The story goes that two friends are walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they have an argument, and one friend slap the other one in the face. The one is hurt, but without saying anything, he writes in the sand: "Today my best friend slaps me in the face." They keep on walking until they find an oasis and they decide to take a bath. The one who has been slapped gets stuck(被卡在） in the mire and starts drowning, but the friend saves him. After he recovers from the near drowning, he writes on a stone: "Today my best friend saves my life." His friend askes him, "After I hurt you, you write in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?" He replies: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand, the winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in a stone，therefore，no wind can ever erase it." Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits on the stone. |

If you can dream it, you can do it. I don’t know what that dream is that you have. I don’t care how disappointing it might be as you’re working toward that dream. But that dream that you’re holding in your mind – it’s possible. Some of you already know that it’s hard. It’s not easy. It’s hard changing your life. In the process of chasing your dreams, you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There will be moments when you are going to doubt yourself. You’ll say, “Why? Why is this happening to me? I’m just trying to take care of my children, and my mother. I’m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. How did this have to happen to me?” For those of you who have experienced some hardships – don’t give up on your dream. The rough times are gonna come, but they will not stay, they will come to pass. Many of you fail to seek your purpose in life and you should. You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable. You fill your life with excuses and "I can't." Many great companies were conceived from a dream, nurtured in a garage or basement and grew to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Why not you? Why not your dream? The only true limits you experience in life are those you create or those you allow others to impose upon you. If you can dream it, you can do it! Dreaming is the easy part. Acting on the dream is harder. Recognize that a dream is a journey. On the simplest level, it takes commitment, time, desire, and courage. But rarely is something great easily realized. Dreaming is recognizing and embracing the potential for greatness and seeking it in all areas of your life. Believe in your dreams and your ability to accomplish them. Keep your dreams in front of you. I'm here to challenge you to reach for your dream. Do not be afraid to dream. Never forget, if you can dream it, you can do it!

Dear son... The day that you see me old and I am already not， have patience and try to understand me … If I get dirty when eating… if I cannot dress… have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If， when I speak to you，I repeat the same things thousand and one times… Do not interrupt me… listen to me When you were small， I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep… When I do not want to have a shower，neither shame me nor scold me…Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented， in order that you wanted to bath… When you see my ignorance on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile… I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good， to dress well… to confront life… When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it， do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me… |
