When my fourteen year old son comes to me and tells me he has a plan to change the whole world for the better, I listen. When he clarifies that this plan is for him to video himself talking about his thoughts and life, I give him the video camera and get out of his way. His plan may completely lack in distribution planning, he doesn’t intend to edit anything. It may be uninteresting and unmarketable to the world at large, but even if the only thing in the world that is changed by this effort is my son, then the effort is worthy. Son, have a video camera. Take over my office for an hour at a time. Record away. Because I remember twelve years ago when your father, the full-time cartoonist, took up doodling as a hobby.
Dreams are worthwhile because they change the world, starting with the internal world of the dreamer.
Thumbs up for dreams! And for parents and people who are willing to give them time, space, and a chance to grow. Thank you!
I wholeheartedly agree! And while it’s never to late to start chasing dreams no matter where in life people are, I think it’s so much more fun if kids start out learning it’s ok to chase their dreams right from the get-go! 🙂 Go mom!
