MYPOST 5: If you could invite 3 people to dinner, who would you invite? And Why? What would you want to talk about?

In our life, I believe that most of you have admired, respected, loved, or saluted persons that bring inspiration or motivation for you to keep moving forward and breakthrough obstacles in order to succeed in life. We wish to meet and talk with them in order to appreciate their success side. To me, if I can invite 3 people to dinner, I will invite Robin Sharma, Bi Rain, and Stephen Chow. This is because of their contribution to their own career has made a big inspiration for everyone to pursue their own dream.  

Robin Sharma is a motivation speaker and writer from Canada. One of his book series about From the Monk who sold his Ferrari has inspired many people around the world to pursue their own dream by leading thyself toward extraordinary. The reason that I wish to dinner with him is because I want to ask about the contradiction between money and dream. I realized that certain people working for money rather than their own dream. The reason behind is they have faced failure many times. Without any option, they have to give up their own dream to work for money to live. For example, the person love to write, but none of the company want him, he lacks of money and sacrifice most of his time but he still not success at all in the end.  When nearly 30 years, without any option, he has to go to work to earn money for living. Therefore, I want to know how Robin will response to this question for younger generation to face these challenges and risks and how to make a wise turning point to them for better living.

Bi Rain is a South Korean singer, dancer, actor, and music composer. Most of his albums have sold more than 1 million copies across the world and he won many awards in the music and film industry. The reason that I wish to dinner with him is because I really impressed with his passion and enthusiasm in his works by making dream become reality as an entertainer. Besides that, I will ask him a question about if you are not entertainer today, what would you do? I will ask him this question is because most of the people today put a lot of effort into their works but it cannot become reality due to society and parental pressure. I want to know how Rain will answer this question to me as an admonition.

The last one is Stephen Chow, an actor, film director and producer from China. I wish I can dinner with him is because I want to know if became a director but there is no financial sustainability behind, would he still continue his career. This is because there are many life advice from motivational speakers or successful people to persuade people to pursue their own dream but sometime it needs huge financial resources and support. Sometimes, the film does not generate profits for your works. For example, people upload videos to Youtube to earn passive income but if there are no profits generated from Youtube, but you like to do it, would you still proceed with it or give up?   

In conclusion, here are the persons that I wish to dinner with them in my life. Frankly, success is a journey and not an endpoint in our life. To me, there is no fixed route to success and it depends on us how to plan our strategy to make it happens. Even if their answer is not within my expectation, I know the answer deep down inside which is, if you can chase your own dream, never give up, keep in faith and make it happens, if you cannot chase your own dream, don’t feel frustrated because life is full of hope and opportunity.
