Dreams

"You see things; and you say "Why?"But

I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

George Bernard Shaw

When I look at the world today and see all the bad things that are happening, I say why. If I could change the world, this is how I would do it. I would write a letter to the president to tell him my ideas. I would see if we could bring peace to the world and all of us just get along. When I lay down at night, I dream of all the nice things that I could do for the world. I would make it a lovely place if I could. It seems to overwhelming to me but I still try to keep my candle lit and be one bright spot in the world. G. Bernard Shaw was born in 1856 in Dublin, passed away in 1950 at the age of 94 in Hertfordshire, England. By the early 1900's shaw awas a well-established playwright. His works included Fanny's First 1911 on which the award-winning film My Fair Lady (1956) was based.

My Fair Lady the Broadway musical could be produced only after Shaw's death. In the play Fanny undergoes dramatic changes from a lower class street peddler to a sophisticated woman of grace. I believe, like Shaw, that if we all do a little better, the world will become a better place, why not?
