Almost everyone has a dream or dreams. Most of them are about becoming rich or famous or B+ on ICC. Some people want to become the best in their respective fields, like sports or playing a certain music instrument. Others strife for more abstract goals: defeating the ego, realizing the meaning of life or perfecting a martial art. Some dreams are less ambitious but nontheless very important for some people, like learning a language, emigrating in a new country or finding true friendship. And sometimes, people only dream about living like a normal person without illnesses or similiar hindrances.
Only few people work for those dreams or even realize them, though. We all want to get rich, for example, but putting in the time and effort for becoming so is beyond most of us, because the sacrifices would be huge. Thats why we admire people who brought those sacrifices in order to reach a certain goal that is important to them. That is also why Idra (or now Ret) will always be respected (at least a bit), because he actually did what thousands of people were trying to achieve - becoming a progamer in Korea. Ret and Idra both put in endless hours of playing, losing, analyzing and eventually winning. They did not quit, and thats the difference between them and those people who didn't make it.
What is your dream? Do you even have one? What do you sacrifice in order to make your dream come true? Do you train or learn for hours everyday, neglect friends/sleep? Waking up an hour earlier so you can squeeze in that extra session to study for the next test, practice on the piano or playing on ICC?
Maybe you have given up on a certain dream of yours - why?

I don't really have a dream right now. Wish I did, it'd be nice to have some uber motivation.

Earning money is the biggest dream killer

My only dream is to spend more time looking at funny pictures on the internet.
|
My dream is to become a decent pianist (meaning I can tackle almost any piece within a reasonable period of time) and a composer.
In high school I gave up taking lessons and working towards my diploma (performance) because I felt it was too difficult (and my teacher said I didn't know how to play the piano; she was probably trying to get me to work harder... didn't work).
Now in university, I'm determined to pick it back up and hopefully get that diploma, as well as learn some jazz on the way. I have already set aside thousands of dollars to purchase a good digital piano. Although I move every 8 months, I plan on taking that piano with me.
I'll be playing Kapustin Concert Etudes in no time!

my dream is to ride a porsche, so I can get hot chicks

Or maybe it is, to get in love... but that's not really a dream i can do something for accomplishing it. It's just chance.

My dream is to be able to travel around East Asia (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan) without the need of an interpreter, so fluency in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese.
I don't sacrifice anything for it, except my own free time. I study these languages in addition to my current Engineering degree.

My dream is to have e-sports in the Philippines and to be a part of it.. which is why it's a dream 
No e-sports and no "big part of it"
But long term goal, just have kids and a loving wife, also to be a good provider to them.

Not sacrificing anything right now except for maybe working full time. But am in school so its all good.
Plus my hobby is a side 'job' for fun, so life is good.

Continually producing better eSports photographs. So far, I've sacrificed;
~ Over $5000.
~ A lot of sleep and most of my weekends.
~ Three months spent scrubbing toilets/living in a room with 4 other people.
~ Seeing my Mum for any extended period of time for 2 years.
In many ways it's been worth it though. I kind of wish I had the chance to travel more, but on my current visa I can't leave the country (Plus I get only weekends off from my job.) so I'm basically here for another year. I'd love to visit Japan again.

My dream is to complete my masters degree and to get my PhD, then to teach at a university and be a productive researcher.
|
My dream is to improve the state of education, especially in math. Most kids in high school nowadays can't stand math and resent having to learn it, with a "when will I ever use this?" attitude.
The problem is that classes focus too much on the numbers and the computation. It's just add/substract/multiply in different contexts or to find different quantities. On the other hand, real math is all about concepts and reasoning, and I feel like students are mostly being deprived of the enjoyable components of math.
I got a good degree from one of the top5/top10 schools in the US. I could probably get a high paying job if I wanted to go into industry and work for some company (maybe not in the current economy, I'm not sure). But right now I think the average person's mathematical and logical literacy is just abysmal, and it needs to be remedied.
|
Mine is a bit ambitious, but it's to come up with an innovation in machine learning or AI that will make a noticeable impact on the world, in a good way. I'm on the right path so far, as I'm working towards a PhD right now in computer science, specifically in AI/machine learning.
I've definitely made huge sacrifices to get where I am now, such as
-- giving up great friends and family by moving to a different state for grad school
-- giving up developing my social life for the most part in order to make time for more studying and research
-- turning down a prestigious, high paying job offer in a great location in order go to grad school instead
Really, though, these sacrifices aren't such a big deal to me because I know this is what I want to do and wouldn't be happy with myself otherwise.

