Ambition
I am creating a platform, on which youngsters are able to develop ideas they are afraid to act upon. Here in the Eastern European countries, this is a major drawback us teenagers and young adults face. Parents do NOT want us to pursue our speculative and overly-ambitious ideas, as they would rather see us finish college and spend our life working 9-5 jobs. Now, it is to be expected, that some ideas truly are overly ambitious, but the grind is what is important. The chance of experiencing failure is of the outmost importance. Failure needs to be experienced, not learnt via books and/or podcasts. Imagine a world, where ambitious individuals are able to pursue their vision, with a guiding hand behind them, always pushing them forward. I am sure the world would be a truly amazing place, if just 5% of youngsters acted on their ambitions.
Question
Yes, I know what some of you may be thinking:
If you're so ambitious, why don't you just push through, show the naysayers the end product, and all will be well.
Problem
Thing is, most start-up ideas take more than 365 days to even resemble anything close to a working product. Parents may wait a couple of months, let you do your thing - but after half a year, they will start saying: "Peter, you can't continue throwing your time and energy away like this... You should go find a job, like your brother!". But that is to be expected of parents! After all, they just want the best for their kids, and that best is comfort. To that I say: "No!". If we want to bring change to us and the world, we need to act on our ideas. The real problem doesn't lie in the naysayers, but in our minds. The idea, that we aren't capable of pulling through with an ambitious idea is deeply ingrained within our culture.
Solution
Now, I understand some people are satisfied with the comfort a 9-5 job brings, but the few of us, who aspire to more, should have a guiding hand, a mentor, if you will. At first, it will be only us, the founding team. We will be sharing our ambitious projects with the world, as we develop them. By doing all this, we wish to build a community, a community that will bring change to the world. Our first project is a miner, that is simpler to use than even Nicehash.
About Yours Truly
I am one of those ambitious students you see in every Computer Science University. I have always loved writing journals and to-do lists, and just recently found out about Steemit. I have read several posts here in the past week, and fell in love with the community. I wish for you all to take part in my change. Thank you.
You're going to have tough moments when you want to give up. In those moments, remember there are many many people that want to see you succeed. If you are ambitious and well-intentioned, I sincerely wish you the best and want you to know I am one of the people hoping you succeed.
Thanks for the motivational words! We will give it our best - it is an ambitious undertaking!
Wish you all the best too! P.S. your dogs are very cute!
