Escape Dreams

Escape dreams are not real passions, just momentary flights of the imagination.

It’s an interesting to note that escape dreams, like flying jet fighters, are very easy to think about and very risky to actually do, while real dreams usually involve no real risk at all.

Real Dreams

Real Dreams don't require you to abandon your family, quit your job, and move to Tahiti with your paint brush.

They just require that you search your soul for that deep dream you put aside and go for it.

Whenever you do what you really love, your heart lifts, your mind opens, and everything changes. You wake up. That's what true adventure really is.

View from one Chinese lady

A Chinese lady told me: “I am very interested in immigrating to Australia, In China, everyone is doing what they don’t like."

"In my hospital, very few people are enjoying being doctors, it’s simply not a position; it is more about how to deal with a complicated relationship between colleagues and managers.”

“But the most important thing, it is for a better education and living environment for my kid.”

Different views from two Aussies 

However, An Aussie guy told me: “Australia has been changed so much, it’s nothing like it used to be, I am ashamed of being Australian, we don’t have culture, I want to go to a nice country like Amsterdam.”

I remembered one Aussie lady said: “All Chinese kids are so smart, they go to the best Uni in Australia, the basic education system in China is much better than in Australia. I don’t know what are my kids learning in the school? The teachers are just hopeless.”

What’s wrong with everyone?

It seems to me nobody is enjoying the real world, you are all having an escape dream for a fantasy world.

Each year, there are so many business and skilled immigrants moving to Australia by quitting their prestige jobs or shutting down businesses in China with the high expectation of an imagined wonderland in Australia.

Real Life in Australia

When they are facing the reality in Australia, it is exactly like products from the supermarket.

Business immigrants are running very small shops by losing money and have to shut down after a few years once obtain PR in Australia, while the majority skilled immigrants, women are doing accounting or nurse (well, I am also one of them), men are doing IT or Finance etc.

If you truly love doing the above things, that would be different, in fact, not many people are doing what they love from the inner heart.

Even some people asked one of my Chinese friends: “What’s the point you work and study so hard, we come to Australia enjoying life.”

Is this the way they are living a better life: they don’t know how to communicate in English and don’t bother to learn.

Every day they visit my friend’ mobile shop trying to kill time by chatting with the staff and never stopped complaining how bored they are in Australia as that's totally different from what they imagined- a perfect world.

No, that is not life, there's no life at all; I can’t see there are hope and future.

It is even worse than live in China.

Find a real dream

The only thing you can change your fate is to change your attitude and find a real dream which is unique only belongs to you.

It doesn’t matter where you live, China or Australia, it relates to whether you have found something you truly love and have the courage to do it.

It is like in your 40s, you would like to be a Uni student, or learn a musical instrument or join a cooking course or something touches your heart, then go for it.

If you have no idea what you really love to do, please ask yourself, what do you admire other people most?

If you admire someone speaks fluent English; then you can learn from ABC, or if you admire your friend’s perfect body shape, then go for swimming, sports, reading or running etc.

Having a fulfilling and exciting life

Once you join activities, you will go outside meet mind-like people; you will have a feeling of excitement and fulfilling.

One day, you will really appreciate for moving into a new country as you are making nice friends and learning different cultural things.

You will find the world fascinating as you are meeting amazing people and experiencing an exciting new life.

Please don’t get a wrong impression that moving to a new country will lead you into a fulfilling life by doing nothing you love or expecting someone else can change your life.