You're so right about this. An intuitive and logical understanding of subjects, especially math, makes them so much more of a pleasant experience. I'm not sure if everyone prefers it that way, though.

I really want to break 50 seconds in a 400 Meter run.
Optimally, I want to run a 45-46 my senior year.
What would I sacrifice? Every practice I go to is brutal, and I get home at 7.
|
My dream is to have sex more than 5 times in one night.
Seriously though, Id like to travel (I have a huge list of places I want to see) and enjoy my work, meet someone I really love, and maybe after I am tired of traveling have some kiddies.

Don't worry about the last part, there are plenty of people who get into med school to marry someone there for their cash.

Dream: to be self employed and still successful. This self employment cannot be tied down to any particular location allowing me the freedom to go whever the fuck I want and do whatever the fuck I want. Plus I get to swear.
Sacrifices:
- sleep (dealing with a start-up business while working full-time in an unrelated career)
- calm (long hours of work are a constant strain on my relationships)
- health (less time spent exercising or *not* eating microwave burritos and drinking cheap beer)
- prestige (current career is much 'fancier' but will be tossed by the wayside if all goes according to plan)
|
I want to meet my GF. She lives in New York.
I also want to travel (first point lol), USA, many European countries, China, Japan and South Korea and Australia are in my list.
Also forgot to add that one of my dreams is to be pro in any form of competative e-sport game and I want the scene to flourish all over the world!

I believe our conception of 'Happiness' is an illusion. The state is wholly temporary after once achieves a goal only to be replaced by yet another goal-seeking attempt. I prefer the word 'contentment' when describing a state of peace and well-being.

i agree; profs use way too much long-winded jargon to describe simple and satisfying concepts. it should always be concept first and jargon later.
Also i want to make teaching a more highly-regarded profession; right now teacher salaries suck and incentives are terrible, resulting in lazy, uncaring and underqualified teachers at times. In fact, education as a whole needs to move to a higher plane of significance and existance than where it is now. There is way too much disparity in educational quality; and I'm not only talking about differences in educational quality across countries with varying economic wealth either, I'm talking about the extreme disparities found even within first-world nations.

Concepts and reasoning are the exact reason you should learn math, or learn anything in school--to learn how to think.

Yeah, to gain an analytical way of thought; to be able to analyse any problem and to come up with a solution corresponding to your current tools. Math is probably the best way to learn it.

To be able to turn back time and change the effect of events on people's lives.
What I would sacrifice: Practice only PvZ and ZvP till reaching progamer level while learning Korean. Then with a time machine travel back in time to 2005/2006ish and befriend Savior by possibly becoming a practice partner. I'd probably use an alias like sea.ruby or something. Someone that doesn't stand out and isn't particularly remembered. I would show him the build shortly after he defeats Midas and starts practicing to defeat Much. I'd explain the build to him first and show him why it's so strong so he can be ready. With his level of ZvP at the time he could still overcome Much without practicing specifically to beat him and because I spent 2 years befriending him he might trust me that this build could be a real threat. Then after I was sure he understood I'd just retire and continue my life as before except being 5-8 years older.

