Chase your dreams

Last month, I wrote a blog post from an Android phone for the first time using my HTC Dream. Just a trivia, the HTC Dream was the first phone in the market that used the Android OS. During the last days of the same month, I bought the twin of my dream phone Nexus One – the HTC Desire.

Two days before August ended, I rewarded myself by buying an airplane ticket to Hong Kong. Since early August, I’ve been obsessed by the idea of going to Hong Kong or Singapore. There were countless nights when I slept late just to read Hong Kong and Singapore online travelogues.

In these two instances lie something common – I chased my dreams. I think it’s safe to assume that everyone of us has a set of dreams and aspirations in life but I believe I dream more compared to an average person, and you can, too. I must admit that my dreams are my motivation. The more I dream (postscript: I think obsess is a better word for me) about something, the more I work hard to attain it.

You don’t have start small. Don’t be afraid to try every opportunity that comes into your way that might help you reach your dream, no matter how big they are. Last July, there was this opportunity to work for the Google Word of Mouth project. At first I was hesitant to try it. I was starting to doubt my capabilities. Eventually, I gave it a try and fortunately I succeeded. Not only did I gain experience but I also got a chance to meet and work with interesting and inspiring people (including Googlers).

Chase your dreams! For those who are still confused on how to do it, here’s an article from eHow: How to Chase your Dream.
