"Dare to Dream big dreams; only big dreams have the power to move
men’s souls." -Marcus Aurelius
One of the secrets
of successful people is this; they Dream Big Dreams!
Allow yourself to
dream. Allow yourself to imagine and fantasize about all your life and desires
and the kind of life you would like to live. Think about the number of people
you'd like to affect and have better lives because of you.
A Disney executive
charged with revitalizing the Disney stores turned to Steve Jobs - Disney’s
largest shareholder - for advice, to whom Jobs responded, “Dream bigger.” And,
the story is told of Bill Gates, while he was younger - as a kid - he had big
dreams to the point where he used to just shutdown from talking and go into
hiding; thinking about his dreams and how to fulfill it. One day while
preparing the meal, his mother needed him and called out to him severally, but
there was no response. So, she had to leave for a minute her cooking to go find
him. After some search she found him, stooping next to the dining table,
stunned she calls him again but still no response. She moved closer and called
out to him and in response he retorted, "Shut up mum, (I'm thinking) don't
you think?" Now, I'm not advocating being disrespectful to your parents or
elders, but that your dreams should be big enough to make you do unusual
things. Things not everyone will do.
