Don’t Let Anyone . . . On Your Dream – “A 2-Minute Story, Wanna Hear It?”

Just heard this one on a baseball broadcast of a game that had Troy Tulowitzki, star shortstop and team leader of the Colorado Rockies, playing.

When Troy was in the 5^th grade he was assigned to write an essay on want he wanted to become. From the heart, he wrote he wanted to be a professional athlete.

His teacher handed the essay back to him and told him he should write of a more “realistic” ambition. And being only a 5^th-grader, he did what he was told

Fast forward 20 years. Troy has made it to the big leagues, one of only 750 men to be called a professional major league baseball player. And one day he’s signing autographs.

You guessed it. His old teacher put Troy’s old easy in front of his former student, asked for his signature and said he has never discouraged a student of his from pursuing a dream since Troy made it to the big show.

He also thanked Troy for teaching him this lesson: Don’t let anyone ever dump on your dream.

ANYONE.
