Simon Squibb has asked thousands of strangers a single question: "What's your dream?" The responses he receives are rarely quick. People pause. They look away. They laugh nervously. And then, more often than not, something remarkable happens. Their posture changes. Their eyes light up. They begin describing a future they have never spoken aloud to anyone, sometimes not even to themselves.
**Author:** Simon Squibb
**Estimated Reading Time:** 45 minutes
