Exciting the Inspiration in mind

I read this blog entry from student 2.0. This is about inspiration. From deep in my mind I thought about this before and I found two sides. One is saying follow your inspiration and another one is saying look at the reality. Ｉstruggled making this kind of decisions. Should I keep on doing it or not? For example, In textbook or literature book many books tell you to follow your dreams but in reality many things are different. My father always tell me to wake up but in many time I cannot tell the difference of "wake up". At last I think I have to define "wake up" by my self. I think there is no "wake up". It is only about you know what you are doing. If you know what you are doing then you are "awaken" I felt same way as Kaelie Giffel does but the important thing is that I am "a-waked"and I have the inspiration of what I want to do and want to be in my mind.
