The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"
曾经，一个非常成功的商人被问到：“你是怎样做到如此的成功？”

He replied, "I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real."
他回答：“因为我有梦想。我放飞我的心灵驰骋想象，构思我要做的事情。然后，带着这些构思进入梦乡，在梦中我再次了梦到我的梦想。第二天睡梦中醒来时，我也就找到了实现我自己梦想的方法”。

While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' "I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted." As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: "We grow great by dreams."
当其他人说“你做不到的，那不可能会实现的”。“而我却一直坚持在实现自己梦想的路。”就像美国第28届总统伍德罗·威尔逊所说的：“梦想成就伟大”。

"All big men are dreamers." They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening.
“所有伟大的人一定都是梦想家。”他们在春天的迷雾中嗅到生机，在漫长冬夜的火苗中看到希望。

Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
其实我们中的一些人却放弃了自己的梦想，但另一些人则小心翼翼的呵护着他们的梦想，哪怕历经磨难，也从未放弃，直到重见光明的那一天。所以只有那些真心希望并坚持自己梦想的人最终才能实现自己的梦想。

So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible. "Sing your songs, and dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer."
所以，请不要让任何人偷走你的梦想，更不要听信实现梦想多么遥不可及。“唱自己的歌，做自己的梦，给你的希望以希望，祈祷你自己的祈祷。”
