Are your childhood dreams dead?
You need this in 2025
What’s the one commonality between Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Albert Einstein?
In the current world, your journey is significantly different than your parents’ years ago.
Think of how you go about your life.
Information is available to you at the tap of a finger.
Whenever you want to talk to that one cousin abroad, they’re just a video call away.
But most importantly, if you are passionate about something, you can make it a viable career option.
So, why do you restrict yourself to the same career options that were booming 30 years ago?
Albert Einstein came up with his theories of relativity because of a curiosity to answer questions.
Elon Musk revolutionized tech because of his curiosity for evolution.
Sam Altman seems to be on the verge of changing the world forever because of his curiosity about AI’s power.
What’s the word I used in common? - Curiosity!
Think of a child playing on a beach.
There’s a ball, a shovel, a bucket and any other toy at the child’s disposal.
What do you think the child will do?
You’d think that the child will play with the ball or make a sandcastle.
What if I tell you that the child is making up a story about how the sea, the sand and the sun are playing with the ball, the shovel and the bucket?
Did you expect that?
Curiosity leads to innovation.
And innovation is impossible without imagination.
Curiosity and imagination create the wondrous world of research.
The same world that Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Albert Einstein reside in.
The same world that they thrive in.
They are proof that anyone can do research.
They are proof that anyone can make their dreams come true.
Now, my question to you is simple.
What’s stopping you from making your dreams come true?
What’s stopping you from creating your dream gadget?
What’s stopping you from achieving your lifelong dream of curing cancer?
Absolutely nothing!
With the right guidance, you are ready to step into the world of research.
