In an internal corporate gathering in 2009, an ambitious young man who had already scaled the ladder half way up, expressed aloud a hypothetical question, 'How do I become the section manager?'.
There was a hushed gasp among the audience. It was as if he had committed blasphemy. One of his peers who recovered from the shock wave quicker than the others gave a generic rebuttal which kind of hinted that ambitions have to be realistic.
Now I don't know how serious the man was when he put up that question, but maybe he transformed it into a goal from that moment on, if not earlier.
Seven years later, he did take over the coveted role of section manager! The hypothesis became a self fulfilling prophecy! The dream came true!
Have a goal. Walk seriously towards it. You'll find a path. The amorphous gradually becomes crystalline. Dreams gradually do become a reality.
