As teenagers(青少年), you have many dreams. The dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

"Follow Your Heart" by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge.

You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what you dream is.

Don't let itleave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (逐步地)and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to (导致) better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
