Keep your dream | English Story
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horseshoe in San Isidro. They have used me to use their home at fund raising events to raise funds for youth in risky events.
The last time I went there, he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use his horse. It's all about a story about a young man Who was the son of an Italian horse trainer who would leave. Steady to stable, race track to race track, ranch to farm and ranch to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was constantly interrupted. Had been. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper. He wanted to do more when he grew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse race someday. He wrote in great detail about his dream and he showed the location of all the buildings on the 200-acre farm Also made a drawing of. Stables and Tracks. He then drew a detailed floor plan for the 4,000-square-foot house that sat on the 200-acre dream farm.
"He put a big part of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it over to his teacher. Two days later he returned his paper. There was a big red F note on the front page that said, 'See me in class. after. '
"The dream boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, 'Why did I get an F?'
"The teacher said, 'This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a traveling family. You have no resources. To own a horseshoe A lot of money is required. You have to buy. Land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you have to pay large stud fees. There is no way you can ever do that. 'Then The teacher said, 'If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.'
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, 'Look son, you have to make up your mind on this. However, I think That is a very good decision. Important decision for you. '"Finally, after sitting with him for a week, the boy turned to the same paper, leaving no change.
He said, "You can keep an F and I'll keep my dream."
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "Let me tell you this story as you sit in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse farm. I still have the school paper over the chimney Poses. "He said," The best part of the story is that before two summers, the same schoolboy brought 30 children to camp at my farm for a week. " When the teacher was leaving, he said, "Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was stealing a dream. During those years I stole a lot of children's dreams. Good luck Not enough sorrow for you to abandon you. "
Moral: Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what. No dream is too big or too small when someone works hard to live it. One should always try to make dreams come true.
