Do you know Pygmalion??

Pygmalion was a very talented sculptor in ancient Greece. He saw so much to blame in women that he came at last to abhor the sex, and resolved to live unmarried. He was a sculptor, and had made with wonderful skill a statue of ivory, so beautiful that no living woman came anywhere near it. It was indeed the perfect semblance of a maiden that seemed to be alive, and only prevented from moving by modesty. His art was so perfect that it concealed itself and its product looked like the workmanship of nature. Pygmalion admired his own work, and at last fell in love with the counterfeit creation.

he clothed the figure, gave it jewels, and named it Galatea, means Sleeping Love. Pygmalion went to the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty to pray for a wife just like the statue in his home.
Aphrodite was curious so she visited the studio of the sculptor while he was away and was charmed by his creation. Galatea was the image of herself. Being flattered, Aphrodite brought the statue to life. When returned Pygmalion to his home, he found Galatea alive, and humbled himself at her feet. Pygmalion and Galatea were getting married, and Pygmalion never forgot to thank Aphrodite for the gift she had given him. He and Galatea brought gifts to her temple throughout their life and Aphrodite blessed them with happiness and love in return.

…I believe, we can be another Pygmalion, also. We just really need to believe our dream and somehow, they could be a reality. I know since, in a good reason, they just did well on me for many times...
