Quotes

“Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers, parents and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer but be a practical person.”
–Hugh Hefner

What a great quote from a more interesting figure in society! In general, I think that there are many people today who are trying to fulfill the dreams of others - would you agree or disagree?

On a related note, do you think that the dreams and expectations of others help us to succeed and achieve our dreams, or do you think that it hinders us? I personally think that it depends, but I think that it is best when we have someone that believes in us unconditionally, and trusts us to learn from our mistakes.

I also think that another interesting aspect to this quote is the part about being practical. This is seen by some to be in conflict with dreaming large - would you agree or disagree?
