8/29/10 Quotation

One Piece
"We shouldn't worry about being able to achieve our dreams, as long as we have the desire to do it!" - Coby

This quote was in one of the earliest chapters of this story, but in a way it resonates throughout the entire series. The main character Monkey D. Luffy dreams of becoming the Pirate King and claiming the treasure of One Piece. The treasure itself does not interest him as much as the adventure reaching One Piece.

This quote revolves around almost everyone in the world that as aspirations or goals in life that they wish to achieve. Sure, once you reach the goal you will be satisfied, but it's the effort to achieve that goal or dream that really matters. For example, there are two boys that dream of becoming doctors. One of them puts all his effort and time into learning and putting honest work into his degree, while the other boy bribes his professors and try underhanded tricks to get his degree. They both end up with the same degree, but who comes out on top? Sure at first the second boy may be happy, but on the long run the lack of work won't help him much and he won't be as happy about his career contrast to the first boy who out his whole heart into his work and finally achieving that dream.
