Today, i’m gonna see a « friend » to tell him about my 2 new projects.
This « friend » is someone that I bearly know, I met him a few years ago while traveling, and we went on the same trip where we had a lot of fun. We exchanged our phone numbers and send each other the regular NYE messages… Not more. I don’t know much about him, I just know he is a successful businessman leading multiple projects in IT, real estate, crypto and stuff like that…
It happened that we are back in the same place, years after. He seems to be even more successful than before, and I feel a bit ashamed to tell him about my projects. Comparing to what he’s doing and the money generated, my 2 ideas are ridiculously small and insignificant.
But I remember reading an interview with a famous scientist who struggled financially all her life, and whose life was full of tragedies and drama. Despite her success and the recognition of her peers, she always faced hardships. When asked if this had ever been a problem for her, she replied that she never even thought about it. Her goal was to make scientific discoveries—she was driven by that, and that alone. She had no idea she would have an extraordinary destiny; she simply moved forward, asking herself one question at a time, always with the aim of pursuing her discoveries. Without necessarily thinking about success, fame, or money…
So I try to draw inspiration from her, daring to speak about my ideas, whether they seem ridiculous or fantastic. They have the merit of existing, and because of that, I must see them through.
So, I’m going to talk about my ideas. Let them grow and see where they lead. Without expectations—just let them be.
