Being a dreamer is hard work

by John on May 24, 2010

From Douglas Engelbart, inventor of the computer mouse:

I confess that I am a dreamer. Someone once called me just a dreamer. That offended me, the just part; being a real dreamer is hard work. It really gets hard when you start believing your dreams.

There’s either the hard work of following your dreams, or the harder work of living a slow death without them.

Yep. That is the slimy underbelly of dreams; work. If we depend on anything but dedication and discipline in order to be a dreamer we’ll end up a bitter a-hole like Matt said. Enjoy the blog immensely.

Being a Dreamer, and working at it, can make you bitter anyway… but that is no time to stop believing. It might mean you are getting close to seeing them come true.
