Making Your First Million
Success and failure are like doing a maze puzzle. You don't snap the pencil each time you
come to a dead end and say: "I'll never do it. This is hopeless!" You take the positive
approach and say: "I've been down that path and it leads to a blind alley. That's good. I
know not to do that again." You get excited each time you eliminate a blind alley because
it means you're that much closer to your goal. As you keep eliminating all the blind alleys
you start to illuminate the path that's most likely to yield results or you start to get a feel
that this is an unproductive part of the maze and you start again from a more hopeful
entry point. The good player becomes intuitive about the game itself, using a positive
self-image to eliminate irrelevant distractions of personal adequacy to focus on the logic
and the flow of the game.
Try to converge deep and transient trends into something innovative and saleable. Look
for synergies everywhere. Examine the evolution of the car. This is not the doing of
engineers or number crunchers, though these people implemented the concepts. Look
closely and you will see constant, ongoing genius at work. Smaller, lighter, roomier,
more fuel-efficient, cheaper, safer. What an exciting time to be alive! At each point
someone has asked: "Why?" And the dull response is: "Because that's the way we've
always done it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But this will not satisfy the curiosity of
genius. Genius asks: "Why not?" Genius always wants to do more, to achieve more with
less, to create elegant, simple solutions to complex, dynamic problems.
Genius doesn't just happen. It's not a gift. It's something you create, awakening the
potential inside you, by deciding to do so and working on it. You don't believe me? It's
true. We all have insane genius buried inside us waiting to be nurtured. We use less than
10% of our brain. The rest is genius waiting to happen. Why is it we respond to music or
poetry? Why do our emotions jump to full alert when exposed to a film or book that
strikes just the right chord? We are born with resonance to genius and what resonates can
be turned to create its own song so it too can 'dance beneath the diamond sky with one
hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and
fate driven deep beneath the waves just to forget about today until tomorrow'. We all
have our song. We all have our dreaming. All things are possible. All things are
connected.
Nurture the crazy spark of genius while you're getting your worldly wisdom and you'll
achieve just the right balance of dour brilliance to walk and talk simultaneously. Move
over Yahoo Serious. Here comes a balanced man. You're going to need it because you're
going to need to hold apparent contradiction in your head and not panic. You're going to
have to leap into the unknown with nothing to back up your decision but gut instinct,
because at some time you will need to make a decision ready or not, happy or not. You
won't have the luxury of procrastination. The decision not to make a decision is a
decision in itself. You won't have the luxury of certainty. You won't have anything
provable or tangible to back you up. All you'll have is your intuition. You'll have to make
