Dreams

"Every man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds... Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
I saw this quote this morning in another source and it really sparked my mind to thinking. No matter where you are in life you probably ask yourself, "What if I did this or that when I had that chance." Often the difference between the successful and the unsuccessful is the motivation to follow a dream to achievement. Let's face it a lot of companies fail or suffer when their leader has no vision. Just operating under a survive day to day mentality or just trying to hold will lock your company in a steady decline until the owners decide a change is in order. Hopefully before its too late. If you have one of those jettison them quick because they aren't changing anytime soon.
In every market it is always the visionaries that take their companies to the next level because they see three steps ahead and have thought through the possible outcomes. They know where they are steering the ship. When the staff sees that confidence and direction of their leader they begin to believe as well.It is no longer a job or career it becomes a mission.
If you're in publishing today we all know it wasn't because you wanted to get rich.It was because of your love for the written,audio or electronic word. My hats off to you as I know the times are getting harder. You will see though among you the visionaries, the wacky dreamers that will make their way through it and even excel because of their vision. They are the ones looking for the opportunities even today.
My point in all this is simple, no matter where you are in the workforce believe in yourself and find what it takes to achieve your dreams and goals. To the leaders of the publishing industry who are seem to not be able to steer through the storm, there is an old saying, lead, follow or get out of the way.
