We are yet to realise that big things have small beginnings. Many times we do small things befitting a big ending; what we forget is to add necessary trust into the custom mix. Without a dream, proper intention and enough trust….nothing happens; this is the law of the Universe. Jimmy Wales started Wikipedia in 2001. He had a noble cause to talk about. The idea of an online encyclopaedia was attractive and hundreds of volunteers joined him to build the largest encyclopaedia in human history. Wikipedia isn't a commercial website. It's a community creation, entirely written and funded by people all over the world. Today more than 340 million people use Wikipedia every month - almost a third of the Internet-connected world. The dream of Jimmy Wales is to improve it every day.
One person writes something, somebody improves it a little, and it keeps getting better, over time. Imagine how much we can achieve, once we decide to work with consistency and determination. Wikipedia is about human power of doing extraordinary things. It's proof of our collective potential to change the world. Note that Wikipedia is free of any charges and is the most authentic description of anything and everything. Wikipedia has now become the best knowledge spreading agency in the world. The Wikipedia Foundation is a non-profit organisation Jimmy Wales created in 2003, to operate, grow, nurture and protect Wikipedia. For ten million US dollars a year and with a staff of fewer than 35 people, it runs the fifth most-read website in the entire world. Surprising! More surprising is the truth that you are still waiting for somebody to come and begin the dream project for you….
There will be two dates on your tombstone and all your friends will read them; but all that is going to matter is the dash between them. Make your life worthwhile for others.
