Walt Disney's life was a testament to the power of creativity, innovation, and perseverance. Born on December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois, Disney grew up with a passion for art and storytelling. His early years were marked by financial struggles, and his family moved frequently, eventually settling in Kansas City. Disney's interest in drawing led him to attend the Kansas City Art Institute and work as a paperboy to support his family.

*Early Challenges and Triumphs*

- Disney dropped out of high school at 16 to join the Red Cross Ambulance Corps during World War I, lying about his age to serve. His ambulance was decorated with cartoons, showcasing his artistic talent.
- After the war, Disney started his own animation company, Laugh-O-Gram Studio, which unfortunately went bankrupt. Undeterred, he moved to Hollywood and founded the Disney Brothers Studio with his brother Roy.

*The Birth of Mickey Mouse*

- Disney's early success came with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but due to a contractual dispute, he lost the rights to the character. This led to the creation of Mickey Mouse, originally named Mortimer, but later renamed by Disney's wife, Lillian. Mickey debuted in "Steamboat Willie" in 1928, revolutionizing animation with synchronized sound.

*Disney's Legacy*

- Disney's innovative approach to animation and storytelling led to the creation of timeless classics like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the first full-length animated film.
- He pioneered new techniques, such as the multiplane camera, which added depth and dimension to his films.
- Disney's vision for family entertainment extended beyond films to theme parks, with Disneyland opening in 1955, a dream-turned-reality that showcased his creativity and innovation.

NEVER LET YOUR CLOSENESS TO A KING MAKE YOU FORGET THEIR CROWN

How do you treat the people you look up to, especially when you get close to them?

Let me break it down for you.

You know how we sometimes get too comfortable with people we admire?

You meet someone you've always looked up to, maybe a boss, a mentor, or even a celeb.

At first, you're in awe.

But then you start seeing them up close - their habits, their quirks, maybe even their flaws. And suddenly, it's like the shine wears off.

But here's the thing: just because you see someone's human side doesn't make their greatness any less real.

Think about it.

That CEO you admire might snore in her sleep.

That artist whose work moves you to tears might have the worst morning breath.

That leader changing lives could be terrible at keeping time.

That mentor you love might be dating four ladies at the same time.

That influencer you follow might get cranky when she's hungry.

Here's the thing: those amazing people you admire? They're human just like you and me. They breathe, eat, and sleep.

Even the most amazing people have their off days, their weaknesses, their not-so-glamorous moments. But that doesn't erase their talents or achievements.

The real test is how you handle this knowledge.

Can you see someone at their most ordinary and still respect their extraordinary abilities?

Can you see someone at their most human and still respect their genius?

That's the challenge.

I've seen it happen too many times.

Too many of us have messed up good relationships because we got too familiar. We started taking people for granted, forgetting the very qualities that drew us to them in the first place.

Don't fall into that trap.

Just because you've seen your boss stressed out over a deadline doesn't mean their leadership skills vanished.

Just because your mentor loves trashy reality TV doesn't negate their wisdom.

So, let me ask you this: Who have you started to 'commonise' because you got close?

Maybe it's a mentor, a boss, a coach, a colleague or even a friend.

Someone whose greatness you've forgotten because you've gotten too close.

Take a step back and remember why you admired them in the first place.

Bring back that respect.

Why? Because being close to greatness is a privilege, and you don't want to miss out on the blessings that come with it.

Too many of us lose out on amazing opportunities because we get too comfortable. We start thinking, "Oh, they're just like me. What can they really teach me?"

Don't fall into that trap.

That mentor who burps after lunch? They might drop a life-changing piece of advice between bites.

That boss who snores during long flights? They could offer you a career-altering project when they wake up.

Don't let familiarity blind you to the wisdom and opportunities right in front of you.

Remember, a prophet is still a prophet, no matter how well you know them.

A king is still a king, even when you see them without their crown and in their pajamas. Their words still carry weight, their actions still have power.

Stay humble, stay respectful, and watch how it changes the game for you.

Till we get to the promised land, I believe in your success and will continue rooting for you...

RICHARD BRANSON FAILED BUSINESSES

Richard Branson’s Parakeet and Christmas Tree Businesses
Richard Branson, the now famous founder of Virgin Group, first began his entrepreneurial career in 1966. In his teens, Branson attempted to breed and sell budgerigars (parakeets), but when the birds began multiplying quicker than he could sell them, he scrapped the business. Next, Branson decided to grow and sell Christmas trees. Sadly that business also failed after his rabbits ate his product.

Today, he's a successful entrepreneur.

THE REASON SO MANY YOUNG MEN ARE AFRAID OF GETTING MARRIED NOW is because their income is low and they are afraid of being disrespected, put down and insulted by their wife!

They are rather waiting for the time they have "enough" to meet "all her needs" and "win" her respect!

If you do that, two things may happen: 1. You may never get married 2. You may marry a woman who loves you for your money, nothing more!

Some highly successful business men in the the world confessed they had nothing, I mean nothing when they married their wives. Cosmas Maduka, owner of COSCHARIS, a multi billionaire luxurious car dealer said he was in poverty when he married his wife at 20! Mensa Otabil, a very successful preacher, founder, chancellor of a university and business man in Ghana, also said he had nothing! No plate, no spoon, no chair, no bed, no nothing! When he married his wife! Fela Durotoye said he had only a table and a chair! Ben Carson, the world celebrated Neuro surgion was still struggling in school when he met candy! The list goes on!

You will only have very serious problem in marriage if , you are lazy and have an entitlement mentality! If you believe your wife is the one to pay all your bills and rescue you for life then don't bother to marry please, marriage is not for you!

Some women have married such men hoping they will break into wealth after marriage but their dreams were shattered when the man refuse to dream, work hard, shatter limitations and walk into greatness!

If you marry a woman to impress her with your money, you don't have a wife, you have a contract! She is to supply you respect and submission while you supply her money! The day your money is over, so is your marriage!

Things happen! People lose their jobs, businesses may crash! What will she do when you no longer make money and desperately need her support? That is when you will know whether you married a wife or a disaster!

I hope this post is simple enough?

May you receive the grace to step out in faith and do the needful!

When you marry a good woman who believes in you and you work hard leaning on God's wisdom and power to get wealth, you are the next billionaire the world is waiting for!

Amen?

Thanks for reading, God bless you!
Class dismissed........
Cheers!
