When
we stop dreaming?
Doing
lessons in different classes in different tipology of schools, we
realized that most students
dream less as they
grow up.
Why?
Because we are surrounded by so-called “dreams wreckers”.
They
are everywhere: at home, among friends, at school, on the street,
hidden between the lines of newspaper articles, in the tv news.
People who provide advice based on their personal experience, done at
other times, ways and places. We are
invaded by the armies of dreams demolition.
They teach us to walk on known and
safe paths,
but these paths do not lead to our very personal dreams, to
our
idea of success.
If
we let our dreams fade under the blows of hammers, we may no longer
see them
and then not being able to turn on all those attitudes to achieve,
with the effect of changing road and reach the safe path of others.
People
tend to emulate, to follow the example and the history of the record
for the mile explains it very well. For years, many athletes have
tried to break down the record for the mile race trying to get under
four minutes without
succeeding,
even increasing the conviction of improvised gurus who claimed that
it was impossible for the human physique to exceed that record. Roger
Bannister, however, changed the path, he was convinced he could do it
and the belief turned into concrete behaviour,
that is, the search for new means of training to achieve the goal. In
1954 he obtained the record. But the most surprising thing is what
happened after: in the following year were made by other athletes
over three hundred repetitions of the record. Among these not only
great players like Kip Keino, but also college students. This means
that when an extraordinary performance proves to
be
feasible, it
increases
in all the
people
the belief that they can achieve the desired result. It
removea
a barrier and opens the door to commitment.
Too
many times we claim commitment by young people without
giving
them a perspective.
It is always useful to tie the present, the
effort for
a goal, to
a
dream. This method
inspires a
person to
a deliberate
practice, making
him or her
able to achieve a goal, trying to break down the mental barriers as
much as possible. This
is the absolute power of dreaming.
