"Life is hard at times. But when I overcome more challenges, I become much stronger then. So I’m going to embrace them.”
By Mauro Libi Crestani.
Life can be hard, sometimes real hard. Life being hard is not necessarily a bad thing. It actually may be a very good thing. Colin Powell said,A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
Why would we ever expect life to be easy? Blame it on Disney. Disney is a company that shows us a fantasy, it shows a life of perfection, where we will be in a fairy tale and every story has a happily ever after ending. Walt Disney created more than 81 feature films and hundreds of shorts. He earned more than 950 honors, including 48 Academy Awards. He founded the California Institute of the Arts. And he built Disneyland. Many of us have come to expect that life should be that care free, that with the slightest amount of failure or tragedy happening, we are ready to call it quits. Many of us feel like our lives are a failure, that things are not working out, that we wish we could be more successful.
But let’s remember, that the founder of Disney, Mr. Walt Disney did not have a fairy tale beginning to his career. Early in his working career Walt Disney got fired from a local newspaper for not being creative enough. His editor felt he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas." That wasn't the last of his failures. Disney then acquired Laugh-O-Gram, an animation studio he later drove into bankruptcy.
So if you have lost your job, have no money, been told by others that you have no talent. Sure getting kicked to the curb by your employer can certainly be demoralizing. You need to stay positive. What may initially feel like failure may just be the launching pad needed for success. For all the academy awards that Walt Disney won and all the money that he made, For all his success came from difficult challenges—even failures. And, yet, from hard times came important lessons and events, which would serve him later. Walt's life was filled with such events. Painful, difficult moments. But out of them he grew and in many ways succeeded.
Now, do not misunderstand…. A positive attitude is not everything…… if you are not the very best at what you do, chances are that you will fail. So get that training and education needed to be the very best. Legend has it that Walt Disney was such a perfectionist. Everything that he did had to be the very best. When Disney put on a display at the New York World’s fair in the 1960’s, he used robots. Nobody used robots back then. Everyone expected a mechanical man that did not do much, but Disney insisted that the robots have movable parts. This was something that no one thought was possible. That is an example of how he wanted to project an image of the very best.
So it is important to be the very best in your field and most important , it is to have a positive attitude. Remember, having a positive is not everything, but if you do not have a positive attitude, then you will be nothing. By Mauro Libi Crestani.
