Answer 1

well i would say that you need a REALITY CHECK! unless you invest $110,000 a share for Berkshire Hathaway will you be a millionare!Second of all that is an unrealistic goal!You want to have more money?Save some from every paycheck like $20-$50 per paycheck depending on how much you can afford.Also do not spend more than you make..Also the green card lottery is all a gamble if you ask me.Out of everyone there are only so many people who win.Second of all you need to maybe get a lawyer and apply for citizenship and wait.That is teh best that you can do as of right no!And yes your friend is so right!Lastly you need a job that can make you a living before you embark on the journey of writing a book which can take a couple of months or years.So if I were you and with a degree I would use it and go for my Master's if you have a Bachelor's and then you have the money you need to survive as well maybe trying to start writing.Some of your goals have to be more down to earth and more realistic. I did the same thing last semester:I said that I was going to make all A's in my classes which was not a smart move on my behalf..I got my hopes up only to have them crushed when I did not make all A's.You get the point?Make a goal that is easy to reach, once you reach it make another small goal and go for it until you get to the top.I am doing that with my grades and it is working:I am aiming for a C in all my classes at first,when I make the C I am aiming for a B and if I make the B then I aim for the A.good luck!

Answer 2

I would like to focus on question 3)

Never ever give up on your dreams, dreams are what they are ,but, passion along with a dream is the hallmark ingredients for every world event changer, leader, scientist, politician, artist, myrter, etc... Throw in determination into the mix, even when odds are against you, faith in your convictions and every dream potentially can turn into reality. This is not an easy path. Expect this. All things started with a dream / idea / thought. There is a line in the sand thou. When you, yourself , have convinced yourself that your dream is not your passion will you understand what most of us have learned. Time is your worst enemy. Life is short, there are many forks in the road, choices to be made, priorities change, and more times than not, human nature dictates we lean towards the path of least resistance, or make the wrong choice along the way, or simply that your dream is unobtainable at this junction. Priorities change with age and experience. Eventually ,for whatever reason, most of us are walking with broken dreams in our heart and soul, yet the beauty of it all this is that you are really asking, whether you know this or not, is: IS IT WORTH IT? Only you can answer this. Experience and father time will force you to decide.

My advice: No-one ever has claimed that the path less chosen was an easy path and It takes more to be a champion. Be proud. You are making your first step in answering your own question, by asking this question.

My Favorite poem:

Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.



1. The Road Not Taken / The Path Less Traveled





TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5



Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same, 10



And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back. 15



I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference. 20

Answer 3

Well first off, let me say that being a "dreamer" does not mean you have lost contact with reality.



We all have to have hopes in our life, it's part of what keeps us going. The problem comes up though when you only dream about things that are unlikely to happen. You have to have realistic goals to go along with your lofty ones.



If you want to try and get your greencard, then you go for it. If you want to become a writer, then keep trying. Just don't give up on it. There are a lot of people out there who like to bring dreamers down, and it's because they are afraid of it.



My suggestion is to turn your dreams into realistic goals that you can work toward. And don't listen to the people that tell you that you have lost touch with reality. You want a lot from life, and there is nothing wrong with it. Just try to keep at least one of your feet on solid ground...
