LIFE'S LESSONS
All big things begin with a small wish

When we are young, we have dreams and expectations. We imagine things, we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what we will become.

We grow up, and things seemed like having their own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions.

Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualise our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

Cornel Sanders started his business when he was 60, and started the whole successful KFC business. The main thing is not the age—whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the courage to realise it.

Vivid visualisation, taking it to sleep, thinking constantly about it, talking about it, planning it, adding all the spices to our dreams will make us a bit closer to the realisation of our dreams.

Entrepreneurship starts with a dream, a simple wish of a tiny restaurant, or a huge business of real-estate development, or a modest training centre for English education, or just any other self-employment money-earning venture.

The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of the human race that other species do not possess. So dream on, and put a deadline: make it a giant dream, a tiny one, an old everlasting one, a newfound one, a hobby related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, a stroke-of-genius one, or just whatever... just continue to dream... Then, just go and do it.
