Today I had the chance to talk with some interesting people, share my ideas and understand their thoughts. From there, I started to think about the relationship between “personal dreams” and “real life”. That brought me to make a special guest’s acquaintance.
Anytime we’d like to do something really interesting or, work in a wonderful place, or try to achieve our dreams, someone always shows up. We can call him MR BUT, always present in our life. That’s true.
When we think about “dreams”, our sentences seem not to be complete without MR BUT.Have you ever heard “I would like to go in Australia BUT I have no money to spend now” or “I would like to know more BUT the time was over”???
MR BUT is always present but fortunately, also for him the BUT RULE applies. To overcome the limitation of MR BUT, we need to make him as one of our best friends. The positive impact of this friendship are limitless. Let’s make an example:
You cannot live just with your dreams, BUT you can dream your life.
As you can see, if MR BUT becomes one of our best friends, his qualities replace his limitation. In our case… he is clearly helping us to understand that to achieve our dreams we need to work hard. At the same time, he is also suggesting to enjoy our life by living with the same passion present in our dreams.
Finally, have you ever heard about “DREAMING WITH OPEN EYES”? It is the best way to meet MR BUT and… to become one of his best friend, if you’d like.
Gianpy, please stop smoking whatever you are smoking in NYC. It is not good for your heath!!! Cheers from Italy,

Well, Gianpy, it is quite hard to keep your balance between your dream and reality. Actually I was struggling with it last year… I looked for job in the City and outside of the City…
I sent my resumes and portfolios, and had interview with companies outside of NY, but I tried to stay in NY because it is where I wanted to build my first career.
My current status is not what I really expected, but it is not my fault, even though somethimes I look back my past and consider “BUT” with a little regret – to be honest – I’m still fine and pround of my decision.
Moreover, I’m glad to see so many nice people like you & rest of my friends in school. So why do I have to stick to the past? At least I can feel that I’m going forward, and learn what I would not be able to experience with my first plan.
You can learn and get something from anything as long as you are positive, and concentrate on your daily life.

I agree… we can dream our life , even if we can’t live our dreams … think of this : a dream realised is always a dream which dies , then it’s important the way we have to do to reach it , not only the arrival … mr but , I think , can’t never become a friend of us … in my life it has always been a limit,I consider it a bad company, fortunately in my dreams it doesn’t exist…
What lienratibg knowledge. Give me liberty or give me death.
[…] Ultimately, the wide lens encourages us to ask questions such as “Regardless of the outcome of this issue, how can I grow and learn from it”. Learning from the past and focus on what can be done by us (not by others) promotes a sustainable approach to our future growth. We now have the theory and the new tools. Tell the right stories and your life journey will confidently follow the path of your dreams. […]
