So there are so many kinds of people in the world. Lazy, smart,
educated, intellectual, confident, over-confident and I could go on and on.
Each one has its own view point on various things, have their own theories, and
no one can as such challenge them on anything. After all, it’s their life. Only
they know what they have gone through or are still going through. And I
strongly believe that “only you know the best way to live your life.”
Out of the so many kinds of categories of people, two specific
categories particularly amuse me- “The Realists” and “The Dreamers”. I, without
a doubt, belong to the latter group of people.
Ok, So talking about “The Realists”. As obvious from the name, they
are the ones who believe in what reality actually is and then work their way
according to the situations. They believe in what they see. And, why not?
Whatever you see with your eyes, has to be true, until and unless you are watching
some kind of magic show or something like that. Such people follow a simple
theory “You get what you work for.” For them it is either black or white. The
grey does not exist for them. Strength, will power, guts are few of the words
they like to keep on their fingertips. They say that without strength, you
can’t get through your life, to get to the love and happiness etc. (which, by
the way is true to quite some extent.) and this word always gets them through
the hard times in life.
Now, “The Dreamers” on the other hand, are the ones who work
through their dreams, as is pretty perceptible from the name itself. If they
want to get something, more than actually working towards it, they work towards
their belief that they will get it no matter what! And many a times, it has
been seen that if you really believe in something, your belief does turn out to
be true sooner or later. Dream, believe, faith are the few of the words, these
people live by. For them, your belief stands equal to the hard work you do. If you
do something, in which you do not believe, you are never going to like doing it
and chances are that you might not even achieve it (pretty much true again!). Even in "The Alchemist", the author says "When you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it". The Alchemist is a story all about a boy who believes in his dreams and in the end gets all that he wants.
I am the biggest DREAMER/DAY-DREAMER you will ever meet (or at
least I claim to be). All that I have achieved till date, more than actually
working towards it, I have actually dreamed my way through it. I literally mean
it! And I thing I am sure of, even if I had worked hard, put in all my
strength, I would have been at the same place where I am today, because that is
exactly where I am destined to be! I have been dreaming all my life, and, touch
wood; I have seen my dreams coming true. Yay J I, feel so happy
and privileged to be a part of this clique.
So who stand strong in life- “The Realists” or “The Dreamers”? Can we really answer that? No. its just that
they both have a different way of living their life and it is not that they
acquire any of these two qualities living their life. They are born as one of
them. They both pave their way to success. So we can’t really decide on who’s
better and who’s not. We just have to remember that whatever comes in life, we
have to face it with dignity and not behave like losers. Life is all about
living and enjoying it, be it the dreamer way or the realist way.
