Start It Now – A Course in Bangkok
Did you know that recently, a short course called “Start It Now” was held in Bangkok? Nineteen intelligent and inquisitive students participated, and the person who led the course was Mr. Starter, a businessman or, as you might think, a business expert. His abilities are also prominent in changing the minds of people in business.
Other experts in the course emphasized the importance of practicality and personal development.
A Surprising Question
However, on the second day of the course, the Host asked a surprising and disturbing question as soon as the session began.
“Which is the most expensive place in the world?”
All the participants answered it. Someone named Tokyo, someone named one of the most beautiful places in Paris, someone named Oxford Street in London, and many people called the Clock Tower in Mecca.
The Most Expensive Place
But the host smiled, declared all these answers wrong, and gave a surprising answer, which surprised you: the most expensive place in the world is the graveyard or cemetery.
The Hosts replied that the graveyard is a place where countless great ideas, dreams, inventions, and possibilities are buried forever because their creators hesitated to act on them or wasted time.
Many intelligent people do not transform their abilities into reality because they do not believe in themselves. They keep waiting for the right time as if they are not here today, they will see it in some free time, and in doing so, they miss the opportunity.
The Key to Success
The key to success is only and only immediate action. The host emphasized that the most significant difference between success and failure is only one thing – making a decision and the courage to start working.
“If you sit on a great idea, it will remain just an idea, but if you act on it immediately, the world can change.”
A Personal Reflection
These words were engraved in my heart and mind. Whenever a new and practical idea comes to mind, I start working on it immediately. Mr. Starter’s method has proven to be a fundamental pillar in my work.
Final Advice
I advise others to not just think of ideas but to turn them into reality. So, take action now.
If such an idea has come to your mind, you are also waiting for the perfect opportunity. Remember, the time never comes for action. You have to perfect it yourself.
If you want real change in your life, start working on it today because, remember, your talents, your dreams, and your creations, if not used, become useless, and that is the real loss.
