Act fast on your dreams. Sometimes some people have dreams and because they think that God gave them dreams, they must be so special. They are the only ones he gave the dreams to.
No other person is dreaming, or no other person is thinking of a solution in that life. In fact, one of the very funny things is that when I listen to younger people or some of my contemporaries and they're talking about how that dream is unique and almost exclusive to them, I begin to laugh. And as I'm talking to you, I remember my experience with one young man who believed that he was the only one that has that kind of idea.
No other person has that idea. It's never been done before. And I was listening, as I was listening to him, there was nothing spectacular about what he was saying.
But because I didn't want to make him feel bad, I didn't say anything. The idea that you think is spectacular, someone else, I can guarantee you is also receiving the same idea right now. The idea that you thought you alone had with you, someone else has it somewhere.
The only difference and the only thing that will make you become the credited owner of that idea is if you act fast on your dream. Have you seen a situation where you were thinking about something? You didn't do anything. And moments later, it could be days, weeks, months, or even years later, you saw someone doing the same thing that you had thought about, that you thought, oh, nobody else has it.
Nobody else is thinking about it or somebody else brought that exact idea out. Yeah. That's to tell you someone else is also thinking in that direction.
You are not the only one thinking about it. I hope you know that before the airlines, before the planes were eventually invented, there were so many people who made attempts at inventing the plane, but someone eventually got it right. So, know or be reminded that you're not the only one thinking about that dream.
And because you're not the only one thinking about it, you've got to act fast on your dream. If you don't act fast on your dream, someone else will catch the idea. That's the first thing that can happen.
And they will execute it. Then you lose out completely on all the benefits of the idea. Even if you come in and still execute that idea, you become second place because they already know that somebody did it before you.
And they say, oh, you're copying this person. And it's possible that you were the first to get that idea. That's why people come up with an idea today and the rush to create a patent for that idea.
So, act fast on your idea. The second thing that you may lose out if you don't act fast on your idea, apart from somebody else beating you to it, is the fact that the ideas may become obsolete. If you don't act fast on an idea, you may be bringing out the idea when its season is already over.
You may be coming up with the idea when it's already too old. Imagine somebody inventing a BlackBerry today with all the design and aesthetics exactly as it had years ago when it first came out. Imagine somebody inventing all the old phones, all the phones that you dial, and you must dial a couple of times before you can call the person.
Imagine somebody inventing that today. It's no longer in its generation. It's no longer needed.
So, if you don't act fast on your idea, the idea may be coming too late. If you don't act fast on your idea, it may become an idea that is great to you, but it's no longer needed by the society. That's why you must act fast on your idea, but beyond the fact that someone else can beat you to it and the idea can be obsolete.
An idea is one of the ways for you to become a successful person. Working on an idea is one of the ways for you to build an organization. Working on an idea is also one of the ways that you empower other people, because in the way to execute that idea, you create jobs, you create opportunities for other people, and you solve problems for the society.
So that idea that you have that is a solution to the challenges in the society, someone is waiting for it. Someone needs that solution. If I let me put it this way, we need the solution that you are carrying in the form of an idea and because we need the solution you are carrying in front of an idea, we can't wait to see your idea.
We can't wait to see that product or that service. Don't deny us of that pleasure of getting your idea, your product and your service.
