When do successful people realize that they've got something special?

Question

People like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, J.K. Rowling-- when do people like that realize they've got something special? I've always wanted to achieve something in my life, but right now I feel like I'm just coasting along and my life is quickly passing by. I feel lost. If I'll ever have a success story to tell, when will I realize it? When do the successful people realize they have that 'BIG' idea? I guess not everyone is meant to make it big, but it's alright to dream, right?

Answer 1

well all the successful people say the same thing dont they.. 'ive dreamt of this for so long' , 'keep striving for your goals'. stuff like that. they seem to pretty much say that stuff but they got to realise it just aint that easy, some people were just destined to be that way, like bill gates im thinking that it was kinda like everything was perfectly laid out, he was into computers, was in a time where the world needed to start networking and he had an idea which fitted the moment kinda thing lol. i dunno 'Just do it. Nike'

Answer 2

They know all along.
