Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

There's a bunch of reasons that i can think of right now.

:friends/family influence

I was born with plenty of..talent. I loved singing, and dreamed about being a singer, but i was told that I wasn't pretty enough, and did i have a voice! I loved drawing but my mom kept on telling me how useless that is and that artists die in hunger. I loved justice, and wanted to become a judge, but my parents kept on telling me that i am not smart enough. So.. I gave up on doing things i loved and dreamed about. Now, I started dreaming again, now, when there is no influence arround me anymore to suppress who i am, but following my dream now comes at a cost; a cost i can not afford. I didn't give up on this one yet but seems financially impossible.

What is truer than that which is true?

:financial struggles

:not enough support

Hope this helps clear it up a bit. Is my personal experience, it doesn't have to be this.

What are your funniest "lost in translation" moments if you grew up speaking more than one language?

Telling others about your dreams. They can then ridiculize you. And you can begin to kind of..back off.
