What do you do when you need someone so badly to support that
idea you’ve been cooking up and you think it’s really going to succeed
and you don’t find that someone. You may feel down-casted, pained and
perhaps doubt if you really are in the world for good. These situations
are part of our everyday existence and a fact we often have to face
whether we like it not. However successful a man may be, he still has
such issues to face.
A sales manager at a top commercial bank had
this to face trying to defend his well thought through sales strategy.
He had acquired all the advice from top sales analysts around his
professional industry and had deep assurance that all the advice were
worth it. But he had to face the top directors and managers at his
office over defending the possibility of his sales proposals working.
From one idea to another, his ideas got bashed and washed as each
manager took turns to rubbish his work. This manager was dazed that his
best work was being given a zero. He returned home feeling depressed and
in need of just that one top manager that will stand and see from his
stand point.
Whether you are down the ladder or up there at the
prime, there is still that fear of being alone with your big set of
ideas. Depression may steal in and you increasingly find yourself
plunging downward away from your expected endpoint. The question at the
beginning of this writ becomes necessary when we consider that many
ideas are finding their way into dustbins because the inventors of those
ideas could not find that person who they expect to believe in them.
Your
idea is scarce and nobody will offer it the way you do even if those
you believe to accept it don’t. They only do not accept it because, they
aren’t in your shoe picturing from the same direction as you are. Yes,
you need somebody, but not having that body to support your idea
doesn’t mean it’s finished for you. You can afford to look up to
“Someone.”
Every
idea developed from its inventor or initiator takes a “long walk to
freedom.” That freedom arrives only after some bashing and whitewashing
by everyone. Everyone often does not see great ideas because they are
easily deceived by the normal life they are used to.
Everyone
loves the sky remaining blue; they can’t picture a green or yellow sky.
Everyone sees only everyday possibilities, they can’t see beyond today.
You can understand with such persons how short sighted they are.
In
the face of a crowded disbelief system, is that someone who manages to
call you aside and ask for a one to one discuss on the possibilities of
your idea making grand entry into realism. That someone is ready to help
you iron out those issues that seems to limit your idea and then help
you make it a reality. That someone is always around watching out for
you.
We are often plunged into depression by the uncelebrated acts
of everyone who might have pushed at their thought of how irrelevant
our special idea may be. We often are the ones who allow them this
opportunity to demean our so much work often because we think we have
them as our celebrators. They necessarily will not celebrate your work
until you have gotten your way up. The crowd won’t support you up.
What the crowd does is boo your desire to climb and cheer only after you have strived your way up.
Finding
that someone to give your idea a lift may not be as easy at the first
trial. However your resoluteness at pushing your idea through however
the encumbrances will attract that someone you will need. People are the
hand tools of God for the manifestation of ideas and visions. Somehow
someone will have to believe your idea makes sense once you can get
going pushing behind you the fact that what you are offering hasn’t
gotten the cheering as you had thought.
Coca-Cola won’t be
Coca-Cola today if the man who had developed its recipe had quietly
thrown it away after everyone he had tried to sell it to had disdained
it as useless. Today, it is a brand name because the developer found
that one person who bought into it against the crowd who had opposed its
market value.
You might not find everybody walking in your
direction because you may not be worth looking at now. Well, that’s for
now. Just wait at that idea; someone will come knocking very soon.
