You can't realize your dreams unless you have one to begin with.

The best thing in life is to go ahead with all your plans and your dreams, to embrace life and to liveeveryday with passion, to lose and still keep the faith and to win while being grateful. All of this because the world belongs to those who dare to go after what they want. And because life is really too short to be insignificant.
