1、我们的梦想追求 许多人只是活着而已，他们没有目标、欲望或抱负。他们也许在人生的某个时候有过雄心壮志，但是却遭遇了绝望、曲折和失败。片刻后他们就自甘不再上天摘星，而是安于尘俗。 画家、雕塑家、建筑师兼诗人的米开朗基罗?博那罗蒂曾说：“于吾辈众人，危之大者，不在目标之高而难达，在过低而易就。” 在大多数情况下，我们每个人伸手可及的目标远远多于我们的自我感知。但我们屈服于平庸，自甘于接受远低于我们的能力所及。 孩提时代， 我们敢于梦想；及至成人，面对现实生活我们放弃了愿景，把它视为虚幻的可能。我们不再生活，不再学习，不再进取，过早迎来人生的夭亡，令人羞愧。我们满足于只去少取，而将争取更多的努力视为不
2、值一为。获取伟大目标的可能于是化为自我抉择的无法成就之欲念。我们自暴自弃，将梦想和可能皆予丢弃。哦，因为恐惧和缺乏雄心，多少伟业目标未曾发现，多少可能机遇憾遭埋没。也许你曾遇到过这样一些人，他们对你和你的能力缺乏信心，他们对你坦言相告的梦想或愿景表示怀疑。你并非别人所看到的你，而是你自己的所思所为。他人无法控制你的梦想和愿景，也无法减损你的欲求向往。只有你自己才是你生活追求的主宰。或许有些梦想和愿景反映的是你的自私野心，因此会遭到他人的怨恨。你的有些成就展现的或许是发展成长，而另外一些则可能会证明有妒忌之心。有些宏愿的实施也许只涉及寥寥几人，但却会惠及许多人。我们应该谨慎抉择我们的抱负理想，将
3、利好了然于胸，方可付诸实现，因为只有冠绝群峰的高远梦想会惠及他人，受到众人瞻仰，并且经久不衰。我们的许多成就是我们离开这个世界时留下的遗产。但是许多人却从未在生前受用过他们希望留下的遗产。小奥利佛W霍姆斯曾经说过，“许多人直到死时也没能唱出他们心中的歌儿。 何以如此?往往是因为他们总是在为受用生活做准备。等到察觉时为时已晚。” 无论我们年龄多大，我们都应该始终有设定的目标，且渴望不断地进取，追寻梦想和愿景。梦想不只是年轻人的所为。生命不息，进取不止。只要一息尚存，我们就要学会尽情地享受生活，直到咽下最后一口气。活着，就该活得愉快，让死亡充满许多意义丰盈的受用生活的气息，并让人们羡慕我们受用过的
4、生活，而不是我们积累下来的财物。 没有人会不带旅行指南或地图贸然上路旅行，踏上通达目的地的道路。所以，在生活的历程中我们不可不设目标，不可不紧跟梦想的指引。 记住，只要一息尚存，你就还没有到达终点。不要忘记，今天的作为就是构成你追求过的梦想的要件。因此，要设定目标并带着激情和愿景去行动，使设定的目标成为你生命的一部分和传世永存的未来遗产。“财物”将会被遗忘，但你的功业将使你永垂不朽。 1.
