     When we were young,we had dreams and expectations.We imagine things,we keep thinking
about what we want to be,what we want to do,what makes us proud and happy and what we
will become.
     We grew up,and everything seemed like having its own way.We accept our success or failures
and we move on.The change,the need to do the important things,the jobs,the pressures and the
failures,all kill part of our dreams.
     Things have changed,but they cannot really take away the dreams.We still have to dream on,
to realize our desires,our wants,our future,even when we are considered too old for such things.
Cornel Sanders started his business when he was sixty,and started the whole successful KFC
business.The main thing is not the age-whether being too old,or too young,but it is the desire to
dream on,and the courage to realize it.
     Having a dream,taking it to sleep,thinking about it,planning it,and adding all the fun to our
dreams will make us a bit closer to the realization of our dreams.
     Businessmen start with a dream,a simple wish of small restaurant operation,or a huge business
of realestate (房地產(chǎn)) development,or a training center for English education,or just any other
selfemployed money earning fun.
     The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other animals do not
have.So dream on,and put a deadline:make it a giant dream,a small one,an old one,a newfound
one,a hobby related one,a change of life one,a religious one,a stupid one,or just whatever...just
continue to dream on...Then,Just Go and Do It!

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動(dòng)) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
