intresting quote what do you think?

Question

People too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours.

do you think its true? why or why not?

Answer 1

Agree. I think it is due to inferiority complex.

Answer 2

Perhaps, but it's probably true that they had no one encouraging them as well, and they simply don't know how or they are filled with regrets/pains about that. I do not agree that it's weakness only that determines your lack of success in pursuing your dreams. It may be circumstance, and unfortunate ones at that. But, given that a person has a right setting and resources (knowledge, money, and help), then yes, perhaps weakness of psychology plays a role. IF one is bogged down by other's negativity and discouragement, it IS an indication of weak psychology. Then, one would have to work on that and strengthen up. Alot of people who aren't fulfilling their dreams get bitter and then they are really negative toward others who are energized by their goals. The goaled person should best avoid the discouragers, because they do not share a common spirit of progress. But then, some parents aren't too accomplished and they give their all for their children. Then they are not discouraging, but helpful and they know what it feels like to be stuck and not moving. They have empathy.

Your quote depends on the person and situation.

Answer 3

It seems sufficiently valid to be a justified quote.

Then again, it could just be my favourable interpretation that colours it in such a light.
I look at that statement and it immediately puts me in mind of religion. Afterall.... a religion is a collection of people following other peoples' dreams rather than their own, and they're all incredibly weak-minded .... and are rather reknowned in most cases for attempting to preach their pitiable actions as not only justified but exclusively correct.
They couldn't be further from the truth, and they irritate me endlessly for that.


Then again, if one is to interpret it VERY literally, then I would be inclined to disagree..... on the basis that only weak-minded people can make their actual dreams a reality... because there is generally a positive correllation between a person's mental potential and the distancing of their dreamscapes from conventional reality. As such, I can express only pity for those people who literally can make their dreams a reality.... mainly because it means without a shadow of a doubt that they have very mundane dreams. The only dreams worth having, in my opinion, are the dreams that could not be expressed in real, physical terms no matter how hard you try.

Then again its not as if I'd discourage people from trying.

Answer 4

I find that it's true but not all people who don't follow their dream are weak. Many feel obligated to a path that does not afford them the "luxury" of pursuing their own dreams. Those who are weak and have not tried followed their dream will typically try to pull you down as they're usually the selfish type who can't stand to see another person succeed.

Answer 5

I think this quote is so true. There are persons like that all over the world, because they are afraid to follow there dreams they will discourage you to follow yours. I had a friend once who, whenever time i would want to go out and do things to better my self she would say to me i don't think that will work for you. I think people like this often do not welcome change, so when people around then try to introduce change they will simply beat it down.

Answer 6

Such statements are not tautologies. Before deciding on the truth vale of the statements, one needs lot of other data. For example some dreams by some people may be imaginary, not imaginal. Creative imagination is onething aand wild dreaming another. I can not agree that the quote is sempre true

Answer 7

It's not universally true, but then nothing ever is with humans. There is a tendency to do this though. It's the crabs in a cage thing. If you watch alot of crabs in a cage all struggling to get out by climbing on each other. They don't have much luck because if one reaches the top he'll probably be pulled back in by the next one trying to use him to get further up. If humans were perfect we'd be bored.

Answer 8

True it's basically saying that those who are afraid to live their lives, and follow their dreams and who are not happy, they dont want others to live their lives, and follow their dreams, so that they will be happy...people who live in fear will always try to dishearten someone who is not afraid to try simply because they want everyone else to be just as unhappy as they are, which makes them feel less alone.

Answer 9

thats bullshit. people that are too weak to follow their dreams are too busy suffering the weight of their own inabilities than worrying about others. people who discourage the dreams of others are assholes, not tragic.

Answer 10

Yes, I believe it is the same premise as "misery loves company". Human nature shows us that the strong lead and the weak follow, however they don't follow without their fair share of grumbling and complaining.

Answer 11

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it."

“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

I don't know about ALWAYS, but often it is true.
