“Stop waiting for someone to give you permission to be great. That permission was never theirs to give.”
May 9 celebrates Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti — honouring the poet and philosopher who became Asia’s first Nobel laureate at a time when the world was not accustomed to recognising greatness from the East. Nobody granted him permission. He simply created with such depth and force that the world had no choice but to pay attention. It is also the birthday of Billy Joel, who was rejected by record labels and told he was not commercial enough — before going on to become one of the best-selling musicians in history. Business Strategist Hirav Shah sees this repeatedly: the people who wait for validation before they begin almost never begin. The people who begin before they feel validated are the ones who eventually make the validation irrelevant. Your work is the permission. Start.
