The Price To Pay For Success

Growing up as a little child, one experiences a lot from older ones and get to have a lot of dreams and aspirations. Imaginary castles are built, children play with toys and tend to even create theirs out of curiosity of what they see in the media, and even amongst themselves, their cognitive senses run wild and this helps in making them great innovators when approached because they want to grasp every knowledge to implement their purpose.

As time passes, I’ve come to realise the various aspects of what they tend to become in the future. Certain habits during their formative years tend to drop and they think differently about approaching duties and responsibilities which sometimes help build them and make them active. With the recent coming of the new age of Internet, children have access to view the world around them and come to appreciate what other children in different parts of the world are doing and this propels them to achieve more based on the limiting factor of the resources they have at hand may be due to environment, social factors and indeed the development of the schools they attend to help them express themselves in the best possible way.

Success is not a day job but rather has to do with persistence, dedication and working smart with the right minds and people. Without that, it becomes a burden to break even when we have the best ideas to bring it to fruition. I believe so much in collaborative effort when setting up for business to achieve that lifelong learning and practise you have had in making the dream come true. But one step might be missing, that’s the price of being restless in your struggle to make the dream work because looking at success stories of the great businesses in the world today like the Apple, Microsoft, Google etc. were built based on getting the better and most intelligent person to be on the team according to late Steve Jobs.
