Our Future: A Battle between Dreams and Reality
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
When l was in the primary school, l have a dream. I want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. When l was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. And when eventually I got into the university, my dream was to graduate. How pathetic! When we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic. Why?Why do we have to change our dreams, so ,so in order to let it be ""fulfilled"? Why do we have to surrender to the so -called "reality" What is the reality actually?
Ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. It is a barrier keeping us from ail the possible fantasies. Flying, for example, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, "man could not fly" was still regarded as the "reality", Now if that was realty the reality, what did the Wright brothers do? How did some of you get to Macao?Only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams. People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. And if,unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this is the reality; people livling in the undeveloped countries will suffer form starvation forever as this is the reality; disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and Intolerance is the reality.
