'My Business', I used to tell everyone. Whenever they asked me about my future my answer remained same all thses years. I have always dreamed about my own empire. Not only because it gives money but also more importantly it gives 'power'.
I know it is definitely a thing to laugh. A middle class boy, average in studies, not much backed with money but dream to be an entrepreneur.
People do laugh when they think you can't do things. And I have heard somewhere that,
"Things which people think you can't do are the things you must do"This damn sentence always inspire me and helps me to neglect those who laugh at my back. People themselves can't do some things and they declare those as impossible. They fail in perticular task and they wish that everyone should fail in it as they did. Those people are not necessarily your enemies, they can be your friends, your best friends! But now if you start thinking wrong about them then please hold yourself for a moment. Human nature is a very complicated thing. While they feel these things about you, in some or another manner you feel the same for them. People always love to listen to sad stories and crying voices. That is human behavior. Some people are just good at adding flavor to that behavior.
This dream of mine haunted me for all these years, but somehow less or more I always thought I am not capable of being that. I always thought that I am not able to handle all those decisions that a businessman has to deal with. So, I started to read books of famous authors of all time loke Dale Carnegie. But still I was lacking in something. I always discuss these things with one of my friend, he always supports my decision and he is also a believer that I can complete my dream one day.
It is one of those times when we both used to bunk the lectures a lot. We were sitting in a bench near library and he noticed that I am lost in my thoughts deeply so he pinched me and asked me what happened. I just shoot a glance at him and said, "Buddy, I don't know if I can make this true! It will be really hard for me". He got my thought correctly and by patting his hand on my shoulder he replied very calmly, "Have you ever tried it?", he continued, "No? Then how the hell you know you can't do it?"
Actually he was right, how can I decide that I can't do it. I have never done it and to make any conclusion I must first be at that position. His words always encourage me to proceed with my work.
You can dream for something, you can plan for that but to know you can actually do it or not? You need to start to do it first!May be, that's why they say it, "Start-up"
