Ignore Michelle Yeoh's advice to 'dream big' – success requires boring, old-fashioned hard work ✒️ Esther Walker via ipaperviews
“I would like to thank dumb luck, sheer hard work, random chance and the see-sawing vicissitudes of the zeitgeist for my success,” isn’t nearly as nice as “dream big and your dreams will come true”.
“Dreams” in a movie context are all just echoes of Judy Garland anyway, singing “and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true”. Garland who was, of course, put on a diet of pills, coffee, cigarettes and bone broth by MGM when she was still a teenager and died of a barbiturate overdose when she was 47.
I do quite hate that poster that urges you to “Work hard and be nice to people,” but in the end, that really is all you’ve got.
