One time, I heard something that really got me thinking. What I heard was: “the wealthiest place in this world is the cemetery”. Curios, right? This person said that the most depressing and solitary place, the one where we all end up when we die; that was the wealthiest place. 


But it made sense when he completed his phrase: “there is where unaccomplished dreams last”. And I said to myself, “that’s true”. If you go to the cemetery, you will find anything but lost dreams. Books never written, songs never sung, inventions never invented, businesses never directed. That’s what this man said. Do you know what else he said? That all these dreams weren’t accomplish for one, simple and common reason, people were afraid. Afraid of taking risks, of making new. But most of all, I think they were afraid of been different; been what everybody else told them not to be. 


Don’t let yourself die in that way. Don’t be afraid of being who you really are, because, after all, “those who are ‘different’ are the ones who end up making real changes in the world”.  Stand up, find your dream and fight for it: make it true. And if someone ever tells you to be realistic, that your dream is too big; then you know you are going in the right way. 


One day, you won’t be in this world anymore, and someone will stand above you, in the cemetery. What do you want them to say? That this is just another fail dream that didn’t come true? Or that this one was the one who made the difference?

The Wealthiest Place
