On page 33 in "Tuesday with Morrie", Mitch had wrote "The eighties happened. the nineties happened....I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never realized I was doing it." This passage let me think a lot. Al so reminded me that day professor ask in class if we could choose. Are we going to chose a job that you love, but have lower pay or a job you hate, but have higher pay. And I answered that I want the second one.

I could say life is build up with the dreams. But sometimes dream is just a dream. No matter how hard you try. It just like a bubble in the air. Even though it can reflect beautiful colors.

So then he decide to give up his dream become a reporter which gets good amount of paid. People always said no pays, no gains. Yes, that's true too. But I think sometimes life doesn't always goes what we want it. 266
