Gene Wilder: I Believe In Dreaming Big

I believe in dreaming big like various people before have. Many famous people believed in dreaming big and reaching for your goals, no matter what the world throws at you. This is one of the reasons many famous people have excelled and reach heights not many people can reach. For realistic people underestimate their ability and strive to get to one place and that place only, like Albert Einstein quote “ logic will take you from A to B but Imagination will take you everywhere” . One famous celebrity that had passed away recently, but is an example of always dreaming big is Gene Wilder, the actor who played Willy Wonka. Throughout Gene Wilder's life and career he has gone through turmoil such as when he was attending school, Gene Wilder was bullied

and assaulted by the other students because he was the only Hasidic student at the school but that didn’t stop his beliefs and dreams of being an actor. He is now known as one of the greatest actors to jump onto a stage all because he dreamed big and he didn’t settle for less. Similar to Gene Wilder, another prominent figure in history that builds his entire business around dreaming big and imagination is Walt Disney, one of America's greatest animators and entrepreneur. Walt Disney has also had many downfalls but he has come up from those downfalls by believing in his abilities to come back like one such example that has happened to him was that he was rejected 300 times by investors who did not want to help him because his idea of a mouse was ridiculous and absurd. He was also fired by a newspaper company as a result of they told him that he lacked creativity in what he did. Throughout the rejections he took, Walt Disney didn’t give up and worked up to the top to create his own company. He would subsequently dominate the animation industry in the 1900’s. These are just two examples of why it is better to dream big and pursue your goals, no matter the turmoil and rejection you receive in your life.
