It Pays To Have a Dream!
The story of the Wright Brothers is one I relish so much. One day, Orville and Wilbur thought of making an “Iron” fly! This has never happened before, but they believe it can happen. They were subjected to ridicule by the levelers of their time, but they never gave up. On December 17th, 1903, history was made and the “Kitty Hawk” flew. That started a revolution in the transportation industry and the name of the Wright brothers, will NEVER be forgotten when mention is made of the aircraft industry.
Ray Charles story is another phenomenal one. Who could ever imagine a blind man going ahead to conquer the World of music? Though Ray lost his sight at an early age, he never lost his dreams, his inner vision. So many people told Ray to stop wasting his time and instead should start weaving cane. These levelers couldn’t see what Ray was seeing but trust Ray, he trudged on and today, he has won many Grammys, wined and dined with the powers that be and he has even traveled more than some people with normal eye sight.
The story of Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller are just similar to that of Ray Charles. These are people who have gone ahead to conquer the world despite their disability. There are so many stories like the aforementioned and I could have gone on and on reeling out such stories. Even if this book is all about dreams, I won’t have any problem filling all the pages with stories of these heroes of our time and time past.
There is nothing that I will say of people like Walt Disney, a poor boy who started with nothing but a dream and gave us a dreamland, Disneyland, Henry Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Bill Gates, Steve Job, and Revd. Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Oriental James (O. J.) Simpson and several others that has not been said elsewhere or you have not heard about.
These people at a point in their lives have a dream, declared it to the world pursued it vigorously and later achieved it. They believed so much in their dreams to the extent that nothing else matters but the dream.
The truth you should always hold dear to your heart is that if other people’s dreams could come true, nothing stops yours from becoming a reality. Dreams only come true if only we have the courage to believe in it and hold on no matter what. The secret to living a fulfilled life is to live it with a dream.
This is to your success as you become a creative dreamer.
