When we think about the dreams we have, it is surprising to see how many people failed even if they could have succeeded. So today I'm going to tell you five ways to kill your dreams.

    Believe in overnight success.

    Everyone knows the story of a tech guy who built a mobile app and sold it for a lot of money. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If you investigate further, you will find that he is well educated and has been working on the project for 20 years. Therefore, your overnight success is always a result of what you've done in your life.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Constantly, people around you always have opinions on which path you should take. But whichever way you choose, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And one day you need to solve those problems yourself.

Decide to rest when success is guaranteed.

When your life is going great and everything is set— time to rest. Actually, when you're growing towards a peak, you need to work even harder and find yourself another peak. If you were content with what you've accomplished, it would stop you from a greater success.

    Believe the fault is someone else's.

    I constantly see people saying, “I created this great product, but the market is so bad.” If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one bought your product, surely there is something there that is your fault.

    Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.

    Achieving a dream is a short moment, but your life is not. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} And the only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey.
