How is success possible

** How is success possible??

No one gets success overnight Nor is anyone presented on a plate۔۔۔۔۔۔
No birth is successful from the womb of the mother۔ Every human being has to work hard after coming into this world. Those who love their work share the destination.
 If some principles are followed, success can be achieved۔

" The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”

Being a successful artist has always been extremely difficult, imagine if he decided to give up this ambition in favour of something easier?

Oftentimes, people often decided to put their dreams aside for something more “realistic”. To give up their dream for something easier. This quote teaches us the danger of such a point of view.
Instead be ambitious.

** Find What You Love to Do and Do It?

From Oprah Winfrey, Media Mogul:

“You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.”

This is a good quote to remember and think about when you’re at work.

Imagine being as successful as possible in your current job. Ultimately you’ll probably find yourself working extremely hard and this it will take up much of your time.

If it’s a job you hate, then being successful at it might only mean filling your life with something you hate to do. What’s the sense in this?

Instead, why not focus on doing something you love? When you’ve found what you’re passionate about, you get the motivation to keep you moving. Success at this means the fulfilment of your dreams.

Not sure what your passion is yet? You should learn about this Motivation Engine first.

Even if you’re not successful, you still filled your time with something you love to do. Many successful musicians spent years of their lives doing unpaid performances, the only reason they kept playing was because they loved to perform.

**  Learn How to Balance Life

ADVERTISING

From Phil Knight, CEO of Nike Inc.:

“There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success.”
All too often, people think that to be successful, they need to make the object of their success their life.

If a person thinks their job will lead them to success, then they may spend countless hours per day, and well into the evening working hard.

However this comes at the cost of rest, your health and having an enjoyable life. Ultimately they may burn out and cease to be successful at their job anyway.

If success comes from having a strong social life and a good group of friends, their job may suffer; meaning that they may lose their job, and then be unable to afford going out with friends.

In these ways, success, as Phil Knight says above, is helped by balance. Think of it as a balance between rest and work, or work and play.

To achieve that balance, this Ultimate Guide to Prioritizing Your Work And Life can help you.

** Do Not Be Afraid of Failure

From Henry Ford, Founder of Ford Motors:

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”
There is a story, it’s unconfirmed whether it actually happened, yet the message within is none the less true:

Thomas Edison inventing the lightbulb was the result of several hundred failed attempts. In an interview, he was asked “How do you feel after all of your failed attempts?”

His response was great, “I didn’t fail, I learned hundreds of ways not to invent the lightbulb”

He saw each “failure” as a lesson. From that lesson he learned what won’t work, and also might work instead.

Each failed attempt, each rejection, were key steps on his path to success. It is easy to feel like you should give up after a failure. But perhaps in that failure is a lesson.

Pay attention to your failures, study them. Perhaps then you’ll learn how to succeed.

Learning from Mistakes

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

Moral,,,,,,,

We can also learn from our mistakes.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.   Truman Capote


It can very easily make the difference between success and failure. 
You must learn from your mistakes and be realistic about your abilities.
People who try to over- reach often fall down.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.- Gautam Buddha
A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.- Chanakya

The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.   Napoleon Hill

Develop success from failuresDiscouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.   Dale Carnegie

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.   George Lorimer

The starting point of all achievement is desire.   Napoleon Hill


Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.   Francis Chan
You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.   Michael Jordan

When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.   Audre Lorde

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwardsSo you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your futureYou have to trust in something  your gut, destiny, life, karma, whateverThis approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.   Steve Jobs

Develop success from failuresDiscouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.   Dale Carnegie

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.   George Bernard Shaw
The past is a ghost, the future a dream. All we ever have is now.

Baby Camel and Mother

A mother and a baby camel were lying around, and suddenly the baby camel asked, “mother, may I ask you some questions? Mother said, “Sure! Why son, is there something bothering you? Baby said, “Why do camels have humps?” Mother said “Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water”. Baby said, “Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?” Mother said, “Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone does!” Baby said, “Okay, then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it bothers my sight”. Mother with pride said, “My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind”.

Baby after thinking said, “I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protect my eyes from the desert then what in god’s name are we doing here in the Zoo!?”

Moral,,,,,
Skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences are only useful if you are at the right place.

** Goals

When it comes to setting you big bold goal, the more you can slice that elephant the higher your probability of achieving it.

Don't Let Others Set The Goals For You
When you let others set your goals or modify them for you, this can have several damaging effects on your ability to achieve them.

First, it's now no longer your goal, and you have no sense of ownership or commitment to this new goal, as its now someone else's goal.

Second, people can look to make you more aggressive and look to set the goal to be bigger than you believe possible, and when you lack belief, this can cause you to quit at the first sign of difficulty.

If people want to be involved, then let them help you define how you will achieve the your goal, but don't let them set a new goal for you.

Be Clear What Success Looks Look
If you don't know what success looks like, how will you know when you have achieved it. If you don't have a clear goal, then you cannot put a clear plan in place to achieve it. 

One of my clients was looking to increase their revenue by 50-100 percent in the upcoming year. They were very happy that they were setting a big bold goal, but the challenge is the plan to increase by 50 percent is not the same as the plan to increase by 100 percent.

