Stop Dreaming And Just Go For It

“Passion is more important than brains or talent. I have seen some really talented, brainy people fail because lack of passion. They are what I call “idea people.” You have probably seen them, too. They always seem to have a great new ideas they are thinking about doing someday-but they never do anything about them.” (pg.46)

In this quote taken from the book ‘Think Big & Kick Ass’, written by Donald Trump he is suggesting to the readers how you should follow your dreams by taking action and not just thinking or dreaming about stuff that you hope to accomplish in the future. In this book there are many advises that Donald Trump shares with us and all of them start with passion as it is passion that will take you to the next step and without passion you will not love what you do and if you don’t love what you do then you will not do as much or as a good. Another advice that is given by Donald is that you have to act and not follow. What this means is although everyone in the world doesn’t want to do something, because it is too risky you have to do what you think is right and not just follow everyone else. He says this because Donald believes that the doors that are open for you today they might not be open tomorrow. The example Donald gave us was when he had bought a office tower on Wall St. for one million dollars which was a lot back then, and he bought this during very bad economic times and all the businesses were going bankrupt Donald saw a good opportunity which was not going to be open for ever. Donald had bought this building while everybody called him crazy for doing it and today it is worth over $530 million. This is a great example of taking advantages of good opportunities when you see them and not listening to others. Donald also mentions that if you think that your dreams can’t come true or you doubt your ability to do something you will fail and never succeed. He believes if you are dreaming then dream big, because there are no limits of what can be accomplished in life.
