Are you a realist or an idealist??

Realism VS Idealism – In regard to philosophy, it’s an age old conflict – a constant struggle for balance between the imaginative child (idealist) and the pragmatic adult (realist) but the matter is much more than just being practical or impractical. Being an idealist is considered to be a foolery, it is said that one should be practical & should be realist but the question is how can we achieve something which we had never dreamed of ??  and by being a realist one can hardly dream of anything because being pragmatic actually leads you nowhere, If you stop taking risks you stop getting knowledge about the world.
 There are pros and cons to being an idealist, and being a realist. As an idealist, you can let your imagination and romantic dreams of grandeur soar without limits, unbound. But that child-like sense of wonder can sometimes result in all fluff, and no real action.  You aim high, sometimes so high, that you don’t attain anything, and you crash and burn. The realist is practical, accepts the reality of limits, and works within them. But the realist may run the risk of, not running any risks. And without taking risks, boundaries remain unbroken. You may be able to grasp what you’re reaching for, but it’s only at an average height, and your accomplishments may be lukewarm at best.
being an idealist is not wrong at all until what you are dreaming of, is positive and you can work hard towards it to attain it.
