Studs Terkel once said, “Why are we born? We are born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we are born, and the time we die? We are born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.” Being a dreamer means that you have no boundaries for your thoughts and actions. In other words, you do what you want to do, no matter what anyone tells you.
