Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

There's a bunch of reasons that i can think of right now.

Hope this helps clear it up a bit. Is my personal experience, it doesn't have to be this.

:not enough support

Can I bring a tub of whey protein to the airport?

I was born with plenty of..talent. I loved singing, and dreamed about being a singer, but i was told that I wasn't pretty enough, and did i have a voice! I loved drawing but my mom kept on telling me how useless that is and that artists die in hunger. I loved justice, and wanted to become a judge, but my parents kept on telling me that i am not smart enough. So.. I gave up on doing things i loved and dreamed about. Now, I started dreaming again, now, when there is no influence arround me anymore to suppress who i am, but following my dream now comes at a cost; a cost i can not afford. I didn't give up on this one yet but seems financially impossible.

:friends/family influence

:financial struggles

How did a computer scientist such as Geoffrey Hinton manage to win a Nobel Prize in physics when computer science already has its own Nobel Prize equivalent in the Turing Awards?

Telling others about your dreams. They can then ridiculize you. And you can begin to kind of..back off.
