"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one." James Anthony Froude.
Dreams are, ultimately, nothing more than an attempt by the brain to decieve itself, to persuade the rational side to be irrational, to believe in the impossible, to hope for that which will never come to pass. Give me a dream, and I will show you a two-edged sword, a broken promise, a shameless lie. But such is the power of a dream, that many a man has fallen to it's poisoned lure; Lincoln - Hitler - Mao - Obama. Look how far their dreams got them. A cold grave (or, in Hitler's case, cyanide and a 'warm' sendoff). To the common man, dreams are merely a temptation to keep them happy with their current circumstances, secure in the knowledge that there is a possibility of things getting better. But here's Reality for you. Things will never get better. Get used to your backbreaking 10 hour job, because the only way you'll get out of it is in a coffin.

It is almost impossible trying to find piano sheets for Chinese songs. If anyone can find sheet music for 甜蜜蜜 (Tian Mi Mi) by 邓丽君 (Teresa Teng), could you please send it my way? :)
On that note (haha, pun intended), song requests are always open. I'll keep them up there for a day at most, no more than one song per person per day.

Memory of the day: Year 11, Hari sends me a song by Flobots called Handlebars. I watch the video on Youtube. It's amazing, moving, touching. It's message still resonates with me today. I encourage you all to go see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuK2A1ZqoWs and decide for yourself.
I'm going to keep it at the top of my playlist for a day.

Dreams aren't meant to be fufilled, and reality is for the weak. Troll troll troll wheeee.
I think its cuz people aren't used to somebody who has so much time as to be able to post such hugeass slabs everyday, that's why you dont' get no comments. Not that i can speak.
Hey i thought you had a dream: to change the world.
But hmm..would u catagorize dream and ambition as the same one? Ambition is what makes us try and be bothered with things.
Don't be such a cynic oj =_= Without dreams we'd be able to achieve nothing. The reality is that people CAN change their lives - but they need to have a positve mindset about it ^^
