Success stories using the R=VD formula

This is about Kim Bo-ram, a student who passed the foreign service exam.

As a child, she gained confidence by pushing her limits in running competitions with her parents’
support. During a language program in New Zealand, she realized her English skills needed
improvement and started studying hard. Inspired by her studies during the Japanese occupation, she
dreamed of becoming a diplomat. After entering Ewha Womans University to study political science,
she focused on preparing for the tough foreign service exam. Even after failing the first test, she
worked harder and kept trying.

Kim Bo-ram learned about the VD technique from the book The Dreaming Attic. She used this
technique to help her pass the exam. She created fake newspaper articles about her success and
put them around her house. She wrote diary entries imagining her dreams had come true every
day. She even set up a fake text message about passing the exam that she received every
morning on her phone. She combined her face with a photo of Condoleezza Rice to picture
herself at a UN meeting. After making a vision board with pictures of Ban Ki-moon, the UN
headquarters, and airplanes, she finally passed the foreign service exam and achieved her
dream.

Without passion and effort for your dreams, deciding if they will come true isn’t
respectful to the dream and shows a lack of true desire.
