Above the rainbow, there is a place
There, as long as you dare to make the dream will come true
……
I really like the English song "Over the Rainbow". For many years, this song has accompanied me through my dreams.
Over the Rainbow (some translate as "Flying Over the Rainbow") is an episode of the 1939 mgM fairy tale film The Wizard of Oz. In 2001, "Over the Rainbow" topped the 365 "Songs of The Century" listed by the American Recording Industry Association.
One not only has to ask, why did an interlude from a children's film produced in 1939 have such a huge charm and become the number one best English song of the 20th century?
The reason is that in the 1930s, the United States suffered a severe Great Depression, and at a time when people were struggling with work and survival and feeling confused about their future, "Above the Rainbow" brought people the spiritual food they needed most: hope.
The reason why this song is popular is that it advocates such a spirit: people must have dreams, and dreams must be realized.
This English song also had a huge impact on me.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, beautiful rainbow is like our childhood colorful dreams. But over time, many dreams were crushed by reality. The ideal is full, the reality is bone.
Before the age of 35, I felt that my life was busy and busy, getting married, having children, working, starting a business, going with the flow, and following the flow. In 2000, at the turn of the century, people were looking back on the past and looking forward to the future. I also began to reflect on the path I had traveled, regain my dreams, and move on.
In 2001, at the age of 36, I set my own big goal in life: "I have only one wish in this life: financial and intellectual freedom. To this end, I developed for myself the three-step pyramid life plan of ABC (Adhesives Adhesives Major - Business Management and Investment - Consultants Consulting and Writing).
I see ABC (Adhesive Professional - Management and Investment - Consulting and Writing) life planning as the three stages of my own survival, development and self-realization. That is, the three steps from technical experts, to entrepreneurs, and then to writers.
I put my goals on the front page of my notebook, on the desktop of my computer, made into a frame and placed it on a bookshelf or desk in my office and home, reminding myself not to forget my big goal. No matter how busy I am at work, I will insist on reading, practicing writing, learning knowledge and skills related to my big goals, and constantly practicing.
On the blue sky above that rainbow,
Bluebirds fly leisurely...
Happy bluebirds flew over the rainbow,
So, why can't I?
Ever since I had a big goal in mind, I feel that life is full of meaning, living a full life, and living a very calm life. After more than ten years of hard work and persistence, my goal is being achieved step by step.
"Above the Rainbow" is divided into three paragraphs, expressing "I dream", "I wish", and "I can do it"!
The first paragraph: "I dream". Above the rainbow, there is a place where dreams that will come true whenever you dare to do them.
Second paragraph: "I make a wish". One day I made a wish to the stars, and when I woke up, I was already flying in the blue sky.
Third paragraph: "I can do it". Happy little blue birds flew over the rainbow, so why can't I?
Dreams nurture infinite energy, dreams lead you to stimulate your potential, lead you to work hard step by step, and realize yourself. If you don't hesitate to throw yourself into your dreams, you can quickly adjust yourself, hold your head high, and create miracles.
Below I recommend the Chinese and English lyrics of "Over the Rainbow" to everyone.
● Youth is not youth, but state of mind
● The enlightenment of Yang Dai's 105-year-old life to me
● Become a master of the stock market
