Remember when we were a kid when we like to day dream that someday we will become a doctor, a president, a teacher?
Do you remember yours?
I remember mine, a Technologist.
As of this second I’m still living this dream that someday I will have major contribution in making human's lives to be better thru technology.
Not until last year that I started to chase my dream. Before making my own IT Company (GATS Consulting), I was working in a Marketing company as a salesman. I was doing excellent in my career and got promoted after only 4 months to oversee the whole data management for that company. Everything was great; only one thing was missing....
I’m living someone else’s dream, not mine.
I believe that every people in this world are given the opportunity to pursue whatever they want that will make their life happier. The problem is, some people are too afraid to take the big leap.
The passage below can be found on the US’ Declaration of Independence
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”
If you watch the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” played by Will Smith, there is one scene that also triggered me to decide to make my own company, the basketball court scene. Here is what Chris Garner (Will Smith) said:
“Don’t ever let somebody tell you, you can’t do something. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can’t do it. You want something, go get it..Period!” Here is the Link to the scene
I’m living my dream now and this is my pursuit of happiness!
What about you?
