Wisdom for Millionaires

Take the dreamers out of the world and there would be no reason to study and stand in awe of our great American history. It is us, and people like us, the dreamers, who were the advancing guards of humanity.

If you removed us, who many have called "quacks" and pipe dreamers, we would also have to remove all of the refining machines and inventions that emancipated this world and turned drudgery into ease.

Thomas Edison was a dreamer, just as you are, and he saw decades into the future and as such, invented machines which compared with many of todays discoveries, seem small.

Over one hundred and fifty years ago, it was the persistence of dreamers who argued in Congress to allow for railroads, at a time when postal mail was being created. Many said that to build carrier railrods was insane.

Some in Congress called such a dream "impossible", ridiculous and a waste of money! Many thought it would be much more prudent to actually import and use camels to deliver the mail. As history reminds us, the dreamers won.

All great people are both practical and logical. They are usually considered odd ducks and dreamers at first. But it was the "dreamer" who was ahead of his contemporaries, by a quarter century, and who "saw" the hand-press whereby journalism was born. Then you had the dreamer who played with kites and attached a key to it and connected electricity to it.

"Can't be done" cries the man without imagination and those with an even lower caliber of intuition and dream, mutter under their breath, "He will fail." Yet time has proven, over and over again, that it is the dreamer who can see a civilization, yet to be, that the common man can not even begin to believe in.

You have a dream. This is why you are in this industry. You can see an elevated position in life for yourself. Know this....your dream does not mock you It's simply evidence that a "knowing" within you, of more life, is welled within you just as fire is nestled within every flint. You have within you a divine assignment. A birth right. A discovery to unleash. Just as Galileo did.

How else can you justify being here, right now?
