For many years I have been a proud dreamer. I could get lost in the clouds for hours, dreaming of __________ to far away countries and enjoying different cultures there. My dream __________: a bestselling author, changing people’s hearts with my words, or a reporter, serving the people and giving __________ to those who have not been heard for centuries.

I spend most of my time on dreaming. What’s the problem with spending so much time dancing among sunset-painted cotton candy clouds? Well, the __________ is that my bare feet seldom kiss the earth, and by being lost in my dreams often, I become _________ from my own real life and out of touch with the people I love.

“Stop dreaming. Be a doer not a dreamer,” the famous television producer Shonda Rhimes described in her __________ for the graduating class of Dartmouth. “You just have to keep doing something, catching the next chance, staying open to __________ something new. It doesn’t have to satisfy your imagination of the perfect job or the perfect life. Perfect is boring and dreams are not __________ . Just... DO.”

One of the hardest lessons a dreamer has to learn is that in order to cultivate（培养）the type of life we fictionalize（幻想）so often, we must match our dreams with __________. Otherwise, as Shonda puts it, “Dreamers often end up living in the basement（地下室）of relatives.”

Another hard truth that we dreamers must _________ is that by being lost in dreaming, we overlook（忽视） ourselves. We usually dream of becoming _________ else. We dream about the person who is not us, and this is a problem because it _________ we would rather be others instead of ourselves.

So, this is me waving goodbye to my cotton candy clouds. I am _________ myself to meet my dreams with action. It won’t be _________. Those light and soft clouds have been a great source of comfort through the endless thunder storms that have disrupted（打扰）my life.It’s comfortable.

However, as my best friend often ________ me, good things don’t always bring comfort, even hell（地狱）can get comfortable if you stay there long enough.

The best thing for us is challenging. It is a lot more meaningful than those cotton candy
