The Top Young Internet Billionaires

Mel @ Lucidry — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 09:32:38 +0000

The internet has managed to produce some of the richest young billionaires ever, in a remarkably short period of time. Time and time again, the internet proves with the right idea, it is possible to accomplish what it has taken many decades of business to accomplish. Inspiration as ever!

The BBC compiled a list of the top young billionaires who made their fortune on the internet:

The richest are Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the pair who set up Google in the late 1990s. They went from PhD students to (paper) billionaires in about five years. The youngest is 25-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, founder of social networking site Facebook, who has returned to the billionaire list in 2010 after dropping out in 2009 amid the economic downturn.

How Poor We Are – Different Perspectives

Mel @ Lucidry — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 11:02:27 +0000

A short motivational story examing the perspective of poverty and how things are always different from another person’s point of view. Take favour in what you have and do no long for what others have; note your achievements but still strive for further goals. Stay inspired!

One day a father, of a very wealthy family, took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from the trip, the father asked his son,”How was the trip?”

“It was great Dad!”

“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the son.

“So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered,

” I saw we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

With this the boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added,

“Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

(Stanford Universtity: 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.)

It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life will hit you in the head with a brick – don’t loose faith. I am convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. you have got to find what you love, that is as true for your work as it is your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work, is to love what you do.Steve Jobs

An Entrepreneur is a Visionary

Mel @ Lucidry — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:31:58 +0000

Most businesses often start as an idea and most ideas often come from a vision.

What is your vision of your business? In one, two, five, ten years, where do you see yourself being? Your business being? What is the next step in achieving this vision?

Visions and dreams are the thought you need to hold onto when you strategically plan and take steps to making them a reality. If, when you sht your eyes and dream, you see yourself as a CEO of your own international conglomerate and you truly commit yourself to that vision: things will change. I by no means am saying it will happen in the snap of an eye – but you will begin to take steps in life and business to facilitate this vision becoming a reality.

Most people aim at nothing and hit it with incredible accuracyAuthor Unknown

Conversely, if you shut your eyes and you see yourself doing exactly the same thing as you are doing now – well, I can gurantee – in 10 years you will be doing exactly what your doing now.

That is why as somebody with a vision you must set goals! Goal-setting is a process that is a necessity – it focuses and it motivates.To fail to set yourself goals, is to fail to achieve anything. It is only when you have a vision in mind that you can use your current position as a starting point, an anchor to look at it the future and say – ‘look at how far I have come’ – ‘look at how much I have achieved’.

As an entrepreneur, you sleep and should see your vision everyday. Your life is a direct result of your drive to achieve your visions about yourself, your business ventures and the world. The key to happiness is often knowing that you are making steps and achieving the intermediary goals along the way to achieving whatever your vision is.
