Saying from Walt Disney
1. Even brilliant and optimistic people can reach a point of
giving up. Everyone needs encouragement and recognition.
2. Doing something in a different way ALWAYS
brings resistance. Every successful innovation will prove popular opinion
wrong. You've got to be willing to go against the crowd.
3. Past failures are often the foundation for
future success so don't concede your ideas too quickly. Have the courage
and the patience to allow failure to be an acceptable and expected part of the
process so that success can be built from the lessons learned.
4. Talent can be easily overlooked when it
looks different from the norm. The Hollywood establishment didn't
understand Disney or his vision. For many years they missed his
brilliance. How many talented and gifted people have been overlooked and
written off by managers and companies because they didn't fit the mold?
And, just like Disney, how many of those employees have gone on to great
success somewhere else?
Walt Disney died 49 years ago, but his dreams and
vision live on. He dared to dream. He dared to share. How
much better we'd all be if we did the same. You have ideas that are
unique to you. Express them, pursue them. Don't settle for a bit
part in someone else's story. Bring your own ideas to life. Who
knows, maybe 60 years from now the world will be celebrating your dreams.:
