Comments on: Profiles in Self-Education: Pascal Dangin http://personalmba.com/pascal-dangin/ Helping You Learn Essential Business Principles Without Mortgaging Your Life Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:13:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: zowoco http://personalmba.com/pascal-dangin/comment-page-1/#comment-273 zowoco Sun, 11 May 2008 14:17:41 +0000 http://personalmba.com/?p=133#comment-273 Thanks, I find Pascal's story really inspiring, especially the beginning where he was borrowing a Mac and working through the night. Here is a guy who really believed in himself, had a pssion, stuck his neck out! And see how all the time input has paid off for him. But he also had great vision, built a bigger picture for himself and walked into it! What really enthralls me is that he took 2 existing concepts, the camera and the computer and built a third concept from them. He trod where no man had trod before and educated himself in a system which only he could put together, because no one else was aware of its inherent possibilites. This teaches me there are connections to be made all around us, it is no use pretending there is no opportunity! We have to choose a vision for the future and build it big, sometimes even having to master a complex technique as Pascal did. He never gave up but always kept on to his end vision. This inspires me: set yourself a big goal, go towards it step by step, let nothing distract you, heed no negative voices but just believe in yourself and your project and expect to win through, even if it takes you years. The other key issue is that Pascal kept a secret: this actually made his task easier to complete because he didn't constantly have people laughing at him, or any direct competition to fight.
