About This Quote

Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore. People with big dreams often pursue their younger siblings dreams recklessly. They do this because they feel like they can do it better than their siblings can. However, this reckless behavior is not good for the people they are pursuing.

The problem with pursuing someone else’s dream is that you can never measure up to your goal. You put all your effort into that dream only to find that you are just not good enough to achieve it. At least with your own dreams, you know what it takes to achieve them.
