If you have big dreams, you have to keep on trying in order to make them come true. Here are five tips that might help you.
● 1.If you really want to do it, then, ask yourself a question: Do I really have any talent for this? This question is important because you don't want to waste your energy on something in which you're not talented.
● Now think about how you are going to achieve this. Do you have to study? Which university should you choose? Which qualifications do you need?2.Make sure you know why you want to do this. Write down the answer, and keep it where you can always see it, so that it will always keep you motivated.
● Know what makes successful people successful. Successful people have willpower, confidence and optimism. A successful person will never give up easily. Take Walt Disney for example. At first, nobody liked his ideas, but he believed in himself and continued working on them.3.If you really want to do something, it doesn't matter what others say. Keep on working at it, and you will get what you want in the end.

● Fight for your goals. Is lack of money a problem? Then do something about it! There's always a solution, as long as you keep looking for it. There are many musicians, writers, singers and actors who were poor at first.5.

Many people say that looking back is meaningless because it can neither change the past nor bring it back to life, but I disagree as I enjoy the sense of nostalgia (怀旧感), which can remind me of how life used to be when I was younger. Don't get me wrong, however. I'm not one of those who love to talk ad nauseam about "the good old days".
As we know, there are moments when the past springs into the present. It's often a smell that will remind me of a particular place or person. A perfume, the scent of a flower, baking bread, bonfires...they all create an instant picture. For me it is the smell of a freshly painted room. We moved so many times when I was younger and each time the first thing my parents would do is decorate our bedrooms. The windows would be kept open to get rid of the smell of the paint but it would always linger on (留存) for days. Even today it fills me with a sense of new beginnings.
Those memories are fleeting (飞逝). But when I visit the seaside resort where we used to spend many of our family holidays, I can replay entire days in my head. I can vividly remember the weather, the salty smell of the sea, our dogs playing in the water, an ice cream and that feeling of exhaustion after a day in the fresh air.
Although having many photos of those days, I rarely look at them as I prefer to allow my memory to create the pictures. Today we can so easily capture (捕捉) the present with phones and cameras, upload the images and share that moment with our friends online. But, for me, that somehow takes away the unique connection.

During my first year in college I was forced to do something I didn't want to do: Plan a budget. With great resentment (愤慨) for 6 months I used pens to mark my expenses into 10 different categories. I then came up with a monthly average for each category. It was not until a decade later that I realized the simple exercise of learning to manage money is the best investment.
For most of you, college may be the first time you'll be managing money on your own, and it's easy to blow past your college budget. But overspending could leave you broke or worse, buried in debt. According to Edvisors, 64% of college students have run out of money before the end of the semester. And the consequence is that it will take them the following several years to pay back that big amount.
Before sharing with you my approaches 10 dealing with the situation, I'd like to make you aware of something first. Based on researches, over-spenders mainly fall into one of the following categories.
a. Image spenders use money in highly visible ways, caring much about their appearance. Their motto is "If I look beautiful, I am beautiful."
b. Compulsive (难控制的) shoppers use shopping as a distraction (分心) from unwanted negative feelings. Whenever down, they purchase to "drown" the bad feeling.
c. Bargain-hunting spenders care more about "getting the deal". Their satisfaction comes from the bargaining process or grabbing the bargains.
1.What did the writer do in college?
A.She never made both ends meet. B.She recorded the money she spent.
C.She enjoyed making investment. D.She had to buy things she disliked.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.A plan of making a budget. B.The danger of overspending.
C.A style of paying off debts. D.The value of attending college.
3.What do compulsive shoppers and bargain-hunting spenders have in common?
A.Paying great attention to their appearance. B.Seeing the harm of overspending.
C.Satisfying themselves by spending on food. D.Buying too many unwanted items.
4.What may probably be mentioned next by the writer?
A.Ways to manage money. B.Examples of success.
C.Consequences of overspending. D.Secrets of happy life .
