A few days ago I saw a movie titled downsizing, it had lots of good actors and all. While watching it I thought to myself wow! What a great concept, I mean look at all the benefits that comes with just simply reducing in size. Well for those that have not seen the movie, it’s about the human race being on the brink of extinction and a few scientists putting their heads together to profer a way out, to preserve life and the earth in general since we’ve made a mess of it.
It touches on the issue of over population as one of the ways the human race is gonna go into extinction. I mean think about it, you reproduce to keep on living and now you’re being told that oh look you know that’s gonna be the end of us all; because well, you can’t possibly go about telling everyone to stop having children or dictate who should have children and who shouldn’t. That’s not the point I’m trying to raise, it’s just something that caught my attention.
You know what they say about humility? You work hard enough to be extraordinary, and eventually you start to do extraordinary things whilst making the person next to you feel like he/she is extraordinary as well. When you do that two things tend to happen; firstly if you succeed in making and extraordinary person out of that ordinary person next to you by just simply being an inspiration and making them understand that if you can do it, they can do it as well, you succeed in reproducing yourself in that person. And secondly if you work hard enough to be more than what you are, you’re going to be told somewhere along the line that you’re to big for that position you want, you’re too big for that job you applied for. I mean imagine going to school and earning a master’s degree or even a phd and then going on to apply for the position of a picker packer just because you find yourself in urgent need of cash and that’s the only position available, chances are you’ll get there and straight to your face you’ll be told that you’re over qualified for the said position. In order to get that position you need to shrink yourself, become small, downsize, throw all your degrees and certificate in the thrash just so you can get it.
The thing about shrinking yourself, downsizing, making yourself small is that you get things that are small. When all you do is set yourself on a path to achieve small goals, you downsize yourself. If you think small, you’ll become small, if you only set low goals for yourself, you’ll never know how high you can go. Your potentials are limitless and you’ll only be limited when you see limits instead of possibilities. When I go on and think up a superb design, someone comes over for a tutorial, the first thing they ask is ‘how possible is it?’. Is it possible? Yes it is. Can you do it? Yes you can. Don’t limit yourself, don’t downsize, don’t make yourself smaller, there’s so much more you can do and there’s so much more you should be doing.