Being able to always work my hardest, and thus have no guilt or anxiety whenever i do something wrong because I know what i did was my best. That is my dream.

my girlfriend to come back in love with me :'(

I want to see as much of the state's as possible. I'm becoming very interested in my countries politics as well. I would like to move to DC in the immediate future. Those are goal's I know I can accomplish. I guess the real dream for me would be to have Superman's power's! lol

My dream is quite simple. Become a multi-hundred millionaire or billionaire.
Then use that wealth to help augment / change the entire educational system.
Sacrifices: I spend maybe 5% of the money I make on myself, I invest the rest.
I'm quite content and in a great mood most of the time, but I'm never really happy and I don't really "enjoy" life.

Find the meaning of life,and why we are all here,and if there is a "higher being" out there:/

I don't really have a dream. Other than the standard generic, money & lots of women. Although recently after looking at the blizzard office pics I kinda really want to work for them. I've always wanted to do cartooning or something ever since I was a kid and I have ideas to make some good anime since so many are terrible. Not nearly on my way to getting there though.
I'm happy with my life being how it is forever (minus all the tickets, car fees, and bank overdrafts). I could be in denial though.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

To be really good in my field (Biology/Chemistry) and to be a solid drummer. I am working towards the first one currently and the second one...well...I haven't actually touched a stick in 2 years due to a situation beyond my control, but if all goes well starting next week I will again be working towards that goal.
Edit: Also, I wouldn't mind winning a season of liquibet.
Edit2: I think in my endeavors to be a good student I have given up both the 'normal' (for the area/group that I came from) life of not going to college and staying with the group to continue drinking/smoking etc., which I don't count as much of a loss, and also the 'average' college life of drinking and partying...which again just isn't really my thing.
|
Be rich enough so I can be relatively free from the burden of money.
I don't know what I would sacrifice. Not money, that's for sure.
|
I don't really have a dream. I'm actually really happy with where I'm at in life. I don't have much money at all, but I do what I want when I want. Ideally I'll have a bunch of money sooner or later to do what I want with it, but I'm just hanging out in a house with my 3 best friends in a college town with no commitments. Eventually I want to start my own business and move back to where I grew up and start a family and all that jargon, but for now I'm living it up and sleeping 12-14 hours a day =]

You can become a billionaire overnight. Move to Zimbabwe The amount of money you have matters little if you can't purchase anything with the money. Perhaps you should be content with the purchasing power of your money. The saying "Money doesn't grow on trees." is actually false. It does grow on trees, because our FRN's (Federal Reserve Notes), have no intrinsic value. It is valueless. If the FED wanted to it could print one billion dollar bills, and you would more or less forced to use them because of legal tender laws. It would in essence make the money worthless because the only thing that makes fiat money have any such worth is its scarcity. Compulsory measures to force you to use it, make matters much worst. There are though more and more businesses and companies not accepting FRN's and only silver and gold which is a good start.
However, as matter of law, the State makes it compulsory to force you to use only FRN's in the repayment of debt. Why can't I, if I wanted to, negotiate with my debtor to pay him in whatever he deems fit? Of course, if that happened, the State wouldn't have a monopoly on money, and then it couldn't just wantonly print and pay for whatever it wants; Wars, Welfare, etc.

Well his dream is to become a billionaire is it not? I was merely illustrating the fact that the amount of money you hold doesn't matter. It's what you can purchase with the money. I think it's a fallacy that needs to be spoken more of.

My dream is just to be able to live life without stressing too much. I want a job that I enjoy but that doesn't take up excessive amounts of time. I don't know what exactly I want to do for a living, so I guess I'm just keeping an open mind and allowing myself to consider things I wouldn't normally see myself doing.

