I’m a dreamer.  An eternally optimistic dreamer.  That’s me.  My dad always said I’d get in trouble for being so optimistic.  I’m still waiting.

“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’”
George Bernard Shaw

You cannot dream yourself into a character: you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

“The only real failure in life is the failure to try.”

“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.”

  6. I’m a dreamer too….and very optimistic most times. It pays off in the long run. And like you say ‘trouble being optimistic’…I’m still waiting too.
