Don't Expect Acceptance_LEADERSHIP ESSENCE 25/02/2020

The day the Wright Brothers launched their first airplane, only 5 people attended the ceremony because people neither share nor believe in their dream. Sara Blakely had so many rejections before Spanx could bring value to the female folks today.


if you have a great dream, you will experience resistance, you will encounter oppositions, you will suffer rejections and many people will tell you it cannot be done. These people are not wrong, they think it cannot be done because they cannot do or because the reality says such is impossible but you have to proof to them that, you can make it happen. Only crazy people think outside the box, break the norms and go against the law of nature no wonder, the eagle can only soar when it is moving against the storm, a jet can only thrust when it is racing against the wind and you can only disrupt the status quo when you think differently from the other folks in the society until people think you are crazy.


Your idea could be the next value adding product the world has been waiting for. Imagine the world without an airplane, there would not have been the word globalization today and the people that told the Wright Brothers nothing can ever fly were not wrong because of the law of gravity but the 2 brothers broke the rule so also you should break the natural, circumstantial and societal myopic laws and show them that limitations only exist in the mind but whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the man can achieve if appropriate action is exerted on it.
