Let me share you my wish. My wish is to finish my studies and get a stable future for me. What do I do to make this wish come true? Apart from the hope that the stars will do its work, I am also working hard to save money to pay the remaining balance I have at school. I agree with you, one wish is equivalent to hardwork and perseverance. Indeed, a wish is not there so we can get the things we want instantly - it is invented to give us hope that we may get what we desire. Keep on wishing.
