Arbitrary benchmarks cheat kids out of a fulfilling education.
Education is for growth and fulfillment.
I worry whether it's not really the best way to live one's life - trying to fulfill the dreams you had as a child. Maybe it's quite a backwards approach.
I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.
I'm very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill - I want to be a director and I've already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It's something very personal to me.
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there if it's received great I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received great I respect you for not.
A fulfilling life is different to each person. You have to acknowledge your dreams and not just wait for life to happen and opportunities to come knocking at your door.
My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new and perhaps more significant meaning every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.
If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21 thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.
Like dreams statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.
