Dreams Deferred

In the poem,Dreams Deferred by Langston Hughes he explains that it will take sacrifices to reach your goals. The more you put it, the more you get it out is a good way to look at it. To begin, coming up with the dream to be something that you want to be is the first step and usually the easiest. However, it can be the most important, and it could decide how you spend the rest of your life. Martin Luther King Jr. speech,"I Have a Dream" was probably one of the most important speeches in all of history. He set apart the difference and went for it; he, "took the first step without seeing the whole staircase." Next, having the drive or motivation is also another determining factor in life; it isn't always easy to stick with your plan but it will pay off if you do. You have to want it more then anything else in life. "You have to be willing to go days without sleeping or eating to be successful," as said by Erie Thomas in his "success" speech. Giving up fun things in life is part of being successful, you don't want your dreams to be deferred. Lastly, is the plan that comes along with succeeding in reaching your goals. You have to be willing to take your spot. Sticking to plan relates back to being something with your life or you will go nowhere. They build on one another, getting harder as you go but more rewarding. In the end it all comes down to how much your willing to give. - Sammy
