This morning as I was making my regular one-hour bus ride to UBC I was suddenly hit with the inspirational thought of following my biggest dreams and becoming an entrepreuner. There is no doubt in my mind that a very small percentage of people who attempt to create their own company succeed. Keeping this in mind however, there is still many people who actually achieve their biggest, most unthinkable dreams through hard work, creativity, and perseverence. In essence, us humans only have one life and no matter how cliche it sounds, we need to shape our lives in to what we truly want it to be. Sometimes it feels as though most of us are helpless participants in an endless rat-race. Translation: most people work extremely hard for others, and because of the innate tendancy of being risk aversive, they continue to do so for many years without stepping back and trying to achieve what they have always desired. I have found a huge source of inspiration in self made millionaires such as the founder of Robbie’s. Such people have discovered that they can meet the unfulilled needs and wants of certain segments in society and therefore have become incredibly successful. I believe that everyone has one-of-a-kind excellent ideas for success at certain times in their lives; those individuals who take advantage of these ideas and take risks to achieve are the ones who escape the rat-race.
