Power Of Dream

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.
- Wilma Rudolph
From the smallest atoms and molecules invisible to the human eye, to the bricks and cement that construct our buildings.

From the tiniest structure of our neocortex, to the many inventions that we have brought to life.

We live in a world surrounded by man-made creations, so what makes us think that we are not capable of building a future that we want?

We live in a world of possibilities. Take a second to think about it. The world that we live in are filled with inventions that were once thought to be impossible: 3D printing a house, visiting Louvre Museum from home via a virtual tour, sharing your idea with the potential to reach tens and thousands of others within seconds, having your personal digital assistant to keep you on schedule, building websites and apps by writing codes — which of these are not once a concept or idea that reside in the brain of some amazingly talented being?

We experienced exponential change with the introduction of the Internet. We are entering a time of unprecedented change in technology and the way we live and work. For the first time in the recent history, people and I mean people at the bottom of the hierarchy — the mass, are more empowered than ever.

Thanks to the internet, an underdog will have a greater chance to flip his or her life for the better. There are now tons of platforms that will help a talented being to be discovered: from the early days of Blogger, YouTube and Twitter, to Instagram, Kickstarter and Medium. We have come to a time where, if we have the skills (and the will to succeed) there is a platform that is readily available for us to showcase our capabilities. Similarly, if we are highly motivated and have the will to succeed, there are a number of options that enable us to enhance and acquire new skills.

I believe that the few who have succeeded, are the ones who gave themselves a chance by taking an additional step forward when most people won’t. They are the ones who go to places where most people won’t. More importantly, while they are at it, they give it their best shot.

When we march into uncharted territories (environment and experiences that are new to us), even if we failed, it is still an accomplishment in itself for we challenged ourselves to step away from comfort zones. We are opening up doors to new possibilities when we make a conscious choice to challenge ourselves.

Everything in our lives are made of building blocks.
