Dare to dream !

Last night, I watched the F1 qualifying round held in Singapore. I must say that it is the best looking circuit ever. Sepang? Forget it. Montreal? Forget it.

And to think that they actually did not spend that much to organize such an event….it really made me respect them more. They (the Singapore organizers) are willing to take the chance and be something different. If you’re talking about street circuit, there’s already one in Montreal. But that’s during daytime. This is at night time…with the wonderful night scenery surrounding the circuit. It’s beautiful.

I’m not sure how much they’ve spent but it should be significantly lower, considering the fact that it’s a street circuit and they’re reusing what they already have………….rather than building a brand new circuit located far far away with some isolated part of the world (hint).

The thing we all can learn here is that, sometimes it does pay off to be different. You don’t need to follow the main trend of the world. If people are making mobile phones, then be different and make a mobile phone which is the thinnest in the world and yet it contains the most functionalities (IPhone). Or if people are downloading MP3 illegally, then create something which will encourage them not to download (rather than going to the court)…something cheap…something which enables users to search for 1 song and buy just that 1 song (ITune).

Most of us do not like changes….but without changes, there’s no way we can be different. And in times like this, being different might be the only way for you to be successful. Or should I say, be different and remarkable?

So, what are you waiting for? Open up your creative mind. Be different in your business or in your life.

Now, let’s just hope you don’t go out wearing nothing in shopping complexes……and accuse me of polluting your innocent mind.
