Achieving Your Dreams Quotes Novels & Stories

“You make ordinary things extraordinary just by being with them.” “Corny mo talaga.” “Honest lang.” Sandali silang natahimik. “Ikaw, anong pangarap ko.” “Hmm?” “Simple lang. Gusto kong makasama ka… sa lahat ng araw na natitira sa’kin.” Napatawa siya. “Bola.” “Hindi.” Lumapit ito. “Totoo. Every dream I have ends with you in it.” Sandaling tumigil ang mundo.

"This isn't my dream before. Noon, pangarap ko lang na talunin ang ama ko para ipamukha sa kaniya na mas malakas ako sa kaniya." I closed my eyes and kissed his hand. Nang imulat ko ang mga mata ko ay sinalubong ko ang kaniya. I gave him my sweetest smile. "But after meeting you and the others, after finding my worth, my selfish dream turned into a huge dream." Lumapit ako sa kaniya at hinawakan ang magkabila niyang pisngi. "Please, let me achieve my greatest dream. Help me achieve it." He held my hands and closed his eyes. He heaved a sigh before kissing every finger tip my hands have. "Just promise me you'll never succumb in darkness. Promise me."

Hindi nila mauunawaan iyong pagmamalaking nararamdaman ng mga kagaya ko sa mga panalong pinaghirapan namin sa buhay. “Kahit ilang trabaho ko pa iyong sabihin ko, hindi pa rin iyon sasapat para sa kanila. Kahit ilang awards at diploma pa iyong ibigay ko sa kanila, mababa pa rin ako sa mga mata nila,” I resumed, choking on my tears. I then turned to him. “Kahit ilang beses ko pang ulit-ulitin na nagawa ko ang mga iyon at nagtagumpay ako kahit wala kaming pera, hindi nila maiintindihan kasi hindi nila kailanman naranasang mamuhunan sa mga pangarap nila at kakayahang magsikap. They have everything while I have nothing but only my dreams.”

“I don’t want you dreaming.” Napapikit ako. “Bakit?” tanong ko bago ko pa napigilan ang sarili ko. May sandaling katahimikan. Ramdam ko ang pag-iisip niya...ang pagtimbang kung paparusahan ba niya ang tanong, o sasagutin. “Because dreams give people exits,” sagot niya sa wakas. “And you don’t have one.” Tumango ako. Hindi dahil sang-ayon ako...kundi dahil ayokong ipakita ang pag-alma ng loob ko.

Pagmamakaawa niya sa akin habang umiiyak. Hinarap ko siya habang nakaupo pa rin siya sa sahig. "Hindi ikaw ang magdadala ng bata Macy. Hindi ikaw ang mahihirapan. I have a lot of dreams that I want to achieve kahit na alam kong may taning na ang buhay ko, ay gusto ko pa rin magawa ang lahat ng nais ko na walang sumasagabal." Sabi ko sa kaniya at inalis ang pagkakahawak niya sa akin saka tinalikuran siya.

Marahan kong saad. "I'll always be here, until you achieve your dreams, until you make it to the top. Have me back when you're done. Have me when you finally made it. Right then, maybe we won't have to be hidden anymore..." I said sincerely. I wanted him to remember each word by his heart, because I'm keeping them. "Can't wait for that day." Aniya habang mataman akong pinagmamasdan. "Make it fast then." I smiled reassuringly. I gave him a smile of hope, because that's what I don't want him to lose. Hope.

Na mapapabuti sa akin ang lahat ng ito even though we may begin at different times and other places. Following your dreams isn't always all it's cracked up to be. The moment you believe you can't do it, everything else begins to crumble. Never stop believing. Because every milestone is a miniature victory on the road to achieving your goals. Huwag kang mangamba na sumubok muli ng panibago, kung ang kapalit naman nito ay maganda.

"Sabi ko nga mag-aaral akong mabuti." Tumayo na ito pero bigla itong tumigil at tumingin sa akin. "Reach your dream first, Ram. Love can wait, but not reaching your dreams can be a regret. We are still young, don't rush to seek for love. Seek for success."

Alam kong malayo pa ang lalakbayin namin pero sigurado akong hindi siya mahihirapang abutin ang pangarap niya. ".... I want to remind all of us that we can always do more, so why settle for less? Let us always strive harder. Maybe our grade will not define our future, but it will show how ambitious we are. It is free to make a dream, but it will cost a lot of energy to reach it. Let us not waste our energy; time will not stop waiting for us. Let's make everyone proud. No, make yourself proud of yourself. I can do it, and you can do it. I hope the next time we meet, we are already bragging about what we have achieved. So, my fellow graduates, congratulations to all of us for passing another s
