HOW OUR DREAMS GROW 'BIG'

“When you're surrounded by people,
who share a passionate commitment
around a common purpose,
anything is possible.”


Big dreams are, seldom, dreamt by ‘big’ individuals... They are dreamt by small – very ordinary – individuals like you and me. It is when they surround themselves with people, and ignite in them the same passion - make them believe that the dream is their dream, too – and inspire them to go all the way out to realize it... Yes, it is then, that the dream and the dreamer, both, become ‘big’!

Take anything in the history of mankind...

Take how a nation is built, how a country is freed...

Take how a billion-dollar company is founded... how missions to Moon or Mars are accomplished...

Take how great movies are made, how mega rock shows, beauty pageants or award shows are staged...

Take how TV or radio progrmmes are put together, how news is brought out every hour, every day...

Take how newspapers and magazines are rolled out with such precision, how milk and bread reach our doorsteps each morning...

Take how churches, temples, mosques, gurudwaras and synagogues are run...

Take how crusades and coups are staged, how terrorists are prepared and how they are destroyed...

Take how Army, Navy, Air force and Police force are knit together...

Take how Gandhi became Gandhi and Hitler became Hitler and how they, both, built their own unique-armies...,

Take Jesus, Buddha, Mahavir, Guru Nanak and Sai Babas...

Take Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller or Baba Amte...

Take Varghese Kurien, Dhirubhai Ambani, JRD, Narayan Murthy...

Take how Microsoft, Apple, Google and Face book came to grow so big...


Yes, how ‘big’ were these individuals when they first dreamt their dreams?

Could they realize those dreams without arousing people around them - without making them believe that they all dreamt a common dream?

Every big dream is first dreamt by a very ordinary soul... someone like you and me. It is he who first goes to the mountain-top to see the ‘Promised Land’... It is he who first sees the ‘vision ‘and, then, goes about inspiring others around him to see the same vision, same dream – their ‘Promised Land’ – with all his conviction, passion, determination, focus, persistence and, above all, sincerity and integrity...

Dreams grow big only this way...

Yes, when many people burn together to achieve the same dream – their ‘Promised Land’.
