介绍:
5.Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. We don’t have to become the world’s greatest pianist, an Olympic medal winner, or an internationally acclaimed superstar. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone’s day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of a prominent person? Of course not, but we all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.
梦想不必宏大方显伟大。我们不必要求成为世上最伟大的钢琴家、奥运奖牌得主，抑或是国际知名的超级巨星。我的一个婶婶平生大部分时间在一家百货公司卖手套。她的梦想就是成为周围最为和气和最为有求必应的售货员。年复一年，回头客总会频繁惠顾，特来寻她购物。她让每个人购物的这一天快乐高兴，感动着成千上万的生命。她的梦想比之于要人显贵之宏愿，其意义会稍逊一筹吗？决然不会。我们都有能力去追寻一个会对我们自己和我们周遭的产生影响的梦想。
