Naive
I remember very vividly when i was 9, i was tutored by an aunt (whom i shall not name). She taught me math and arithmetics. Half-way through, we deviated as she attempted to impart her ideologies of realism.

Inch: But why?
Aunt: What do you mean why! You have to be realistic! Why dream about something that's unattainable. I mean. you can't make a deaf girl sing can you!?
Inch: ... But why can't a deaf girl sing?
Aunt: If she can't hear, how can she sing?!
Inch: ... but..
Aunt: Aiyah, you won't understand.
Inch: Maybe i don't. But if you're telling me to believe that its impossible for a deaf girl to sing, i won't believe you.
Aunt: Don't be naive!
well, what's wrong with being naive sometimes. there's nothing a little faith and courage to dream won't solve. as much i respect her "realistic" mentality; i'll stick to mine.
