An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing
well, looked up into his eyes, and asked:
“I understand you’re a very wise man. I’d like to know the secret of
life.”
The old man looked down at the youngster and replied:
“I’ve thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in
four words.
The first is to “think”. Think about the values you wish to live your life
by.
The second is to “believe”. Believe in yourself based on the thinking
you’ve done about the values you’re going to live your life by.
The third is to “dream”. Dream about the things that can be, based
on your belief in yourself and the values you’re going to live by.
The last is to “dare”. Dare to make your dreams become reality,
based on your belief in yourself and your values. ”
And with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy, “Think, Believe,
Dream, and Dare”.
So, what is your meaning of life?
What are you thinking now?
Do you believe in yourself?
What is your dream?
Do you dare to take action and make dreams come true?
I like this very much, I plan to use it in the classroom, when discussing these specific areas. I have always had an enormous respect for Mr. Disney. He had to be a very special person to leave us with such a wealth of imagination and show us that we live in a world of possibilities.
Dear Angel, feel free to share this in the classroom.
I’m also sharing what I found to be meaningful and useful to my readers.
Yes, a world of possibilities!
