MESSAGE #886 DON’T LAUGH AT ME…

Some of the most successful people in history were laughed at.

People laughed at the Wright Brothers.

People laughed at Einstein.

People laughed at Columbus.

Turns out, they weren’t crazy. They were leaders.

Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx wrote a paper in college about starting an overnight delivery service.

He got a C on that paper.

His professor gave him a chance to re-write it. Smith handed in the same exact paper. The professor was confused.

Smith simply said, “You can keep the C, and I’ll keep my dream.”

So don’t worry if others think your idea or passion is something to laugh about. Love what you do and put in the work, then they won’t be laughing for long.

As for me, I plan on changing the world through sports, leaving a legacy…and getting on Oprah before she goes off the air.

What are you laughing at?
