The conflict between dreams and family by iram 24

There are two types of people in the world. The first leave everything to go forward in life, to get to where their dreams take them. They learn and go on to do bigger and better things but in return they forget the real essence of life which is family. However some day they will look over their shoulder's and see they have nothing but wealth. And not a single soul to share it with. 
The second type just bury their dreams in a small chest in their heart at a young age because they know that one fateful day will come when they can share their gift with not only their family but with the whole world. 
The difference between these two groups of people is that the first group leaves everything including family for their dreams but the second group uses their family to be the inspiration for a whole new list of dreams.

A good line of thought, though obviously there are those who manage to come somewhere between the two.

Iram, it was said that if someone offer you two alternatives, you should insist on the third.  You have described two types of people in the world... there's a third type who manage to balance their "personal" dreams with their love for their family.

Ah yes, the most important possession, 'Family', this is by far the better of the two in riches, the second would be those who have money and possessions, but no real love others than themselves! Well done for this point of view.

Your thoughts are good and i like them.  However, it needs to have a specific form.  Is this an article?  If so, why is it only in a single paragraph? 

Cheers!

This was a well thought out piece, I particularly liked the phrase to bury one's dreams in a small chest in their heart. The only (minor fault that I could find with it was that the word faithful should possibly of been fateful, anyway nice to see a short essay rather than yet another poem from some-one;
Well done
