It Starts By Working

It Starts By Working

We all dream.

I mean, we all dream big.

Money, fame, respect, notoriety. Everyone wants it all.

Maybe the key to it all is just to start.

You don’t start with wishes though. You don’t start with dreams.

You don’t start by complaining, or feeling disadvantaged.

Why?

Because a focus on these is not going to get you anywhere.

If you want to dream big, maybe it starts with working.

“Early work experiences not only provide the pride and self-confidence that comes from financial semi-independence but also teach youngsters attitudes and habits that will make them more valuable and successful workers in the future.”

–Walter E. Williams, Up From The Projects
