Writing exercise

Even though I don’t have dream , I think it’s important to have dreams in life. If you have a dream, you will have a specific aim to working hard and maybe you will get more progress. I also think you should build a reasonable dream, if your dream is too big and it’s difficult to achieve, you can try to
split the big dream to some small aim which is easy to finish. when you finish these small aims, you will have enough confident to chase your big dream.

Because he missed a lot of detail of happiness in life.Sometimes, you should stop your forward steps and enjoy life, because your dream isn’t your whole life.

Revised: 

Even though I don’t have a dream , I think it’s important to have dreams in life. If you have a dream, you will have a specific aim to work hard/work for and maybe you will see yourself progress. I also think that you should have a reasonable/realistic dream; if your dream is too big, it will be difficult to achieve/realise. You can try to split the big dream into some small goals/targets which are easy to complete/achieve. When you achieve these small targets, you will have enough confidence to chase your big dreams. In addition, when you chase your dreams, you shouldn’t lose yourself. Last week, I watched a movie named “Soul”.  The movie teaches us to live in the present – when the main character realised his dream, he didn’t feel happy. He missed out on many details of happiness in life.Sometimes, you should pause for a moment/stop for a second to enjoy life, because chasing your dreams shouldn’t take up your whole life.
