A
(2018·新乡市模拟)Did you ever have a dream? I'm not talking about a dream you have when you sleep.I'm talking about a conscious 1 where you would like to see a new future，a different choice of employment，and a 2 of your own.How many times have you wished that you could be living in a different 3 than the one you are 4 experiencing?
Several years ago，I had a dream about inventing a board game that would 5 my life's fortunes.After many revisions，a board game was developed.It was a(n) 6 time.Our dream seemed to come true with sales starting to accumulate，and our company was also 7 .
8 ，another new board game 9 the market and made great progress in sales.Eventually，our company was dissolved.
Perhaps for a game developer，the 10 emotions that it never was meant to be will discourage his future dreams of a different life.But to me，maybe I didn't succeed to the level I 11 ，at the very least I turned my dream 12 a reality. 13 I had never transferred my dream into goal and then to action，there wouldn't have been 14 lessons to be learned from the failure.It may take many 15 but success is only achieved.Once dreams are 16 action，failure becomes a 17 action plan in future.The important 18 here is that success only comes by turning dreams into reality and realizing that 19 are only stepping-stones to final success.After many attempts，many failures，many lessons and many false starts，learn valuable lessons from failure，turn dreams into 20 ，and don't let a dream only be a dream，success will arrive at last.
