Why doesn't everyone dream big?

My experience has been that far too many of us dream big, but do nothing about it.

Don’t get me wrong: Dreaming big is important. It really is. But it is also easy. What does it take after all?

What matters is what you are willing to give up for your dreams. Are we willing to toil for months and years, through disappointments, failures, and rejections? And do that even when the ‘feel good’ of the dream is long gone?

That is where we often fall short, not in dreaming big.


Yes sir.. ccontinue efforts may lead to a success

Not everyonee can have delayed gratification! Instant high and 'where do I get my next meal from ' for many might be a couple of reasons. Lack of family and/or social support coould be others. In any case, if everyone dreams big failure rates would be higher and there would be no contented 'slaves'! ?
