It may sound like I am making too much out of all this, but the only way you can allow a kid to truly dream is if you expand their idea of what is currently possible. A kid who has nothing, sees nothing, and is taught nothing can only dream of breakfast. They can only hope to get to the next moment successfully. I want more than that for my kids..just like my mom wanted more than that for me. And I want them to want more than that too. W. Kamau Bell
About This Quote

The world has changed drastically since the day that he was born. People are no longer content with just having breakfast or lunch, they are now dreaming of having brunch, dinner, dessert, and even dessert courses. They are dreaming of seeing their favorite stars stepping on stage to perform at their favorite clubs. The best part is that they can actually do these things themselves if they work hard enough. So, you have to give your kids the tools to help them achieve their goals.
