Quoted from Zig Ziglar
Motivation is needed to change the costume of the dream to the work clothes of reality based on the goals generated by the dream.
In one of the US major universities a professor of economics gave a test to his class. The test had several sections of questions, each of which contained three categories of questions. He instructed the students to choose one question from each section on the test. The first category in each section was the hardest and was worth 50 points. The second category in each section was not quite as hard and worth 40 points. The third category in each section was the easiest and worth only 30 points.
When the students had taken the test and all the papers had been turned in, the students who had chosen the hardest questions, or the 50-point questions, were given A's. The students who had chosen the 40-point questions were given B's, and the students choosing the 30-point questions, or the easiest questions, were given C's. Whether or not their answers were correct was not considered. Understandably, the students were confused and asked the professor how he had graded the exam. The professor leaned back and with a smile explained, "I wasn't testing your knowledge. I was testing your aim."
I believe it was Browning who said, "Your reach should exceed your grasp, or what's a heaven for?" Langston Hughes wrote, "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die then life is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." Yes, we need those dreams or, if you prefer a vision. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Pro.29:18 KJV). Helen Keller was asked the question, "What would be worse than being blind?" She responded that it would be definitely worse to have 20/20 eyesight and no vision than to be blind but have that vision.
In the declining years of his life, Albert Schweitzer was asked, "How goes it with you, Dr Schweitzer?" The aging medical missionary responded, "My eyesight grows dim, but my vision is clearer than ever."

Do you have a vision, a dream or plan for your child? Does your child has a vision, dream or plan of his own? If he doesn't have any, then help him to establish one. That is our role as parent. If you don't have a vision or dream for yourself, you may want to start having one now. It is never too late to have one.
Pull your dreams into the daylight,
And give them wings to fly.
Get on that runway called life.
Then takeoff toward the sky.
The future of success is waiting.
This is “your” life, live it. -
