(Music Box Song: Susan Boyle - I dreamed a dream)
It's a good practice for us to have dreams and hope to hold on in life. Ironically, by having these conceptual qualities, are what sets us apart from animals. Human beings are endowed with the ability to think and determine which path to choose in life. However, for animals, how many have the luxury of choice? The needs of animals are simple, for example dogs. they usually just need a place for shelter, some food and love, whereby they can feel the affection and longing with some human touch. Such desires are pure and innocent. Yet, how many of us actually stop and ponder the needs of those innocent creatures?
I shall share more on the Animals topic at my next thread.
An Inspiring Story taken from Anthony Robbin, Unlimited Power.

Have you heard about the story of the Founder of Kentury Fried Chicken, Colonel Sanders? When he started, he was nothing but a retiree with a fried-chicken recipe. That all's. No organization. No nothing'. He has owned a little restaurant that was going broke because the main highway had been routed elsewhere. When he got his first social security check, he decided he could make some money selling his chicken recipe. His first idea was to sell the recipe to restaurant owners and have them to give them a percentage of proceeds.He drove around the country, sleeping in his car, trying to find someone who would back him. He kept changing his ideas and knocking doors. He was rejected 1,009 times, and then something miraculous happened. Someone said, "Yes". The Colonel was in business.
How many of you have a recipe? How many of you have the physical power and charisma of a chunky old man in a white suit? Colonel Sanders made a fortune because he had the ability to take massive, determined action. He has the personal power necessary to produce the results he desired most. He had the ability to hear the word "no" a thousand times and still communicate to himself in a way that got him to knock on the next door, totally convinced that its could be the one where someone could say YES.
Other Inspiration stories from Successful people, example like Steven Spielbery, Michael Jordan and Walt Disney, are able to see via this LINK.
These Successful people was able to withstand all the rejection, and yet proceed with perseverance, due to their belief and never give up attitude.
As saying by Nick Vujicic from the clip, sometime in life, if you fail down, you feel that you have no strength to get back up. Do you have hope? If you fail many times, and give up, will you be able to get up again? If you fail, you will try again and again.. and again. That is not the end. Its will depend how you want it to be. Will you want to finish its strong? You will find the strength to get up one again.

But, I shall never allow myself to be defeated. I will be standing strong with an unwavering determination, propelled by strength and desire to pursue these dreams. With each step, I'm lifting myself in encouragement to overcome my fear. My weapons are: Proper planning, learning and never give up attitude.
Along the learning path, there are bound to have obstacles.
