A book about how to bring your ideas to life. We should realize our dreams ourselves, not passing them on to the next generation. By doing this, we can truly help our children to realize their own dreams.
W. Johnson
The author of this book is not a psychologist. She is a bachelor of music and president of an investment company. Strange combination? Whitney Johnson studied music at the insistence of her parents, but she made a career in business on her own initiative — and not only having a suitable education, but even self-confidence. “I realized that achieving goals requires not so much a diploma or professional training, but a belief in the existence of opportunities and being where you can discover them.” In essence, these words from the preface are a synopsis of the whole book, which deals with the same thing, but with detailed instructions (“start with short-term projects”; “trust the competence of partners”) and with a first-person storytelling of different people. Thus, it is not only about dreams as such — but about how to turn them into reality. As for the children mentioned in the title, there is a subtle nuance here: it is important to separate what we dream about for our children from what actually applies to us. We should realize our dreams ourselves, not passing them on to the next generation. By doing this, we can truly help our children to realize their own dreams.
