What is the distance between dreams and reality?

It feels like a slogan or common phrase for the distance between our dreams and reality which means what we will do in the path or gap between. Although, I do think that Action and Discipline are the keys but they are not the true and real one as we can take any action to avoid our dreams, we can be discipline to something else, it cannot be true if we work so hard in the opposite directions.

We can take actions by avoiding our dreams and we can be discipline but not chasing our dreams. It is all summarized as hard-working but in our chinese society, we have a term called the Choice is more important than the Efforts. (選擇比努力更重要)

Imagine that you are on the escalator, if you are going up, but you take the opposite direction, then you will be so hard to get up. Perhaps one day you can go up and in scientifically, you need to be faster than the escalator. However, if you take the one who can lift you up, you do not need to even run. Now the problem is. How should we choose the right path?

The distance between dreams and reality is not action or discipline but education. And this will allow you to deal with the uncertainty and making a right decision so that you can choose a right path. Assume that you are willing to become a doctor, you need professional education which is about medical, biology or chemistry and so on. You do not need to take courses of engineering or computer sciences, you can get rid of your horrible art skills.

However, I believe that education can be classified into many parts and it is up to us to decide what the right education is. Moreover, Education is the distance between your dreams and reality because it is the HOW!, the CHOICE and WHAT Action you needs to take and Why have to be discipline.
