Have you ever watched Disney films? I mean films like Aladdin, Cinderella and Pinocchio? What is the common thread with these films? These films are all about dreams. Aladdin was a street rat but dreamt of being with Princess Jasmine. Cinderella was a maltreated stepchild but dreamt of being with Prince Charming. Pinocchio was a wooden puppet who dreamt of being a real boy.
Why such a common thread? Well aside from Disneyland being where dreams come true, Disneyland was Walt Disney's dream. Today Disney Studios is a billion dollar company with a global presence. However, one may not know whole story. Walt Disney was at one point on the brink of bankruptcy when Laugh-O' Gram studios failed. This did not stop Disney. He borrowed money and founded Disney studios.
The difference between Disney and most people? Disney never ever gave up on his dreams and up to now his dream gives joy and inspiration to millions beyond Disney's own lifetime. Most people would have given up on the first sign of failure. The lesson here is to never give up on your dreams and to dream big and dream bold dreams. There is no limit to what you could dream.
