ADVERTISEMENTS
Everyone knows Walter Disney or Walt Disney. Ask any kid and you will be told that Uncle Walt was the creator of the Mickey Mouse. Actually, add the very start, it was Walt who gave his voice to Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney is the best known film producer and philanthropist we have been fortunate to see in the modern times. He co founded the Walt Disney production with his brother Roy and became one of the most famous if not the most famous motion picture producers at all time. His company is now known as the Walt Disney Company and has a turnover of more than USD 35 billion annually.
Walt Disney has won 26 Academy Awards and 59 nominations which mean he has more awards and nominations than any other human being!! He has also won 7 Emmy Awards. So obviously we have so much to learn from him.
1. Correct Perspective
A man should never neglect his family for his job or business.
Your family has only you to look after them. After all it is your family! Your family should always be part of the dream you are trying to achieve. For whom are you going to achieve this dream? For them of course! So is only logical that they should be part of the process of achieving it.
2. Competition
Competition is what keeps you on your toes and ensure your products and services are better than that of theirs! They are like quality controllers. Automatically we try to make our product better than that of our competition. Walt Disney said “without competition I don’t know how to get along.” Competition makes you stronger and your products and services better. Don’t run away or curse competition. They provide you the engine to pull your business through by making you the best in the business. Like the street urchins who are immune to most disease by experiencing them first hand, competition will ensure you are immunized when you overcome them.
3. Choose to do what you love to do.
Walt Disney didn’t make Disneyland with the idea of making money. But money flows in!!! If you do something just for the money it will last only until fervor is over. If you love what you do, want to accomplish it passionately, than you will have the strength to achieve your goal long after your competition has given up. Money alone will not give you that kind of strength; only passion can!
Walt Disney said, “Disneyland was work a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money”
4. Do the impossible
Why not?! “If you can dream, you can do it”. Wise words indeed. Pursue the impossible, what they say cannot be done or what has never been done before. Pursue your dream until it becomes reality. Believe in your dream, implicitly and all the way and make it come true!
5. Act now!
If you can appreciate the difference between well done and well said, you know that I mean. In Walter Disney’s book, the way to get started was to quit talking and to begin doing!! Planning is good and a good plan is very good but don’t spend your whole life planning. Do a bit of doing too. Because without action no amount of planning will do any good!
6 Your brethren
The saying goes “without vision people will perish but what will happen to the vision without the people! Never forget you need people and never forget to serve. When you serve others, you serve yourself!”
7. Improve Daily
If you can decide to try to be a little better that what you were the day before…..
If you become better 1% everyday you’ll be a new person every hundreds days! Just think about it, but don’t stop there! To be kinder, wider, more helpful; in a word to be better! As the paddy plant becomes mature with ripening of the paddy, it pays homage to the field that supported its growth. That’s how we should be. Getting better and better every day!
