What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

When thinking about this, I also think about what I would do if money was no object? For me this quote and way of thinking has helped me challenge myself more than I would have without reading it. I often find that you want to be cautious and hold back from doing something risky. When I find myself holding back, I think back to this quote determine if it is something that I should really take the risk. Many times I find that I end up doing something I never thought that I would be doing.

The reason I’m posting about it is because I enjoy hearing people discuss the thought of breaking away from what is safe and commonplace. The world is powered by boring people and changed and pushed forward by people that think differently. These people are not afraid to be remarkable or break the status quo . My goal is continue to drive in a different direction (not literally) and create change in the business world. Through my college career I have found that most teachers are boring and afraid of change. College seems to be more about learning how to do things the safe way so you can get a job with a boring Fortune 500 company. That isn’t what life should be about, I should be learning how to make a difference and how to share my ideas with fellow businesspeople. I’m sure you have read this before but here it is anyway: If you quit your job today and could follow your dream, where would it take you and what work would you do? Leave me a comment about it, I’m excited to see your thoughts.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
-Steve Jobs
