When a boy was a senior in high school he was asked to do a paper about his dreams. He wrote about a 200 acre ranch, a racetrack, a 4000 sq. foot house. He got an F. The teacher told him he had unrealistic dreams, if he changed the paper the teacher would consider changing the grade, because the dream was too big. The boy thought about it for a week and turned in the paper without changes. As he turned in the paper he told the teacher to keep the F and he would keep the dream. Several years later the teacher came to his 200 acre ranch, visited with students in his 4000 square foot house. The teacher told him that he admired him, and that he knew he was a dream stealer. Don’t let anyone ever steal your dream.
The only approval you need is your own and God’s.
