ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM
Assalamualaikum [Link]
Honorable the judges of speech contest, allow me to introduce my self. My name is
Dandi Sulthan Hafiizh and I come from SMA NEGERI 1 PAGUYANGAN. Like the theme of
this competition, I will talk about "dreams" and how to achieve them
Imagine you live in the past and you still child in that year and you see the moon and
you ask to your parent “do human can go to the moon?” well because you still kids average
parent will say “yes if you work hard” and you dream to make human can land on the
[Link] many years boom NASA exist,but even you have permission from government
You have to go through several trials that may not necessarily be [Link] in 21 Juli
1969 NASA succeeded in landing humans on the [Link] right? from a hairy monkey
who could only light fire, now they can set foot on the moon. but what started all this? the
simple answer is ”dream”
What is a dream? is it something like after we close our eyes and then feel dream? or
like when we fantasize about something impossible? well dream that we talking about is
something like what we want in the future,like when we are child we want to be an astronaut
or police,or feel happy and enjoy your life when you 60 years old or live happy with a really
big house or something like [Link] isn't this similiar to a ambition? and what's the
difference?
So in this occasion I will explain that and what I have found some interesting facts
about dreams,and why we must have dream? Lets break it down.
In theory, dreams are hopes or goals that someone wants to achieve in life the
difference about dream and ambition The difference is that dreams are desires that have not
been planned, while goals are desires that have been planned and are being [Link] why
does this encourage someone to reach for it?.
Well as Aristoteles said humans have an ultimate goal, namely to achieve perfection
and happiness in their lives This goal is what drives humans to achieve their [Link] in
NASA's case they want to make history so that they can gain pride because of the results of
their hard [Link] fact, they didn't give up after several attempts, several times they failed,
failed, and failed until finally they succeeded. But think about it for a moment,what is the
importance of dreams? Like in NASA's case they worked hard even though they failed many
times to make it happen? Do dreams have an influence on a person's life?.
To answer this I have searched various sources until I found the opinion from research
on goal setting theory, namely from Edwin A. Locke & Gary P. Latham entitled in their book
entitled A Theory of Goal Setting and Task Performance. The conclusion of this research is
that dreams function as "mental maps" that help a person set life goals, encourage individuals
to move forward, set priorities, and stay focused even when blocked by obstacles.
Now you know the difference about dream and ambition,why someone want to reach
it,and what the influence from dream on a person’s [Link] how to achieve it? is this
simple? Or is this easy?.To answer that,there so many ways to achieve [Link] my
research there are 8 steps to achieve it let's discuss them one by one.
First, you have to determine your dream so that when you achieve your dream, your
efforts will be focused and not waste a lot of your valuable time. You must determine your
goals specifically and measurably and avoid goals that are too general,
Secondly, You have to make strategic steps, because strategic steps can make
you focus on pursuing your dreams and ensure that the steps you take are right and
not wrong. Break your dreams into detailed goals that can be achieved in stages, so
that the steps you take can help you achieve your dreams with organized steps.
Third, This is the most important thing and determines whether you can
achieve it or not, namely "consistent”.We have to be consistent in what we want to
achieve, in addition to creating a more organized character, consistency is a
mandatory requirement to be able to achieve your dreams. You have to really achieve
it, don't stop or give up, failure doesn't mean the end of everything.
Step fourth,keep the reason or motivation for achieving your dream, don't
listen to negative words that hinder your [Link] you lose your motivation, you will
reflect and eventually stop so you waste your [Link] your success so that you
are more enthusiastic about taking the next step and remember to keep thinking
positively.
Adapt to sometimes changing situations and remain flexible so that you
continue your struggle to achieve your dreams even though there are unexpected
[Link] a backup plan if something unexpected happens or make a plan B if
the main plan fails so that your struggle is not over
After you work hard remember this last thing, namely you have to be grateful
and celebrate your success. When you celebrate your success you will feel happy and
enthusiastic to achieve bigger [Link] remember you are not a machine or AI who
works without pay, so celebrate what you achieve.
in the end, I just want to say chase your dreams and don't give up, like in
NASA's case they don't give up, even though they fail they believe they [Link] if
you fail, there must be a lesson from that. You learn and try again so that you can lift
the trophy of your success, and you can be proud of it.
