No Dream Is Impossible, Says Author Melisa

By Siti Nur Athirah


Kuala Lumpur, Dec 17 - Anything you set out to accomplish, no matter how hopeless or hard it may seem, can be achieved if only you truly believe in yourself and persevere, according to Melisa Tan.

It's a topic she discussed in great detail in her first book, published last week: Let Your Dream Be Your Wings. "The pathway to success may be filled with numerous ups and downs, mountains and valleys and lessons," said Melisa. "It takes courage to embark upon the path unknown where negativity may often whisper into your ear, limiting your potential by fear of failure. 

The inspiration found in Melisa's book comes from personal experiences. Other than being a book writer, Melisa is a blogger and she have her own blog that has 60000 followers for 3 years. At first, she just expressed her thoughts in the blog but got recognized by many people. 

This would later serve as inspiration for her book, which Melisa describes as metaphor others may apply to their own lives. "The lessons I was able to learn on this literal journey on foot were all about preconceived limitations and boundaries through pushing my limit," said Melisa, who also works as a marketing manager. 

"Those concept can be applied to any dreams, goals and visions you may wish to pursue, whether it can be opening a small business, studying toward a career or simply pursuing a passion on a personal level," she added.

Melisa, who also loves to try new cooking recipes, already is 30,000 words into her next book. This one a fictional piece set for her loyal fans. But, for now, she believes anyone who reads Let Your Dream Be Your Wings, will find some way to relate. "They do not have to be a hikers, runners or anything, but just humans with dreams, goals and desires," she said.
