It’s easier to invent the future than to predict it
In 1994 Jeff Bezos set up his home business in a two bed room house in Seattle. Today we all know what Amazon is. But this post will be not about Amazon and not about Jeff Bezos. This post is more about opportunities we miss each and every day of our life.
How many times you said to yourself that it’s already too late, not enough time, too difficult, too much risk involved and similar things just as excuse to not start doing something? Napoleon Hill wrote: ‘One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man’s familiarity with the word ‘impossible. He knows all the rules which will not work. He knows all the things which cannot be done.’
The following ad reminded about this saying. Although I don’t have any degree in Computer Science, and if I had one, I think, I would not apply for this job. Why? For several reasons:
- extremely talented
- Able to do something in one-third the time that most competent people think possible
- Relocate to Seattle area
So these would be my words that describes ‘impossible’. If I were extremely talented and very quick at what I do, I would seek a job in big companies. Start-ups would look way too risky.
I wonder who was brave enough to apply for this job. And how his life changed when he realized that he’s a millionaire?
So coming back to opportunities. Sometimes we have to take a closer look to things that surrounds us. There are so many people full with ideas. Sometimes these ideas are just crazy, but sometimes that crazy idea might turn into the next Amazon.com.
Oh, by the way, Jeffrey Preston Bezos (born January 12, 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico) is the founder, president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Amazon.com. He is listed as one of the world’s wealthiest people: 2008 – $8.2 billion, no. 110
