Ok, this is a quick one.
I just opened a Dove chocolate (with caramel, yum!) and inside the saying was "Dare to Dream." Dare to Dream is a stupid saying. It really, really is. We all dream. Whether we want to or not. Often when we're unconscious (how daring!), but I would wager my car that at least 95% of us daydream too. It doesn't require any effort to dream. It doesn't risk anything. The saying should be "Dare to ACT on your dreams." Which is still usually wrong, I know most of my dreams are ludicrous, but at least then it would be a teensy bit inspiring. Dreaming of being a writer? That doesn't mean jack until you start writing. Dreaming of climbing a mountain? That won't make your feet move. Dreaming of becoming a great chef? Then stop making ramen for lunch everyday! We all dream. That is not impressive or daring or worth mentioning in a Dove chocolate wrapper. But not everyone does anything about their dreams.
Rant over.

You are right, Susie! Dreaming is easy, acting is tougher.
