What Makes Go World Round

Most of us seem to be ordinary people with an ordinary life and ordinary successes. But I do believe that in most of us there is this Wizard of our own OZ, this incredible magician, who is able to move the mountains and turn the world around.

You are probably thinking: what happened to her? Why all these slogans? And I will tell you..I met an amazing young man, who re-ignited my belief in people, but also helped me re-ignite my own hopes and dreams to come back to me! You see, when you are getting older it becomes easier to come to assumptions too easily, and too fast. What assumptions? I.e. that the young generations’ only goal is to make the most money and social status. But then you meet young people (who I am lucky enough to meet almost everywhere I go, some more incredible then others), who are unimaginable individuals with an incredible spirit, who make changes in their life for others without even knowing it, since it is simply their nature.

This young man is about to begin a new job. He is great at what he does and that’s why the new company wants him on the board. I have seen excitement in his eyes and expectations of the best. I wondered, though, if he still remembers that what he used to love was photography. His photographs were outstanding, unfortunately a lot of peoples’ reaction to his path was “he will not make a living out of it, and he wont be able to provide for his family from taking beautiful pictures”. So he started getting discouraged, and began to go in a different direction, thankfully he is great in it. Since I believe he will be great in everything he does, due to his love for fellow humans.

Yesterday, when I said “good by”to him, it was his last day at is current office. I brought a quote with me by Mark Twain, who I love. By the way, this quotes is an opening statement to my current newsletter. Let me bring it here as well, since it may remind you who you wanted to be when you were younger, bolder, braver, when you did not have limits or understanding of limitations. Mark Twain said:

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

I just asked him to never forget and let go of what his dreams were, since whatever he will do in his life, every step he takes will bring him closer to the realization of his dreams, if he will not loose them…

He inspired me. I hope that Mark Twain will inspire you - again and again…
