A dream is a wish burning with a great desire toward fulfilment. A dream without strong bones collapses in front of reality. Dreams are bubble like thoughts – you catch them as you grow and learn.

With a strong belief, the Colonel kept his dream close to heart no matter how challenging the journey was. “I’ve only had two rules: Do all you can and do it the best you can.
