Ideas beyond the horizon

“Daring ideas are like chessmen, they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game”

Have you ever thought of trying something new, something different? Did you ever watch something happen and think you could make it happen better? Has your mind stumbled upon something that was too good to let pass, without a second thought?

Ideas happen; they happen to all of us.

Some of us choose to act upon those ideas, some of us ponder, some of us let them go. In this interwoven chain, there’s reason enough for us to believe that ideas are the first step of enterprises.

The largest, most successful enterprises in the world are all built up on one premise - the effective incorporation of an idea.

I decided to write this post for all the budding entrepreneurs of our country. We as a nation are filled with hope, growth potential and an unwavering belief in our abilities.

What makes a man successful?

We’re not going to count sheer luck as one of the factors here.

More often than not, some of us see the same things everyone else does, but with it, we see something else, - we see an opportunity.

Right after my boards, I was offered a good, safe position at the Public Works Department, but I refused. I wasn’t hoping good luck would come my way but rather had a strong focus into what I wanted and an idea of what I ultimately wanted to end up doing.

The youngsters of today are a resilient race - they take risks, aspire for great things and are unafraid of failure.

If there ever was a time to make it big, there’s no time like now. There has never been such an outburst of startups (successful ones at that), so many people willing to invest in promising ideas and so much access to knowledge.

At a time like this, our vision is anything but limited, and aspirations are higher than ever and the possibilities are simply … endless

Here are some of my favorite quotes to get my ideas coming, I hope they help you all too:

1.     When you feel like quitting, remind yourself why you started.

2.     If your ideas don’t scare you, they’re not very good ideas at all

3.     Talk less about people and more about things and events. Avoid small talk unless while networking.

4.     Ideas come from anything, they can strike anywhere. Be prepared.

5.     You’ll never get rich with a fixed salary; dare to do something bigger, something better.

6.     If it was easy, everyone would do it.

7.     You miss a hundred per cent of the shots you don’t take

8.     Start each day afresh

And most importantly, never give up! Stay inspired and believe in your dreams.  Here’s to ideas beyond the horizon!
