They look the same.

To pursue a dream it means you stick your mind to something and follow through on completing it. Dreams could be a future job, having something, or even a dream house. To pursue a dream we need diligence and determination.
“Anybody can do just about anything with himself that he really wants to and makes up his mind to do. We are capable of greater things than we realize.”
-Norman Vincent Peale
This quote says a lot for people trying to fulfill a dream for themselves or another person. We set our own limitations and boundaries of what we can do if you just give yourself reassurance that we can do anything we set our mind to everything will come easy to us.
When I was 5 I wanted to play the flute so much. My mom asked the lady at the music store counter how old girls had to be to play the flute, the tall dark haired woman said my lounges were not developed enough and I had to wait until I was at least 11 to have a proper lounge capacity. I walked into the busy sidewalk sad and depressed. My mom told me I could play the flute when I was older but I wanted it now. When I told her that she said to play the piano and learn the notes first then I could play anything I put my mind to.
When I turned 11 I started to play the flute just like my mom said I could. While thinking about that story, I knew if I did not keep that dream then I would not have played. I think working hard at something is easier if you really want to complete something. Along the way my mom was very benevolent while helping me to pursue my dream even paying for my flute. When you have that loving support it in a sense picks you up when you fall along the way.
This brought to mind a conversation about limitations. We can decide where we stop ourselves from going further with our dreams. But I was thinking why do we have to stop. We have a whole lifetime ahead of us. If dreams start to progress in our heads while we are young there is more of a chance we can succeed and we have a while to tweak it and try different things.
Going back to the quote in the first paragraph we can do anything we put our mind to and diligently follow through on. In the words of Heidi Willis “all limitations are self imposed.” If we trust in our selves and keep our dream alive anything is possible. Why do we have to limit ourselves. We can pick our own battles we want to fight we can achieve success.

1.Technically, when a person wants to check grammar or verbiage on a statement like this:

“Although me, and the man sitting right behind me, had the best view.”

2.Would you break it into its parts to make sure it is correct; like:

“Although, me had the best view”
And
“Although, the man sitting right behind me had the best view.”

3.Then, see here that “me” is incorrect, and it should be:

“Although, I had the best view.”

4.And, ultimately:

“Although I, and the man sitting right behind me, had the best view.”

5. Or could it be “myself”

1. exam - test
The major problem with (exam/testing) is that the results are not always accurate

2. I have an opinion - I'm of the opinion
(I have an opinion/I'm of the opinion) that people should take responsiblity for their actions

3. ban-prohibit / all-every
In my opinion, smoking should be (banned/prohibited) in
(all/every) public places

I question whether these sets of words have same meaning.
It would be no problem to navtive speaker, you, but not to English learners.
There is no doubt that someone says "It depends on what you want to talk", but it is not enough answer for me.
In that case, to illustrate your point more clearly, give me examples plz.

thanks.

Starts off each line with one of the letters of >> LOVE<<
FOR EXAMPLE:

Losing you would break my heart.
Oh my darling, (your words)
Victory (Your words)
Every (Your words)

The first letter of each line is from the words, "LOVE"
