It is said that ‘there is always a beginning.’ The initial steps of a toddler depict the beginning of life. Watching this wonderful moment teaches us a lot. The toddler is first helped by the people around that make the walking simpler. Then comes a moment when the toddler has to start walking on its own. Here begins a long journey. The toddler starts with tiny steps, falls down, and gets up again with enthusiasm. No toddler knows that one has to be disappointed after failing. Instead, it only knows trying every time with great joy. Society teaches us to lose confidence after failing.
Considering this, we have to learn that huge objectives cannot be achieved in a single day. This single day can however introduce the first step towards achievement. While working in many fields, it is always recommended to commence with a single step and then grow further. The revolutionaries in many fields had a first step someday which was later followed by failures, criticisms, disappointments, trials and errors, and much more. Some factors that keep people away from taking the first step include the fear of failure, monetary loss, criticism, doubts, lack of interest, and influence by others. These should be certainly overcome to move ahead.
Inspirations:
1. Amazon: Its journey started in July 1994 from a garage and is now ruling in the markets all over the world. Jeff Bezos used to sell books at the beginning proceeded by selling CDs, videos, computer hardware, and software. Amazon Prime was born in 2005 and Kindle became the major product of Amazon in 2007. Currently, the range of products sold on Amazon is too wide.
2. Microsoft: Bill gates dropped out from Harvard University and with his childhood friend Paul Allen, found Microsoft in 1975. Allen suggested the name ‘Microsoft’ that is a combination of ‘Microcomputer’ and ‘Software.’ Their very first product was the basic programming code interpreter made by considering the Altair 8800 microcomputer. Windows 1.0 arrived in 1985 after two years of development. This company has a list of flops that include ‘Windows Vista,’ ‘Microsoft Phone,’ ‘Zune,’ ‘Surface RT,’ and ‘aQuantive.’
3. Apple: On 1 April 1976, Apple Inc. was found by Steve Jobs, a dropout from Reed College from Portland, Steve Wozniak, a dropout from the University of California from Berkeley, and Ronald Wayne. However, Ronald Wayne sold 10% shares of this company to the other two owners after 12 days. ‘Apple I’ is the first product of the company developed by totally Wayne himself. Other products include the Macintosh, the iMac G3, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad.
Limitations:
The destination should be worth to be
walked for. The first step towards negativity leads to harmful effects. It is
recommended to ensure that the objective is beneficiary and must result into
either no or least harm.
One must not go off track while taking
the further steps.
People have to accept the struggles
associated with the commencement of certain journeys and must be ready
accordingly. Opening an umbrella doesn’t stop the rain but provides confidence
to walk in the rain without getting wet.
