U S MOINUDDIN: THINK BIG FOR BIGGER RESULTS
We often come across people who have reached pinnacles of success in their chosen field of interest. They are loved, adored and also envied by onlookers. Most of us would love to be in the shoes of these magnificent mortals. But successful people know that their journey to the top had not been easy. They know that success is achieved by identifying our goals, passion, organized hard work and above all our ability to dream big and follow our dreams irrespective of the deterrents that crop up during the journey.
The tragedy with many people is that they think only a few can become successful. They limit themselves with their mediocre thoughts and accordingly they generate mediocre results. Remember, the Universe is abundant. There is enough money, enough success and enough of everything for the entire human race. The Universe never runs short of giving, provided you are willing to demand more from your life.
Dream big, have bigger goals; nobody became great having minuscule goals. Your thoughts are your most loyal slaves, they can take you to a life of good health, happiness and success or let you rot in poverty, ill health and regrets. There is no law in this world that restricts you from dreaming big. A true example of success, belief and enduring courage is Oprah Winfrey. She experienced an abusive and poverty stricken upbringing and eventually became one of America’s most wealthy and successful women. Son of a little educated boat owner in Rameshwaram, APJ Abdul Kalam had big dreams. He became the Missile Man of India, and then the President of the second most populated country in the world. What about Colonel Sanders, the old man in a white suit? He was completely broke at the age of 65 and went on to establish KFC, which is now a global giant. Companies like GE, Sony and Microsoft are committed towards excellence and they have changed the way we hear, see and use things. Pepsi and Coke didn’t limit themselves to their countries of origin. You can go to the remotest village in India and ask for a Coke or Pepsi, you are sure to get it. The success of such organizations or individuals is the result of their ability to connect with people, to think big and expand their horizons.
Everybody dreams of the best things that life has to offer. But, they fail to think big and follow their dreams. After frustrating months or years they lament, “I wish I had taken action.” The good news is that you can always restart or start in case you have never started. You are much bigger than what you think you are. You are here with a cause to make your life and the lives of others better. By thinking big you make dreams possible. The biggest empires created by man, the greatest voyages in unknown seas to discover unknown lands, the biggest man-made marvels, world records shattered by athletes, were the results of enduring passion, courage, belief and their ability to think big and being unwilling to settle for anything less.
Remember, “If you are successful the world may not care, if you are unsuccessful the world may not care, but if you want to be remembered you need to be successful.”
