Everyone can dream. It doesn’t cost anything to imagine a better life, a successful career, or big achievements. A child may dream of becoming a doctor, an artist, or a pilot. These dreams can be exciting and full of hope. But dreaming alone isn’t enough. What really makes a difference is how much effort and time you are ready to give to make those dreams real.

For example, imagine a student who wants to become a top engineer. That dream is free — he can picture it every day. But to get there, he has to study long hours, give up some fun, and stay focused even when it’s hard. He might fail sometimes or feel tired, but if he keeps working, he’s paying the price. That grind, that daily effort, is what turns the dream into something real. It’s tough, but it’s necessary.

Later, when he finally gets his dream job, builds something great, or helps others, all the hard work will feel worth it. He will enjoy the reward of his success because he earned it. The dream was free, but his success came from what he gave — his time, energy, and patience.
