TOM 1. PIWOOZ AND DREAMS CHAPTER 1
WHAT I WANT TO SAY I want to talk to you about the path you will take. You are going to follow roads, you won’t always know what road to take, but you will take one and life will test you. Life will try to figure out if what you think you want is truly what you want. Sometimes you will get lost but So hold onto your dreams, and your dreams will bring you to where you should be.

EXPLAIN THE QUOTE
O
nce, Sean Stephenson said: “If you have a heartbeat, there’s still time for your dreams”. As every car needs a motor to move, humans need a heart to move. We could be the strongest, the smartest, but without a spark in our motor we couldn’t climb to the top of any mountain. Life will test your motivation to achieve your dreams. It will drop huge rocks on you. You can avoid some, but sometimes you will get hit. You will get hurt, you will cry, you will doubt yourself. Having a dream, a goal, helps you understand why we are going though time and without it, the ocean seems to be a desert and not a road. One day, I felt lost in the middle of a huge city. It was in Vancouver, Canada, where I went after I finished my schooling to find a job in animation. There are a lot of animation studios and visual effects companies, but I just couldn’t find my place. It was really hard to be
somewhere so far from home, without speaking the English language and being a junior in a field with few vacancies. My dream was to work for Walt Disney Animation Studio, and this goal is what allowed me to persevere and find a job. I am sure that without a solid dream, I would have given up and went back to France and my life would be very different.

TEST PEOPLE FROM THE QUOTE Pick a % that shows how long you spend working on your dream per day? (e.g. 25%)
• 0%. By not spending time on your dream you are not
moving toward it. Maybe life is pushing you in another direction but you don’t have to let it push you around anymore. Your spark will burn out if you stay on this road any longer. You can do it.
• 25%.(This is where most people lie). Well, stone after
stone we built castles. It takes time but life didn’t give you the opportunity to spend more time on your dream. I guess it comes down to what you think or maybe you have a job that you can’t leave at the moment. Being in a different company, you could increase your % time on your dream. See, if you don’t spend time on useless activities such as social networks or watching a dozen movies a day, you could spend more time trying to achieve your dream.
• 50%. I personally think is the right %. Why? Well de-
pends on how you spend the rest of your time. If you spend 50% of your time working on your dream, you have time to spend with your friends, your family, time to travel and time to work on someone else. Why not having a freelance job on the side and have time to go to the gym? But if you spend this last 50% watching movies and eating chips, well if you are happy, I am happy for you too.
• 75%. At this point you probably work on your dream 08
when others work for the dream of someone else. And maybe you work on weekends. You believe in your dream

and you are not spending time on useless activities. You are focusing on your dream. You made the choice to sometimes skip some outings and maybe you work even when you travel. You have the life of an entrepreneur. Keep going!
• 100%.Your dream has to be big if it takes all your
time and energy. On one hand this is awesome, because you spend your time on your dream and not working for the dream of someone else. On the other, remember to always live your life, go out to see your friends, your family and spend time doing activities you enjoy. We only have one life and the purpose of this life is to live it not just watch it passing by.
