"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
Oscar Wilde
As an Entrepreneur you are not an ordinary human, your thinking capacity is beyond boundaries, depending on the field and niche you occupy. You are one in a million of the Greats minds that will ever exist, either as a Tech-geek, Writer, Artist, Scientists, Innovator, Fashion Designer, Photographer, Doctor.
Well, you may be the awkward guy in the room, the guy with the most deviant opinion, the guy that thinks beyond boundaries, the guy with the comprehensible talks, the guy that Strongly sees impossibilities as possibilities, the mad or crazy guy; Man you are not alone, because without your crazy brains the world will not be a beautiful place, Ultimately saying, you are the Genius type.
It is sure that with your awkwardness, you will have difficulties being accepted by most people based on your level of interaction and communication, because relatively few people can understand you.
As an Entrepreneur one of most crucial elements of Survival is that you must not feel apologetic for your awkwardness and rational way of thinking or doing things, because the Survival of humanity lies on our hands.
Here is a typical scenario that happened to me; I got to school on a Friday morning, fully aware that I have no classes on that day. I met with my friends and friends of friends chatting together about entrepreneurship and that the current Nigeria economy as not being a favorable and encouraging at all. I was full with enthusiasm to join the conversation, everybody was contributing their Ideas from different perspectives and was acknowledge as a brilliant contribution.
Getting to my turn, I was all ready full of the vibes to contribute, I started talking and talking; In few seconds all could get as a response was "Guy you no they ever make sense for your Life", I tried to elaborate more on point of view, but my contribution was not acknowledge, I felt Diminished and grounded.
Hopeful, the story has changed since I stopped caring about my awkwardness because as an Entrepreneur believing and seeing the good in yourself can keep us going and make us achieve Impossibilities. I have choose to become the "Leonardo Da Vince" of my Time.
That's why I said in my first post that it's neither gonna be Easy nor is it gonna be Tough, but It worth more than the pain.
Bye for now, I need to continue sailing, all through dusk and dawn; the Sea is not yet a fare place.
