Dreams, Hopes, and Plans

Sure, they dream and plan—but then they work, work, and work some more until they get what they want. Sometimes they don’t achieve their dreams exactly how they expected, but they do get there. The dreams, hopes, and plans keep their minds from getting trapped in the crummy present, keeping them afloat by imagining a world that is better than their current one.
