Thought starter!
No idea is small

Believe

If you believe in your idea and believe that you can
make it big, then you will be successful even from the
tiniest of ideas.
Never give in to what others have to say. Keep the
faith alive.
Be persistent

Be persistent
Small ideas never give you results immediately. You
need to be patient.
The trick to getting big results from small ideas is
sticking with your idea when you don’t get the big
result right away. Stick with it and continue to follow
through on your idea day in and day out. Eventually,
the right people will find you and your idea will grow
into something remarkable. Just have a little patience.
Leverage each opportunity

Leverage each opportunity
It is good to be an opportunist. You need to know what
is happening around you and make use of all the
opportunities that come your way.
Realise your goals and find out what will work for
your idea. Draw a roadmap and follow it to the tee.
Get creative
Image courtesy: funny-quotes.picphotos.net
Be creative
It is very important to try new things, experiment a lot
when starting new. Don’t be afraid of failures. You will
only get better with each experiment.
Think out of the box. Be curious and experiment!
Stop worrying
Image courtesy: melissajoykong.tumblr.com
Stop worrying
You need to stay calm all the time. Worry is just one
alphabet away from ‘sorry’. Just go by your instincts.
Failures and remarks from people should not trouble
you.
Make sure you do not regret the chances you didn’t
take. Go ahead and explore!
