What is a big dream?    小题1:   Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to.    小题2:   Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
   小题3:   
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world.   小题4:   In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.   小题5:  

A．How Big Dreams Die

B．Family and Friends

C．Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.

D．Does a big dream show one’s future?

E. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
F. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
G. They simply fail until they succeed.
