Stand for your Dream, no matter what!

I got this from a friend, and thought it may inspire you as as well.



Do People Laugh at Your Dreams????


My favorite quote by one of my gurus, Robin Sharma:

“If people are not laughing at your dreams at least once a week, you are aiming too low!”
Another one of my heroes, Henry Ford said:

“If I’d have asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook because he knew it would work. In his mind.

Or did Sergey Brin and Larry Page (Google founders) ran from pillar to post to see if their idea of ‘downloading the internet on their computer’ is ‘really workable’? No, they just went ahead and created it.

Wright Brothers knew they would create a machine that would make them fly…And they did it! In spite of people calling them names…

When Sony launched its Walkman – which is to date the highest selling consumer electronics product in history (iPod has yet to catch up!) – there was hardly any market research when it was created. It was something that one of the founders of Sony, Masaru Ibuka, created for himself first because he wanted to listen to symphonies on long-haul flights. And rest, as we all know, is history.

I could go on and on with more examples, but now, let’s talk about you and me.
Our problem is, even if we have a brilliant idea/thought/plan, we don’t follow through.

First we ask people who are closer to us to ‘have their opinion’ because they are OLDER, RICHER, SMARTER, WISER, EXPERIENCED etc (all in our minds, though!). And what do they tell us, in all their ******* wisdom?

‘No way!’
‘It will never work!’
‘You must be out of your ******** mind!’
‘Remember that guy? He tried it and failed. So it’s better you don’t try it. Learn from his experience!’
‘You have a cushy job, why would you want leave and do this crazy thing?’
‘We are in recession’
‘This is Africa, it won’t work here!’
‘How could anyone in our family do THAT!’
Et al.

Wow, what wise opinions…Not a single person thinks that we could be right!

And we believe them!

And we start thinking since everyone is saying it won’t work, then IT WONT WORK!

And we leave the idea/project/business/product etc and go back to our favorite place:

The STATUS QUO!

You would be delighted to know that even the most intelligent and so-called ‘wise men’ of their fields have been proven wrong at times. And we take someone’s opinion seriously who doesn’t even KNOW what we are talking about….

Guess who said this in 1983:

“The Internet? We are not interested in it!”
You won’t believe it, but, it was……..Bill Gates!

Hope you will take your dreams and ideas seriously, even if people laugh at them or YOU.
In fact, you should ENSURE that people laugh at your dreams…

Never forget that it’s YOUR LIFE that we are talking about, not someone else’s and …You only live once!

Steve Jobs couldn’t have said it better than this:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.”

Dare to dream.

Have a remarkable weekend.

It is true, ila katika Dunia ya Leo tunakosa kitu kimoja muhimu sana ambacho hao jamaa walikuwa nacho ambacho ni Uvumilivuia , SONY firs walianza kwa Idea ya Rice cooker Idea ambayo haikufanya kazi kabisa, na iliwatia hasara ila mwishoni ndo akaja na Idea nyingine,

Most of great entreprenurs of all time hawaluzania kama wangefika hapo walipo leoo hii na wengi wao ukijaribu kufuatilia mahojiaona ambayo walisha wahi kufanyiwa ni kwamba wakati wanaanza safari zao hawakategemea kama leo hii wangekuja kufika hapo walipo,

Wengi wao hawakuanza uvumbuzi ili watajirike, na hawakuwa na mawazo ya Kutajirika, Ila utajiri ulikuja kuwa matokeo ya kazi yao kukubalika na jamii, wao walijikita kutafuta ufumbuzi wa Matatizo yaliyo kuwa yanaikumba jamaa wakati huo, Mfano mzurI ni Thomosa Edson,

Leo hii sisi kila mtu anaingia kwenye busineaa kwa lengo la Kutajirika tu na si kingine chochote, Uamini hakuna tena kwa sababu tu watu wanatafuta pesa, na matokeo yake ndo kama hayo kushindwa mapema

SO KITU PEKEE AMBACHO KILIWAFIKISHA WAKINA HENRY FORD HAPO WALIPO NI UVUMILIVU WA KUTO KATA TAMAA KAMWE, walichekwa sana, na Thomas Edsoni aliambiwa na mwalimu wake kwamba katika maisha yake asingeweza fanya chochote kile cha maana,

Tumezungukwa na Jamii ya wakatisha Tamaa, kuanzia Ndugu, Jamaa na Marafiki ni kukatishana tamaa kwenda mbele, so some time unahitaji kuvaa miwani ya Mbao na kuziba kabisa masikio ili uweze kusonga mbele na safari yako

 

[lucky sabasaba]

'Tumezungukwa na jamii ya wakatisha tamaa'...hiyo ni kweli kabisa

Mi like this na2mia mobile device so siwezi gonga like
Lakini you made ma day you gadamn people.. Woooow!
#that's spirit!!!.

 

[Raia Fulani]

pamoja na ukweli huo, ukweli unabaki kuwa sio wote wataweza kutimiza ndoto zao. Hivyo wakiambiwa haiwezekani wasiwe wabishi

 

[Niwemugizi]

asante mwaya

 

[CHASHA FARMING]

pamoja na ukweli huo, ukweli unabaki kuwa sio wote wataweza kutimiza ndoto zao. Hivyo wakiambiwa haiwezekani wasiwe wabishi

Niambie ni Sababu zipi zinafanya isiwezekane? Na kitu gani kinafanya wasiweze kutimiza Ndoto zao? a wanao timiza ndoto zao wao wakoje?

Most of gret Entrepreners walimbia hivyo hivyo kwamba hawawezi ila ndo wakaja kuweza, HONDA alifukuzwa kwenye Kiwanda Cha Toyota kwa sababu tu alikiuwa hawezi fanya chochote ila alikuja kuibukashujaa

So hakuna tu anaye weza kuzuia ndoto za Mtu mwingine, Ni mungu tu anaye weza kuzima juhudi ila si binadamu,

Na s elimu wala pesa ambayo inaweza kumuhakikishia mtu maanikio ya Kijasiamali, Bali kinacho takiwa ni Juhudi binafisi ambazo hazipatikani popote pale
