Have you ever asked yourself why
the most successful people continue to gain more and more wealth each day? What
is the secret that they know that you have not yet unraveled? These tickling
questions should trigger your mind to come up with the tactics of discovering
how they are able to ‘maneuver’ their way to success. For instance, Warren Buffett who is one of the most
successful investors critically understands that to obtain value, one has to
pay the price.
Here is the revelation that you
need to understand:
1.
Learning
from past mistakes without losing focus on future investment
In one of his quotes, Bill Gates (who is the owner of
Microsoft) states “ It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the
lessons of failure” This actually imply that for you to constantly succeed,
you should identify your strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities and
channel your rejuvenated energy towards achieving your topmost objective of
success. This success should not only be reflected in the monetary terms that
you invest but also the investment that you channel in time management.
2.
To be
the best, you must handle the worst
One of the celebrated Basketball players
Michael Jordan once said “If you are trying to achieve, there will be
roadblocks. I have them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have
to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out
how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Indeed you will come to
understand that this is what has made him to have a successful career as a
basket ball player. That is, the power
of resilience. Actually, in his career, he once said that he missed about
9000 shots but that did not deter him from achieving his dream.
3.
Working
consistently hard through maximizing on your time
Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company once said, “Do
your best every time because by doing a thing well you build something valuable
into yourself. He further emphasized by saying that “chop a stick and it will
warm you twice.” This distinctively tells you that in order to achieve your
level best; you got to commit more of your time (sometimes extra hours) to
ensure that you come up with something constructive that will boost your
success.
4.
Dreaming
big and waking up to chase them into reality
Sometimes I am amazed by
individuals who actually “dream big” where they can systematically and in a
very elaborate manner tell you on what they aspire to achieve and five years
down the line, they are still having the same dream; no step of action taken at
all. I believe that each one of us was made for a purpose and destined for
greatness.
Thus it is said, a ship will start sailing once it has left the shore. Also, you
need to understand it is never too late to become what you were destined to be.
The first step will make a significant difference in your highway of success. Actually,
life is trying out things and you will see them working!
