"Follow your dreams" is the stupidest advice ever.

There's nothing wrong in following your dreams.
Will that apply to every single person? Most likely no. Still, there's no harm in encouraging people because, well, that's what people already do without those catch frases, anyway.

It's those who follow their dreams that must be aware of their own limitations.

Actually the idea that everyone is special and should thrive to his dream and exceeding is doing a lot of harm because people put a lot of expectations over themselves.

It's true that some people fantasize about their future, but those are also responsible for that.
Too much ambition is a thing.

Personally, i'm more against the idea of "you can achieve everything".

The idea of (simply) following your dreams isn't bad. The problem is when people exaggerate.
