Dream for a dream. A dream?

Caption

We step on the rainbow to find our dream.

Commentary

Many stories tell us that rainbow is the bridge for connecting dream and the reality of us. It is beautiful and full of imagination and fantasy. I love rainbow and I like to have a dream. Nowadays, the 90's children dream for nothing. They loss their targets and they don't know what they want to do. This problem may be caused by the very good living environment around them. Why don't the 90's children have dream? In the early 50's, the society in Hong Kong was poor and unsafe because of wars. The dream of the people at that time was to get well-clothed and well-fed. They had a desire for fulfilling these basic needs. The dream of 60's and 70's people was to be rich and famous through studying hard and working hard. How about the dream of us? When the society becomes prosperous, we have everything we need. We have chance for free education and our parents pay full attention to us because of small family size. We rely on others very much. Everything is well-prepared. All our lives are filled up with many things every moment. We sometimes lack creative thinking and weak imagination in due course because our parents put their 'dreams' on us. For example, they want us to be a doctor or follow in the footstep of Mr. Li Ka Shing and many other successful persons. Oh my God! Give us more space and we could go to 'SPACE'.

Water, Leaves and Nature

Caption

How three tiny water droplets on a clover can build a healthy nature.

Commentary

Water provides moisture to the environment and it can improve people's health by supplying oxygen to them. Water helps leaves to grow to become trees which can produce fruits for people for their growth. Leaves which turn to fruits can supply juice for people to ease their thirst. Leaves act as a shield for people, protecting them against harmful UV rays and preventing people from getting skin cancer. Nature acts as a greenhouse. It ensures a continuous supply of water and leaves. It offers a comfort zone for everything to grow healthily. I hope that the world will not run out of water and the plants can grow to become trees so that human beings can be protected by nature.

Human Dreams Reflected in Our Palm Lines

Caption

How our palm lines reflect destiny, human dreams and the meaning of life

Commentary

Our palm lines are like a network. They link up love, life and career. They also represent dreams, destiny and different meanings. Some people will look for palm readers to know and predict whether their dreams can come true. This zigzag pattern of palm lines is like our destiny which consists of ups and downs. To realize our dreams, we need to work hard and not give up. Some people have a palm line pattern that they think is not reflecting a good destiny. I believe that with trust and confidence in ourselves, we should not be affected by the length or pattern of my palm lines. I should have my own dreams and try different means to realize it. What about you?

Small Cage, Big Dream

Caption

Under the sky, my cage is as small as my slim hope; inside the cage, my dream is as big as the high blue sky.

Commentary

I was a beautiful bird born in a cage. I ate here, I slept here. A satisfying life in the cage I lived in, day by day, night by night. But once the sky was in my sight, blue and white with bright sunshine, high up in the sky birds freely fly. I immediately got a big inborn dream to reach the outside. I found my cage was getting smaller and smaller; I found my wings become stronger and stronger; I found my heart started to beat faster and faster. My instinct told me that I should live free. I dreamed for someone to open my cage door and set me free; I dreamed one day I could spread my wings and fly in the sky. I dreamed and dreamed with all my heart, But I knew these could only happen when I was really in a dream. I was a caged bird born under the sky, Being blue and pining in a cage, I lived day by day, night by night. I ate here, I slept here, I dreamed here.
