  1. to me this means that some people dream of success but don't do anything about it and the ones that make it happen work hard and put effort to it. My goals are being in architect and what i have to do is go to college and work to be an architect.

  2. I think the quote means that some dream of success but don't take action, they don't try to accomplish their dream. The just think and wish for it to happen. For this semester i want to finish it with no failing classes. How? By studying hard and staying focused.

  4. The quote means that some people always dreamed of what they want to be or what they want to do while others go and work hard to make their dreams happen. I agree because some people wishes they can do this or that while others live out their dreams. My goals for this semester is to get straight A's, and do better in school. I want to get straight A's because I never gotten straight A's before, and my brothers they always do well in school and they always had good grades. It's hard for me to get good grades and to do better in school because i like to mess around and have fun. So i'm trying to get straight A's and do better in school.

  11. The Quote is telling us to be the better people. to not just sit around and dream, but to make them come alive. For example, I have wanting to graduate early from high-school. you can cannot just day dream about it. You have to work hard at and take the right path, not the easiest.( and yes working at mcdonalds can still be a dream { to the that chose this path: [ Why? ] })~ Nyron

  13. I think it means that some people are doing what they dream and others making there dreams happen. My goals are to get good grades and finish school. How I'm going to do it is attending school and doing my work to get good grades.

  14. The quote means that when people dream of success they don't believe in themselves and others are making it happen. I agree because if i dream it then it wont happen, but if i believe in myself, it will happen. My goals for this semester is to be A B honor roll and do good in all my classes. I just have to pay attention and do my best.

  17. people who dream about being successful probably arent putting in the effort to get there while the ones who are actually are putting in work are probably at there goals doing what they love most.

  18. "some people that dream of success don't ever accomplish that dream because they want it to happen yet they don't work hard to make the dream come true.compared to people that worked really hard to make the dream happen so they accomplish more."

    My goal for this semester is to get all good grades so that i get ALL MY CREDITS BECAUSE I WANT TO GO ON TO THE 10 GRADE NEXT YEAR SO THAT I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE AND MAKE A GOOD LIVING.

  19. I think the quote means that some people just spend their time dreaming about their goals while others spend their time actually making them happen. For example, let's say two people aspired to join the NBA. One of them actually tries out to join a team and get's signed, while the other person just practices but never actually tries out. My goals for this semester is to be A B honor roll and have perfect attendance. All I need to do is show up more often and do my work and turn it in on time.
