A friend of mine Gabriel, had a tiny farm near Medellin, Colombia. He only had only had a cow and dreamed about having a large ranch. Once he told his father, “Jose, I would like to have that land over there… how can I get it?”
His father encouraged him to go and talk to the landowner. Gabriel replied, “But we don’t have the money.” His father said, “Do not worry. Go and talk.”
Now Gabriel not only owns the land but Via Lactea Theme Park that includes several hundred cows, an small zoo, canopy, horse ride cabalgatas, four wheels motos.
A year ago, Gabriel’s wife Sarah had a dream… “I want to build the biggest cow.” They called Manuel Hernandez for this task. He had plans for the project. Then they asked, “How much will it cost?” Hernandez mentioned a big sum of money.
The manager of the bank trusted them and their dreams. On October 2008, La Manuela, the biggest cow in the world was opened to the public.
It is nine metres tall and 16 metres long. The cow actually eats you … and you travel inside the cow learning how grass is converted into milk. Afterwards, you descend from the udder of the cow lift completing a 17-minute magical ride.
Moral: If you can dream about it and put all your energy and desire to make it happen, it will become a reality.
