In 2004, when the Co-Founders of Facebook were building the first version of that platform…
…a simple website with basic features, they had no idea the kind of powerful force it could evolve into.
A simple website built with open source PHP/MySQL went on to beat them all and reign supreme.
Aliko Dangote started small, trading and trading…
…then one day, he got this idea that Africa should build a future of self-sufficiency.
Like play, like joke….
Dangote group has done $18 billion of business in the span of about four years, which is almost unheard of in Africa.
Nothing is impossible.
This morning, I stumbled upon the pictures I had of the grand Eko Atlantic City project…. my mind was blown.
One wise man once said that “buy land, they aren’t making more of those!”
He definitely didn’t know things like the Eko Atlantic City project would ever exist.
My point?
We need to dream big and take corresponding bold steps.
Dreaming big doesn’t mean we cannot start small.
To be bold and ready to take risks is much better than being a genius!
It is way better to apologise than ask for permission…. (but never never repeat this one publicly, ok?)
Nothing is impossible.
There is no change we cannot effect.
Now that you know, what will you do about it?
P.S.
