Why dreaming big has problems

Sometimes, people tell me that when they grow up, they will be rich and successful and become things like actors, singers, instrumentalists, famed entrepreneurs, et cetera. 

But, I always end up telling them this that the chances or the probability of you becoming what do you just told me is one in a million. Yes, there is only one mark Zuckerberg, only one Steve Jobs, only one bill gates, only one Stephen Spielberg, or only one Usain bolt.

the rest 999,999 are those who have tried and failed or have done only halfway with their dream and now in a problem.

people say that the fruit of labour is sweet, hardworking always pays off, always follow your dreams and do what you dream but according to me more than that luck plays are larger and in your success.

With the degree of any Ivy League university, there is no guarantee that you will have accomplished the goods of life or you are set for a bright future ahead or that you will become very rich. This is because even if you work hard you may not be what you desire because there are people like you are working as hard as you, maybe harder and dreaming bigger than you who are also now in the picture. For every one of you are there are thousands more people exactly like you. So what do you think your chances are to become something important in this mosh pit of people. The chances are less than 1%.

This is called survivorship bias as coined by Robert Dobelli. 

With increasing population your chances will reduce. This is also the reason off on employment of those who dream big. It is not wrong dream big but you should know that the chances of you becoming your dream or a minute. So, what do you do?

Practice at what you are doing. Do not listen to other people's stories of becoming big because you know that deep inside they are false hopes and dreams. Many people say many things but many times those things are not true. Think of what you do and what do you do only. What happens in the world, if it is not directly relate to your life or affect your life in any way whatsoever, then delete it or do not listen to it because it's of no use. So if you hear that a pope is being elected, do not go deep into the process. Do not go deep into everything related to it because it's not going affect your life. It's fun doing about it but it's not going to affect your life. So practice what do you do and do what do you do do well.
