Anyone can be a rocket scientist if they really want to.
Everyone can have a dream and with effort, their dreams can come true. It is thought that the efforts to achieve their goals require expertise and skillful physical abilities. However, they also need psychological self-fulfillment to make our dreams come true. Many psychologists and philosophers have different expressions of self-fulfillment. However, their overall idea of self-fulfillment is the same; to achieve our goals in life. This process requires two important points: to be yourself, and to bring out and use your ability and potential. That is, they said that it is important to go through life without comparing yourself to others. The ultimate goal for us would be to do our best to bring out our potential and achieve our goals.
How should we achieve self-fulfillment for our dreams? It is thought that there are some conditions to achieve self-fulfillment. Firstly, we should face our honest feelings and accept our feelings without doubt. Secondly, we should listen to the various opinions of others and create new strategies without being influenced by stereotypes. Thirdly, we should voluntarily contribute to society, using our resources and advantages. Finally, we should build good communication with others and cooperate with each other. However, we also require basic needs to create and fulfill these conditions. For example, healthy lives, adequate jobs and income. We are able to achieve self-fulfillment, that is, in society by being needed, recognized, and assessed sufficiently by others.
Japanese major league baseball player, Shohei Otani, received the MVP as a two-way player in the American Baseball League this year. When he was a high school student, Otani would make charts with many targets in order to achieve his goals. He created many targets to achieve his ultimate goals in the chart; however, the targets were not only baseball skills but also personal goals in his daily life. For example: greetings, gratitude, consideration, picking up trash, cleaning up rooms, reading books, and using baseball equipment carefully. Of course, he is succeeding in the American baseball league by his own great efforts. However, his efforts may be stem from the encouragement and support from many fans because he is loved by people around the world. Dreams will come true, if there are both effort, encouragement and support from people who you love.
