues and protect their beliefs.
