“Please Keep Your Dreams Alive.”

Daylight Savings Time (Spring Forward) was celebrated by watching the Academy Award opening monologue and Oscar Winner acceptance speeches. A powerful speech can be delivered in a variety of ways, but one in particular was delightful.

Ke Huy Quan shared these word pearls:

“Dreams are something you have to believe in.
I almost gave up on mine.
To all of you out there—
Please keep your dreams alive.”

There you have it, the olde adage from a favorite classic 1985 film, The Goonies, still applies today: “Goonies never say ‘Die’.” - Michael Walsh (played by Sean Astin) in the Goonies

(Admittedly, I did not remember Ke Huy Quan by name or face, instantly, but as soon as I heard “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “Data in the Goonies” my eyes lit up because it was like seeing an old, familiar childhood friend from a VHS tape.)

Here we have an actual Goonie reminding everyone to, “Please keep your dreams alive.”

Sounds like sound (logical, reasonable) advice to follow.
