Be Humble aka Smart

Something I regularly have to remind myself, is something that is probably common sense to most people. You have to start small. I have big dreams and goals, but not the patience to match. When I want something, I usually know exactly what I want, down to every little detail. Sometimes the thought of starting small upsets me. That's not what I want at all. You have to work towards your dreams, and that's not always fun. Sometimes businesses try to be too big from get go and fail. They put so much into it without the resources to cover it. For example, an amusement park opened in a neighboring city this past year. It opened at full price, even though it wasn't complete. There wasn't a single roller coaster yet, only things you'd find at the fair. The roller coasters were coming, and the park promised to grow and have more, larger attractions. The price was the same, even though the best parts weren't there. The food and "extras" weren't thought out very well either. It caused a lot of head ache and people felt slightly robbed. The crowds they thought they'd draw in consisted of maybe       twenty people on a Saturday night. Not good. They spent 3 million dollars on a roller coaster from Italy, and the laborers to assemble it. Before they even began setting up, people were against the park, but after seeing what they offered, their prices, and the fact it wasn't even complete, they were really against it. The park brought brought in virtually no money, so sponsors pulled out. Now the park is closed down, businesses affiliated are having to auction the parks items off to try to collect money owed, and employees were left without pay they earned. The park tried to be a big amusement park from the beginning, even though they knew they were merely a county fair. In the end, they paid big time for it.
