It is foolishness to believe that you can be whatever you want to be especially if someone else has the same dream

It is not foolishness to believe that you can be whatever you want.

Every person is a unique individual with a different background and upbringing and thus this means you have different goals and aspirations. People's goals and aspirations can be similar or the same but just because two things are the same doesn't cancel them out.

Having realistic expectations are important when having goals and aspirations because naturally, you cannot become a unicorn or own the world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
