【正确答案】
As is vividly showed in this drawing, there is always discrepancy between dream and reality. The man dreams of having an apple fall down from the tree while in reality he has to swallow a worm. The purpose of the drawing is to tell us that sometimes instead of willful dreams, we can only confront with bitter reality.
Several reasons might result in this difference. First, we often dream but we seldom take actions. However, dreaming cannot turn reality into the way we desire. We need to strive for what we want, or else, we can only end in disappointment. Secondly, the external circumstances are changing all the time. Sometimes it is not up to us to decide which way to go. Therefore, people are forced to sway back and forth. Our expectations and dreams seem to be never in compliance with reality.
Facing such situation, we need to first adjust our mindset. We should stand on our own feet, grasp those things that subject to our control, and try our best to realize our dreams. Daydream or endless complaints won't help at all. The only way to success is to rely on ourselves, stick to the right path, and work towards the aim step by step.
