The World Never sleeps. Why should our dreams?



I really wanted to comment on this commercial that I saw a while back because the message that it's sending to its audience is very motivational and truly inspirational. The extent to which these market researchers and advertisers have been able to tap into it's audiences emotions seems uncanny!

This commercial broadcasted throughout millions of televisions has inspired me to continue to reach for my dreams not matter how hard the fight and how long and strenuous the road may be. If I don’t wake up thinking about the most efficient ways I’m going to go about reaching my dreams and my goals I will be doing myself a disservice. Not to mention anyone that I plan on having a positive effect on during my rise to excellence.

One thing I realized about this commercial was the quote, 'the world never sleeps". As a U.S citizen, I may never have to worry about how European or Asian countries effect me in any way, shape or form, but what we should keep in mind as citizens of the world is that you and I are not the only ones struggling for a better tomorrow. As I stated in my first post, the struggles that we face on the road to achieving excellence in its entirety are deeply similar. We all have aspirations and goals and ambitions we are fighting for and the idea of giving up can never be an option. The hopes and dreams in poverty stricken, third world countries are in some sense much more sever than those I seek with all the opportunity I am given. I am in no position to complain or give up. God has blessed.

We too, like the inspirational message in this simple commercial have to work around the clock to turn our dreams into realities. I’m doing my best to turn my dreams into realities even if means taking a humble approach to a broken system or taking the back seat to a corrupt government.

the thing about this ad that captured my attention was "every night you sleep, but your dreams are wide awake." it reminded me of me. the scene tells a story. there is a home putting the lights out then there is a busy highway. i have been there myself. awake in the busy city where i have felt loneliness and motivated at the same time. motivation always prevails. always:>

Thanks a bunch for the comments!

Ya this commercial connects with everyone at a certain level because we can all relate to its message of hope and aspirations.

I know for me I have to stay motivated to achieve my dreams because I'm not in the position financially and otherwise to just relax and enjoy life as it passes by. I think we need to hold onto our dreams and make them happen even while others sleep.
