About the Quote
Dreams don't come true without work. The bigger the dream, the more work is needed to realize that dream. Although some dreams are reliant on luck-- just ask the 6 NBA Finalists who lost to the Chicago Bulls teams of the Michael Jordan era or the 11 NBA Finalists who lost to the Boston Celtics of the Bill Russell era-- work is still required to reach that point.
Dreams are best when they require work. These tend to be big dreams. If it's easy to achieve a dream (such as becoming a store manager at a second location as a result of a transfer), then the dream isn't big enough. For the amount of thinking needed to achieve a dream, we may as well think big and dream large. In order to realize the big dream, it's also necessary to realize any number of smaller dreams which themselves mark major milestones.
Along the way there will be failure, setbacks, and lessons to be learned. Some of these moments will be hard and painful, while others will be merely inconveniences or speed bumps. They may suck to experience, but they may also be part of the process of realizing the big dream.
