I am a firm believer in following your dreams. I believe it takes all three strategies to be successful. First, you have to dream it. You have to discover what you want out of life and develop passion about pursuing that dream. You must actually believe you can achieve. If you cannot see yourself attaining your dreams, then you have a self-defeatist attitude and you will have so much more to overcome. Once you determine what you want to do and find out what it takes to follow your goals, then you have to do what it takes to achieve it.
For example, I wanted to teach since third grade. Before then, teachers always got onto me and called my parents a lot because I was not quite like the others. My third grade teacher knew how to teach me focusing skills so I could be successful in life. Well, with everyone discouraging me against being a teacher, I walked away from a full scholarship and got married at 17 instead. I had 3 kids by age 21 and thought I would never be able to teach. Well, after several years, I had the chance to go to community college for business management. Though I still wanted to be a teacher, I couldn't then because certification classes were in the day time only and I worked during the day and went to night classes. I transferred to a university for my BAAS, but this was still for management. Once I found out about alternative teaching certification programs (last semester of college), I realized that it was actually possible to make my dream of being a teacher a reality. It took a lot of time and effort, but it all paid off. I have been a teacher for 4 years now and love it!
See, just dreaming it as I had done all those years was not enough. I had to find out how to become a teacher and actually believe I could be one. I also had to put in the long hours and hard work to achieve my goal.

I am a child in a family that tried to give me and my three siblings anything we needed and we were never deprived of anything. But I am the most stubborn, but in a different way. I mean that i do not shout to get what I want. I am the smallest of the family so every member of my family had a soft spot for me so i someone did not give me something another member of the family would give me it. Many times one of my siblings would buy something new like a school pocket or a hiking backpack. Once I see it I want one like it even if I did not need it. So I start to give hints to my parents about what I want and by time and by some persuasion I get what I want.
What I mean is that in life there are people like me that dream, see and achieve. There are many people that have many dreams that are impossible to make them all come true but some of their dreams do come true. Then there are those who dream, see but cannot afford to achieve them. Then there are those who do not have their own dreams but try to achieve other people's dreams sometimes only for the pleasure of seeing other people suffering.
I am a person who dreams of having a fantastic life both emotionally, personally and financially. Right now I am a dreamer and I am seeing the dreams of other people coming true which gives me a lot of positivity. In this time of my life I am working hard to become an achiever i the near future. I believe in the way I am living my life because in life dreams keep you going, seeing that dreams can come true( to a certain extent) gives you hope and helps you to continue to dream. Then achieving what you were dreaming of leaves you free to dream more!
What I want to say is that people should have a mix of the three according to their character. I hope everyone has dreams because they are the best thing in the world because they are the only thing that you can really call yours and no one can take them away from you! But then no one should forget to work so as thay can come true.

I see lots of things that don't "spark" me to dream. When something does, I go into "research phase, " and find out everything I can from as many sources as I have access to. I may even try my hand at it, and then if it seems I might have a talent in that area (and I'm still really interested after all that research LOL), I'll try to perfect (or acheive) that skill. Good examples from my life: all kinds of cooking; knitting and crocheting; creative writing. Another example (not so good): parenting and marriage - no research on these, just "perfecting" as I go along....
