听说过这样一个励志故事吗？有一位非常有名的魔术师，当记者问起他成功的秘诀时，他带着记者，来到他平日演出的宏大剧场门口。记者以为他会走进富丽堂皇的大门，没想到他领着记者来到了马路对面的一个下水道口。

魔术师告诉记者：“你躺在这里，假设自己是在冬天的夜晚饥寒交迫，试试你能看到些什么？”魔术师很和气地说。

那位记者就曲身躺在地上，他闻到了下水道发出的恶臭。他看到了香喷喷的饭店和华美的商场，还看到无数的人腿在向着剧场走动。另外，有一截突出的窗台就在头顶侧面悬着，如同丑陋的屋檐。他边看边报告给魔术师听。魔术师说：“很好，你看得很全面。不过，在窗台的水泥上，请你看得再仔细一点。你还可以有所发现。”

在魔术师的一再提示下，那位记者看到了窗台的下方，有一行模糊的字迹。他拼命瞪大眼睛，才辨识出那是这位魔术师的小名。

“很多年前，我是一个乡下来的孩子，”魔术师说，“冬天，我蜷着身子躺在这里。你知道下水道口尽管恶臭，但比较暖和，从来不会结冰。我看到了满天星斗，知道明天更冷。我还看到了食品和衣物，但我身无分文。我甚至看到无数的人到对面的剧场去观看演出。”我萌生了一个梦想——有一天，我也要到这座辉煌剧院里去，不是去观看演出，是让别人观看我的演出。这想法让我从地上捡起了一根铁钉，用冻僵的手指，把自己的名字刻在水泥窗台上了……

“你问我为什么会成功，就这么简单。” magician said with a smile. “I used a rusty iron nail to carve out my dream here, every time I lost confidence, I come back here. When I leave, courage fills my chest again.”

At the end of the story, the reporter asked if he could see the famous iron nail that had sparked his success. The magician smiled and picked up an iron nail from the ground. “Here it is,” he said. “It's not important what this iron nail looks like; there are plenty more where this came from. What's important is carving your own name into it.”

This story doesn't tell us who this magician is called but he taught us an invaluable lesson: we all have dreams when we're young or even older - almost everyone has one or once had one at some point in their lives. The key difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don't is whether our dreams are realizable or just fantasies.

If our dreams are realistic and achievable, we should use them as motivation to take action towards realizing them instead of just daydreaming about them or letting them drift away.

As for you readers out there, remember to use positive thinking and make your dreams a reality by taking concrete actions towards achieving them - that's what people with ambition do!
