I listened to a coca cola radio advert with @zlatan_ibile and I was inspired deeply on my inside.
...
Let me explain, Coca cola is a 127 years old company with 82 billion dollars in assets with a yearly turn over of 32 billion dollars. Coca cola is one of the realest definitions of a multi national.
...
On the flip side, Zlatan Ibile came from what we would call "the streets" by implication, he was born poor, with very little opportunities and not much to look up to, in his words in one of his songs, he referred to his former self as omo gota (a child from the gutter) just to further explain his background in comparison to where he is now.
...
But fast forward from that past version of Zlatan to the 2019 version of him, he's being paid in millions to endorse multi nationals of the Coca cola magnitude. The only difference between Zlatan of today and unknown Zlatan of many years back is a talent he discovered, honed, chased after despite the many difficulties, made a skill out of, failed at it but kept at it and he his today, sort after all over the world living his biggest dreams. There are several examples from every industry of this type of testimony, a personality, brand or company that came from nothing but now has everything only for a value they learnt, mastered and now deliver.
...
And I realised that all you need to be a force in your generation is right inside of you, not without, not in a school, not in a country but right inside of you. Let it excite you and also bother you that everything you need to attain your biggest dreams lies right on your inside.
...
It is your duty to find it with your every day, hone it with your every try, master it, package it as a skill and exchange for more value.
...
This the realest truth ever if you ever hope to live your dreams
...
So get to work and keep at it.
