HUGE

HUGE

Just like any thing that can to be accomplished, HUGE also is a thing. Definition of HUGE may however vary. HUGE may be a loser in love trying to have a stable relationship or a beggar aiming to be a millionaire. All of us have something HUGE in our life; a goal which seems impossible to achieve. We get intimidated by the prospect of the process that needs to be followed to achieve the HUGE. Thousands of doubts gush into our tiny heads. We doubt our capabilities since we have never come across something as HUGE as our goal, ever before in our life. We lack the experience of walking the path.

I was wondering whether the successful don’t fear the HUGE. I believe that even the most successful person would have been intimidated by the thought of HUGE, long before he was successful. But what the successful person did was fight the fear. Howsoever HUGE the huge may be, the basics to achieve HUGE is still the same as the basics to achieve any short term goal. Lets take an example; Assume that today you don’t know how to invest in the IPO in the Indian stock market. But you would like to invest in it. So what will be the first thing you will do? You may surf the net, call the person who knows the operation of IPO, take some professional help, etc. Any action that you take will be towards gaining more information about the process. But you will have to take the step. The very important first step; once you take this first step you will be able to take next step; It’s like a treasure hunt; First step will lead you to the next clue and then the cycle continues. Before you even realize you start enjoying the process. You want to finish the current step so that you can move towards the next step. As excitement increases, the fear disappears since the mental energy is focused towards achieving the goal and not towards the fear. However the quest of HUGE involves a lot of perseverance, mainly because the numbers of steps are more. Midway through the journey one cannot afford to be frustrated. Every step may need to be performed multiple number of times before completing it successfully. It doesn’t take courage or any rocket science to achieve something HUGE. All it takes is performing the tiniest steps correctly and following the sequence of steps. If you try to jump you will fail; If you don’t walk, you will get stagnated. All you need to do is concentrate on current step.

The process is similar to use case diagrams. Before making the project what we do is decide what we want to do; Once the question is answered all the energy is given to finish each step sequentially. HUGE is the “what”. Once HUGE is discovered, all we need to do is follow one step at a time and we will reach the goal. If the readers know their HUGE, then take the first step; rest will follow.
