Do you know Muhammad Yunus who is the founder of the Grameen Bank? A few years ago, he came out with a unique idea to help the poor people in Bangladesh.
What is so special about that bank and that man? The special is the bank is only for the poor people. For the first time he came out with the idea, so many people said this and that about it. One of the famous questions among them was "can he make it with that idea?".
However, The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2006, divided into two equal parts, to Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank for their efforts to create economic and social development from below. So, what you think now?
Is he silly? Sure not! If yes, how can they appreciate him for his idea? Until today, Grameen Bank still move on with the same idea and still earns million dollars every year from it.
In my opinion, he was thinking out of the box. That's the main reason why he can success although you think that his idea is going to kill him. Let we look at two different dimension.
The first dimension is the logic. If you use logic in judging Muhammad Yunus's idea, you are going to say that he is stupid. How can he make money with the poor people?
Now we look at the second dimension. The second dimension will be named as 'think out of the box'. Muhammad Yunus was lucky to see the future in the second dimension. He knew that there are so many poor people in Bangladesh and can you guess how much can he earn by only collecting USD$1.00 from each one of them?
Besides that, for your information less people in the second dimension compare to the first one. So, if you think out the box, you are going to be success in your business. In my journey to a million, I want to use the second dimension.
This will make me unique and I will have a more valuable success compare to the others who move in the first dimension.
