Life, I want to be quoted to have
said that it’s for two set of people, the successful and the
unsuccessful. That I would be successful is not a thing of the mouth but
a conviction comes to the mind and put into reality. I have seen so
many people struggle in life to succeed. They do everything possible to
be successful. To them success depends only on the amount of hardwork
they can put into their work. But it is sad that they don’t get the
required result. There is another set of people who believe success is
meant only for certain classes of people. This set of people believes
they cannot and will never achieve success no matter how hard they try.
To them their names have been removed from the success book.
A successful person is somebody who has
been able to achieve an aim, fame, wealth or social position. A
successful person is somebody who has been able to start a project and
see it to the end and should be guided quite a number of people to bring
their own project into completion. Success is one of the cheapest
commodities you can get to buy in the market only if you have the right
negotiating skills. You bargain for whatever kind of success you want.
Whether short term or long term because there is a thin line between
hope and fear. While the foolish allow fear to weaken them, the wise
take advantage of the lesson that is learnt between consequence and
circumstance and keep hope alive. The difference between a successful
person and others is not necessary lack of strength or knowledge but
rather a lack of will.
A successful man always looks for
opportunities where others see nothing. They find a lesson while others
only see a problem. They are solution focused because they consciously
and methodically create their own success, while others hope success
will find them. I always know that the successful mind is as fearful as
the mind of any other person, but they are not controlled or limited by
fear. They ask right questions- the ones which put them in a productive,
creative, positive mindset and emotional state. We gain strength,
courage and confident by every experience when we stop to look fear in
the face. We must do the things which we think we cannot do. Fear
cripples more than physical presence of danger. If you want to develop
courage dare to do the things you fear and keep on doing them until you
have a record of successful experiences behind you. That is a sure way
to conquer fear. You can conquer almost any fear if you will make up
your mind to do so
Let’s look at the reality between hope
and fear. I t does not help to keep looking at your fears, focus on your
hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustration, concentrate on your
potentials, concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but
with what it is possible for you to do. Be busy, productive and
proactive. Lie on your couch, planning, over – thinking, sit on your
hands and generally go around in circle and get the job done. For a man
to be successful, align yourself with like minded people. Understand the
importance of team work and create a win-win relationship. It is better
you innovate rather than imitate.
Many failed in life, many would still
fail and many are still failing all because they did not have important
decisions. They don’t deal with problems and challenges quickly and
effectively, they put their head in the sand. They run away from risk
and never improve their selves and at the end of the day, they blame
everyone and everything but themselves for their failure. The failed to
understand that between hoping times and worrying days there is a
yawning gap. True there are times when things happen which will have no
control over but those are the times when we stand up and clinch to our
hopes. Blaming others however, make us bitter, confused and angry. This
weakens us. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and
discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and
benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid. They
have balance. They may be financially successful, they know the terms
money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people
who are on a financial level only, are not successful at all.
Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals
success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s just another
resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it. Understanding the
importance of discipline and self control is a key and a way to be
travelled by.
The real world is upon us has long as we
have breadth in us. We would be in vain to ignore this because pride and
precedent cannot over shadow reasoning. There is no easy path to glory.
There is no easy road to fame. Life, however we may view it, is no
simple parlour game, to enjoy its reward you have to fight, endure and
remain generally rugged. I used to think that the best shot at success
lay in avoiding challenges and seeing failure as an enemy but I have
learnt that when a man continues to hope and fear failure, he would
remain obscure.
Many things happen under the sun, but how
sad we settle for second best and live lives of mediocrity – all
because we refuse to search within us and come up with what is refuse to
search within us and come up with what is buried. So, what do we see?
People pretend they do not need ‘much’ money when they do; some say that
they can manage any job but we crave for better. We become mendicants.
What a wasted live!
Where are those with guts to give
success, real success, a shot? Guts are combination of confidence,
courage, and conviction, strength of character, stick-to-itiveness,
aggression and resilience. These are mandatory for anyone who wants to
get to and stay at the top. Having an exciting destination is like
setting a needle in your compass. From then on, the compass knows only
one point – the targeted goal. And it will faithfully guide you there
through the darkest fiercest storms. A friend once said to me, ‘I AM
TIMELESS”. This can be translated to mean the fact that while the dart
times and storms come and go, I remain. Those we celebrate as great
became great not because they have two heads but because they faced
their fears and overcame their challenges. If it is to be, it is up to
you.
