2.2. How to Connect Our Dreams with Our Skills and a Market Opportunity?

Having dreams is important once it moves us ahead and makes us believe in something, taking dynamic
actions guided by our thoughts. In a very simple way, we know that this moving forward drives us to
development, achievements and allow us to growth as individuals, at personal and professional level.
Knowing this, as a common sense way of thinking, we should and could take dreams to the maximum
level, the highest peak in our lives, giving the best of us and, who knows, influence others to do the
same. This can be the difference between excitement and apathy, between doing something with our
lives or just live the life as is, with no goals.

What if dreams are not there to guide us? This is, again, a matter of choice. A strong believe that we
have something to give out there, in a positive and contributory way, solving existing problems and
overcoming challenges is not only exciting, but reveals a sense of mission and fulfilment. Where there
are no dreams there is no hope, there is no active and creative thinking. Proactivity is replaced by
resignation.