Either true love or more importantly having a significant impact on the world for the better. I don't want to simply be a cog in the machine and be forgotten like millions of others.
I don't know what I would need to sacrifice but I would go pretty far.
|
Dream: C on iCCup
Sacrifice: A whole lot of time that would be better off used on other things.
|
get rich and retire young and have a stress free life of leisure... probably not going to happen though.
|
Pass in a University here in Brazil, really fucking hard to get into.
Pretty much studying all day and sacking my social life
|
To travel to every corner of the world, meet new friends, love everyone of them, and leave them for my memories.
To create stories, even if no one sees them, fictional and non, so I may have a channel for every experience worthwhile.
In the end, I'd like to die alone in the most remote corner of the earth, a vast space far away from everything, a beautiful sunrise over Kilimanjaro or sleeping in the snow below an Aurora Borealis, or even a makeshift raft over a moonlight in the Pacific, never to be heard from again, only to be a subtle influence in everyone I ever meet.
(I told this to my ex and she thought it was the most nihilistic, emo fantasy she had ever heard of, while we were watching The Notebook over with some pizza hut buffalo wings, with her farting every 10-15 minutes on the bed, fixated and tearful on the most unrealistic, self-indulgent, romance story ever conceived. Quaint.)

Dream: Graduate from college and make some decent amount of cash
Sacrifice: My girlfriend

I can kind of relate to that. I wouldn't want to die in a hospital. I'd rather die somewhere where the last thing I see is some beautiful nature scene.

My dreams are more like goals with different levels of importance. The most important ones for me are financial security and going further up my spiritual path. Almost everything that I do in my daily life is somehow related to those things. My ultimate dream would be to have enough money to sustain myself and for the rest of my life so that I can travel the world doing pilgrimages and working towards becoming self-realized.

none of your business, and everything but my dignity.

I just had a bit of motivation hit me this morning, as I was taking a walk, for whatever reason.
Sadly, I don't have a dream that I can think of immediately. No idea whatsoever what I want to do in my life, and I don't really enjoy as much anymore. Even playing video games seem to be more of way to pass time than anything else.
Then this morning, as I'm walking, I thought to myself something like this "I have no idea what I want, but I know that I want to do my best to get there". Or something like that.
So, my immediate dream, I guess you could say, would be to get into shape.
Other than that, I just want to lead a happy life, regardless of how I get there.

my dream is to become a sc progamer (but since sc2 comes out it moves on to sc2 tho)
im sacrificing a lot of time that i could spent studying extra in school or spend time with friends which i want, on the other hand sc is my biggest passion in life right now so "practicing" is another word for having fun ^^
but i have more respect for ppl who are following their dreams or doing what they want over earning a lot of money or so~~

I'm trying to reconcile a career in medicine with raising a family, and the thing that has to get sacrificed in that mixture is definitely computer games.
|
My dream is to move to Tokyo, Japan in the Mita or Shinjuku District. Travel all over Japan with my free time, and to help make anime. That is my dream. I sacrifice a lot actually...believe it or not. I am constintly drawing anime (forcing myself to get better) I am learning to read/write/speak Japanese, soon I am going to be a student for Art and 3D animation. My biggest sacrifice is leaving my family and friends when I do move to Japan
|

i find everything you say funny

My dream would be to resolve my fears. I have some that are rather in the way, social related mostly. But what can you sacrifice in return? It is a battle of will and courage. I'd give up quite many a personal possession if it could work that way, though.
|
My dream is to sail around the world and create a legacy as an artist/thinker.
So I guess I need to become rich somehow to afford it, even though I'm heavily in debt.

Me too. In comparative literature. I study in Paris at Sorbonne, I don't know if it is a sacrifice. It's like that when you are persuing a dream: both a hard and rewarding. I try to learn my 4th and 5th languages while reading a novel / day

Earning a living beeing a musican. It's very unlikely but I'll try.

Happiness.
After all, all other dreams are just attempts at it.
Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about.
Personally (re: musical intruments) despite being somewhat able at the the violin and viola i still find myself lacking in skill and style, and those are my major instruments (don't talk about the piano).
Being stuck at D in iccup is certainly not a dream either.
Bottom line is that there are dreams and theres the journey towards fulfilling them - if you find happiness in working to realise the dream then that is a dream worth fulfilling. That being said my TL-inspired dream is to reach C level on iccup before everyone starts switching to SC2 =p
