The Profitability of Dreams

They say that to dream is the privilege of the young.

I think this is a beautiful saying, but it could not be more wrong.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with having dreams when you are young, within this expression is the unmistakable suggestion that once you get out into the “real” world you no longer have license to dream.

I would argue, by contrast, the dreams are a key factor in business success.

Have dreams – and then reshape them into well-defined goals. Think about what to do to achieve those goals, and then based on what you come up with, achieve each one little by little. And you must put your all into this – all of your abilities, your strength, your endurance – you must be fully dedicated to achieving your goals.

Regardless of how long it takes, if you approach your dreams this way, there is nothing you cannot achieve. And in this process, I believe you will discover the true meaning of having dreams.

Do not be dissuaded by the cynics who say that dreams and reality are different. This is nothing more than a bitter excuse made by those lacking the drive needed to transform their dreams into reality. Dreams and reality are different. It is a dream than can take you out of an ordinary trajectory, and into something extraordinary in nature.
