your dreams. You have to keep the boundaries of your dreams as large as possible.
You can’t reach your target without a dream. You shouldn’t fear failure. You
shouldn’t give up on your dream just because you failed. If you want to prosper
you must become an entrepreneur. All that is necessary is courage. You know
multiple languages and the internet; you know the world much better than us.”
