Almost everyone once had a seemingly unrealistic dream as a child but only a minority of people can follow that passion all the way from childhood to adulthood. As reality has failed them again and again, it is plausible that the majority has given up. One of the profound questions
as a result
 of
this
 gap between ideal and reality is whether we should just muddle along with that unappealing
life

My opinion is that we should not be told to do the right thing or not as each individual has a different mission in

. For those who value family, accepting an unsatisfactory job may mean nothing for them while for those who are ambitious, pursuing their own ideal
life
 may be the best choice. In conclusion, understanding the factors that influence what kind of
