The achievers have always said ‘Dare to Dream’. I do believe in that and follow that too. Not alone I, every one of us do that. Then why can’t all of us be the biggest achievers of our time. There’s always a ‘secret key’ to success, which no winner has explicitly mentioned in their quotes and advices. They did not hide it but just that they forgot to complete what they had to say. ‘Dare to dream & Dare to do what you dreamt’. Everything that you do to realize your dream, counts. You just dreamt that you’re going to have a good day ahead, you put the right things in the right place, do it at the right time and be around with the right people, your day gets good – you realized your dream. You made it come true coz achievement really isn’t quantifiable.
There was a person, who had a nice settled life in the place where he was born and brought up. Stepping out of the comfort zone, he decided to fly high like the eagle, the next stop was Sydney. The Kangaroo land did not have its wide arms spread to invite him with a warm hug. Nevertheless his more than sibling buddies were eagerly awaiting him. Entirely new life, totally new place, astonishingly diverse people, tremendously fast life, consciously eerie surroundings, precisely the kind of place he never visualized in his dreams. Rejecting the job offers, Ignoring the interview calls, Demanding a door knocking offer, Expecting a folds pay hike – a tight slap by his conscious when he thinks about all these pasts when he is actually applying for every kind of job with a pure expectation of the amount of money that will earn his next day’s bread. Good with computers, better with writing, best with his feet to dance, knocked every door, pleaded every boss, persuaded every interviewer, begged every caller – Tears rolling on his cheeks – A slap again by his conscious – coz it’s not the time to cry and crib – it’s time to try and fight.
He put in his resumes, showed them his videos, provided his photos, talked about his talent – doors hut – as tight as possible such that his voice goes mute to the ears of the employers (the proud dance school owners). Not a warrior who is born to fight – Just another ordinary human who has just got his fate to fight. Though he could not earn bucks for his performances, he always gained appreciations which he treasured more than the currencies. The day came when he realized that it’s not enough if one just keeps dreaming coz he had dreamt for a decade but nothing much happened about it. He had all the potential and skills to realize his dream but even then it did not happen. He slipped into the shoes of an achiever by doing nothing other than keeping his foot forward and firm, standing against the odds and establishing himself.
Without a penny in his pocket, without an inch of a place to start an office, without a single employee in the company, without the smallest awareness around that something exists, this ordinary man started his first ever venture partnering with one more aspiring individual. The dance company that he started won several attentions online – he knew which the right spot was – he had gotten the keys for the locks out there – from then on there’s no looking back. He has not done something what Mr. Gates or Mr. Zuckerberg did, but he did the same what they did to realize their dream. As I always believe – achievement is scaled by the level of satisfaction that the aspirer gets. Today he receives calls – emails – online ads – requests and enquiries on the web – now a TIGHT SLAP on each of his cheeks by his conscious – you still are no more a candidate knocking doors – people are knocking yours – go and open it now. Every night now when he goes to sleep – he thanks all his hardships in his life who all have given him nightmares and dreams together that urged him to learn from the nightmares and realize the dreams.
DARE TO DREAM – DARE TO REALISE THE DREAM TOO
