You don’t need permission to dream: Sir Tim Smit KBE on why you should dream big

Description

Sir Tim Smit KBE says, “People won’t get in your way if you do something so big that nobody has any belief that it’s possible.” 

He wants people to realise it’s never too late to become the person they once dreamed they could be. 

Sir Tim shares how dreaming big, developing your own voice, and telling stories that excite can make us come alive, like water to parched flowers.

Further inspiration

Sir Tim suggests Dwell, a poetry collection by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, inspired by The Lost Gardens of Heligan. He said the language felt so fresh it made him see an old friend, the gardens, as if for the very first time.
