It is possible to become your Dream. This
essay demonstrates, through examples of the
lives of others, that it can be done if
you develop the Vision and
cultivate the Passion to become
your Dream.
The great Vincent Van Gogh said “I
dream my painting and then I paint my dream” This
is the power of conceptualizing and visioning
at work. You, too, can become your dream if
you follow his example
You already have all you need to
Succeed
One characteristic of winners is their ability
to imagine themselves at the place where they
want to be in life. First they imagine it.
Then they pursue it. And all they started out
with is their imagination. This essay demonstrates
that Imagination is the key to all achievements
and that, since everyone was born with it in
roughly equal proportions, you too, (in or
out of an organization) have roughly the same
potential to become the Originator of your
next Success Cycle.
If you believe it, you can do it.
Imagining your own success is one thing.
Believing that what you have imagined will
happen is another. The achievers cited in this
essay demonstrate that belief in oneself, or
in a concept, a product or a service, is one
of, if not the greatest catalyst, in
transforming ideas and visions into reality.
There is no substitute for money
but, empowering ideas are the new currency
of wealth in the Digital Economy.
"The republic is a dream. Nothing happens
unless first a dream." – (Carl
Sandburg, great American poet) This
essay speaks to the fact that every political,
social, product, service or technological revolution
(or successful company) started as an idea
in somebody’s mind and that those we
call Heroes and Innovators are those who were
brave enough to have the courage of their idea. You
can become tomorrow’s Hero/Innovator
by having the courage of your ideas too.
The best way to predict your future
is to design it yourself
The best way to
predict the future is to invent it for
youreslf. Computer technologist Alan
Kay said this many years ago. There
is no divine selection of who succeeds verses
who does not. Rather, it’s a question
of the choices you make that will determine
whether you succeed, or not succeed, in life. George
Eliot , English novelist probably said
it best "The strongest principle of
growth lies in human choice." Some people
take the road less chosen. You can too.
I want to see more Millionaires in
our communities Part 1
In some more developed communities there
are many millionaires ‘next door’ even
if nobody knows that they are. You, too, could
be a millionaire next door if you set this
as a personal goal. This means seeing life
as a “do-it-yourself-project” This
essay looks at some strategies for doing this.

"How
wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single
moment before starting to improve
the world." - Anne
Frank 1929-45, diarist, 15 year old WW2 causality
We don’t need just to
be the implementers of other people’s world-sweeping movements.
We, too, can start our own
movements for the world in the same way that we have given
it a Religion (Rastafarianism)
and a music (reggae).
