Dreams are said to be imaginary events seen in the mind while sleeping,chasing dreams to a very rationale percentage of the world is sometimes unachievable,this article tends to examine the story of Thomas Tom Claney Jr,born in April 1947 in New York USA.He was the second of three children to Thomas Claney who worked in the postal service.
In 1965,Tom graduated from college with a degree in English and took a job with an insurance company after working for seven years, he began to have dreams of becoming a novelist.
In order to work towards the dream of writing he started making positive moves ahead of making his dream a reality.He started by writing in his spare time,then he started cutting his work hours and days so as to have more time to write but mostly find more quality time by weekends.
In 1984,After working for almost 20 years in this insurance industry Tom Claney finally published his first book "The Hunt for Red October". Eventually the write-up sold more than 2 million copies.Tom emerged one of the most successful authors of his generation focusing primarily on military story lines,he wrote over 17 novels that became the best rated in New York as at the period.
Isn't that amazing? points to note here
It's never too late to find out that hidden talent you have and Reinvent it.the most amazing point about Claney was the willingness to reinvent himself.we all have goals that could be of importance to the society but for most of us,the inertia of life holds us back,this happens especially when we are living a relatively comfortable life.Most people in Tom's situation would probably continue their insurance career rather than chase their dreams.
The essence of self reinvention is that you won't make a fool of yourself and due to the way things are in many countries economically, financially and the rise of unemployment, Reinvention can help you be a boss either by chasing your dream like Tom Claney or do anything legally worthwhile.
Self invention begins with a decision and willingness to make a positive change in doing so you must leave your comfort zone, don't let your background discourage you rather let it be a stepping stone.
These are the keywords to be considered in order to chase your dreams and reinventing your ideas-Be Yourself,this makes your hidden dreams metamorphose to reality.Secondly Acquire knowledge through motivational books, speaking to an expert, attending seminars and getting a mentor that could help you.
Finally I appeal to everyone in this fast growing and globalized world to assess themselves so as to discover that particular thing that will interest one and work towards making those dreams come real.
This is really good, you have made great points here.. thanks for this great pieces.
