Yes, hope is always alright when we have a good understanding of purpose and work, one thing is to hope and the other part, most people neglect is work. For hope to be effective we need to work closely towards our dreams. I want to be a Scientist but I don't wanna go to schools to learn, that's a good example of hope without work. Even though most times we try to work towards that'l dream, but still lack some of the essential tools we needed to do the work.
