Big things start small

"......Isn't it true that a project with big ambition is very unclear at the start? If you want it to be clear, you'd never be able to do it at all; if something is guaranteed to succeed, then when it succeeds it won't ring loud. Big things start small.

We lose to them because we accept the loss, tell ourselves we're not as good as they are — and that's precisely what causes someone's idea to be dismissed as 'if your idea were that good, the world would have already done it.' The reason Vietnam never manages anything big is because our imagination is narrow, timid, hesitant. The reason we lag behind by a few years is because we categorize ourselves that way (a fish sees itself as a fish, doesn't want to climb trees), and so we never end up leading the field. If Google had thought that way, Project Glass wouldn't exist today, because before we knew about it people treated it as sci-fi that only existed in Mission Impossible or Terminator. User habits are for us to change — build a product that changes the user, and that's 'Make internet change Vietnamese life'; if you think customers aren't 'old enough' to use it, then VNG's slogan should be changed to 'Make internet for Vietnamese's changed life'........" — from somebody.
