Dream way!

Unquestionably everyone of us had some occasional wildest foolhardy dreams while we were young as kids.Some of those dreams evolved into our dearest.Those dreams grew with us.We rejoiced fantasizing those dreams.We built castles in those dreams.Just a flash of those dreams swept smiles on our face.But,did you stargaze those dreams considering all the prospects and back-up you possessed at that instant?Did you ever throw-in a thought to the practicabilty of that might-be-mission-impossible dream?

From the history of great Human race,let me introduce you three gentlemen who outlied the conventional way of life.They were neither supernatural nor celestial.They weren't gifted or granted.They were just like any one of us.They just took their strange dream,a little seriously!

Let them be A,B,C.

#'A' was born in a small town to the first businessman in a family of priests.Married while he was in college and joined his father's firm at the age of 19.He dreamt something really BIG!
His dream was:setting up an iron and steel company, a world-class learning institution, a one-of-a-kind hotel and a hydro-electric plant.

# 'B' was born to an unmarried couple, given up for adoption,being a college drop-out,with his friend's cooperartion he built a computer in his garage when he was 19.His dream was to make the world immeasureably better and simpler place to live.He always used to say 'make it great'.

#'C' was born to a low wage worker in a family of 2 daughters and 3 sons.His fathers deteriorating health forced the matriculation passed son to work.As a petrol pump attendant his dream was to build a refinery of his own.

These three gentlemen with their off-base dreams proved to the world that dreams can no longer be just dreams.Taking the dream seriously might be often considered a risk but then again how can you live all your life with something while your heart craves for something else?

Out of a survey I conducted myself among my mates, I found that age matters a lot while people think of taking risks.Coz the older they grow the higher the responsibilty of family,relations and above all financial independence.Surprizingly 50% of the people who chose to take risk at teenage sided up with taking a safer just-for-paying-bills jobs at middle age.

The idea here is so simple: Fail young, so you never fail again!

"Fail young" implies to start cooking for your dream at an early age so eventhough you end up in dust you've got long way to rise up and start back.Moreover lessons of fall at that age can have heroic results, results which results in revolution.Inspite of the lessons if you fall again, this time failure is no alien thing.you've got the knack!

Guessed the A,B,C??

'A' is "father of Indian industry",founder of largest conglomerate company,TATA Group of companies-Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata.

'B' is Steve Jobs:co-founder of Apple Inc.,a company that only he could have built.Co-founder of PIXAR and founder of NeXT Inc.

'C' is Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani or so-called Dhirubhai Ambani,the rags-to-riches business tycoon who founded Reliance Industries.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain.

  1. I believe that life always gives back what we ask from it. IF we never let our dreams get diminished and if we do not ever compromise with them, we will always achieve what we set out for in the first place.
