일단 꿈을 꾸자.                                                                      
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
일단 꿈을 꾼다. 자신을 세뇌시킨다.                                                  
                                                                                    
말로 되뇌어 주변 사람들을 당황하게 만들고, 자기 확신을 불어 넣는다.                  
                                                                                    
망신당하지 않기 위해 하나하나 저질러 나간다.                                        
                                                                                    
웬만한 어려움에도 끄떡하지 않는다.                                                  
                                                                                    
어렵더라도 표시를 하지 않고 자신 있게 밀고 나간다.

그렇게 하면 꿈은 이뤄집니다.                                                        
                                                                                    
아무리 현실이 어렵더라도 꿈과 희망이 있는 한,                                        
                                                                                    
사람은 쉽게 좌절하거나 포기하지 않기 때문에                                          
                                                                                    
결국에는 그 꿈을 이루게 됩니다.                                                      
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
‘목표가 확실한 사람은 아무리 거친 길에서도 앞으로 나갈 수 있지만,                  
                                                                                    
목표가 없는 사람은 아무리 좋은 길이라도 앞으로 나갈 수 없습니다’

그리고, 그 꿈을                                                                      
                                                                                    
간절히 원해야 비로소 얻을 수 있다.                                                  
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
“어떻게 하면 나비가 되죠?”                                                        
                                                                                    
“날기를 간절히 원해야 돼. 하나의 애벌레로 사는 것을 기꺼이 포기할 만큼 간절하게.”  
                                                                                    
“죽어야 한다는 뜻인가요?”                                                          
                                                                                    
“그렇기도 하고 아니기도 하지. 겉모습은 죽은 듯이 보여도 참모습은 여전히 살아있단다.
                                                                                    
삶의 모습은 바뀌지만, 목숨이 없어지는 것은 아니야.                                  
                                                                                    
나비가 되어 보지도 못하고 죽는 애벌레들하고는 다르단다.”

현실의 안락함을 포기할 정도로 간절이 원한다면                                        
                                                                                    
누구나 원하는 것을 얻을 수 있다고 생각합니다.