So which plan are you going to going to implement? 
Or are you going to implement any old plan and just hope?

Hope is not a strategy!

Clear goals allow you to create clear plans, which increase your probability of success.

Understand Why This Goal Is Important
If you don't know why the goal is important to you, then it's just random. Understanding the why will give you a stronger sense of purpose, and this sense of purpose will keep you motivated during the difficult times. When you lack a sense of purpose if things do start to go awry, there is nothing stopping you from downgrading your goal and lowering the bar.

To achieve big bold goals, you need to be firm on the goal, but flexible on the approach, and having a strong why will help you keep your eyes on the prize and keep going in the tough times.

** Track Your Performance

I'm a big believer in the adage what gets measured gets done, but I am an even bigger believer in the power of motivation. 

When we slice the elephant and know what the small interim goals are, as we start to achieve them, this will increase both belief in the approach and also confidence that success is achievable.  

If you're leading a team, then make sure that not only do you track performance, but that you also share the progress with your teams. 

When the going gets tough, it's great to hear that progress is being made. Sometimes when you have your head down and are charging towards the finishing line, it can be difficult to know just how close you are and hearing the progress can encourage you to make that final push to get over the line.

If you want to set your self a big bold goal, then to increase your chance of success, be clear about what success looks like, make sure it's your goal and understand why it's important to you, break it down to small goals, track your performance and celebrate each small success. If you can do tht then you will signficantly increase your chance of being in that small group of 8 percent who achieve their goals.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther.

How is success possible? Part 5

**GOALS SETTING**

Be clear about your goals. If you need be break your goals into smaller, more manageable tasks.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievableWinners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.  

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of itI want to have lived the width of it as well.  

( Diane Ackerman)

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity.

A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at.  

 ( Bruce Lee)

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

If you ever have to make a choice between learning and inspiration, choose learning. It works most of the time......

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

Motivation is what gets you startedHabit is what keeps you going.   

** Keep Your Dream **

Inspiration story....

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Isidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class.’

“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?’

“The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ “Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.”

Moral of the story,,,,,,,,,

Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.   No Dream is too big or too small when one works hard to live it.  One should always try making dreams come true no matter what.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter. 

  (Francis Chan)

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's planAnd guess what they have planned for you? Not much.  

 (Jim Rohn)

If you want to change the future then change the present because your future is the result of your present.

** What are the accessories to success that we can use to achieve success for ourselves?

** What are the downsides to success?

**  What are the secrets of a successful life?

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
Success is leaving a good path, or even better, leaving no path at all.I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.....Mother Teresa

Behind every successful man there a lot of unsuccessful years.

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful...
 (Calvin Klein)

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

My success is not who I am.

We can also learn from our mistakes.

My secret for success? I don't know what the hell success means.
(Al Lewis)

Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning.

Just one positive thought in the morning can change 
your whole day..........

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours....... (Henry David Thoreau)

Success consists of going from failure to failure without 
loss of enthusiasm.
 (Winston Churchill)

Eminem says......

"Success is my only option, failure's not.....

"Albert Einstein say,,,,,

Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.....

The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.. .

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do....

People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other. 

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it......

Celebrate your successes. Find some humor in your failures. 
Sam Walton (Walmart)

Believe you can and you're halfway there.......

Difference between motivation and inspiration - Motivation is external and short lived. Inspiration is internal and lifelong.

** The False Human Belief **

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. 
No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime can break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said,

People who succeed have momentumThe more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self fulfilling prophecy.

“when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them.
 As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.

They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed.
 These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

** Failure is a part of learning. 

We should never give up the struggle in life. 

You Fail not because you are destined to fail, but because
 there are lessons which you need to learn as you move on with your life.

** ALWAYS BE TRUTHFUL **

One day, Princy was alone at home. Her parents had gone to attend a party. 
Princy saw a stapler lying on her father's table. 
She picked it up and started playing with it. 

She tore the pages of an old book and started stapling them. 
When the staples got finished, she tried to refill the stapler. 
As she didn't know how to do it, she broke it. 

Princy got scared and left the stapler on the table.....
next day,
when her father asked 
her about the broken stapler,,,,,
she confessed that 
it was broken by her. 

Her father praised her 
for telling the truth but 
also asked her not to fiddle 
with things, 
which she didn't know how to use.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
  ( Mark Caine)

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there todayAs of this second, quit doing less than excellent work.
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.

** The Thirsty Crow **

** Planing **

One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. 
For a long time,,
 he could not find any.
 He felt very weak, almost lost all hope.

 Suddenly, he saw a water jug below the tree. 
He flew straight down to see if there was any water inside.
 Yes, he could see some water inside the jug!

The crow tried to push his head into the jug. 
Sadly, he found that the
 neck of the jug was too narrow. 
Then he tried to push the jug to tilt for the water to flow out but 
the jug was too heavy.

The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking around it, 
he saw some pebbles.
 he suddenly had a good idea....
He started picking up the pebbles one by one, dropping each into the jug. 
As more and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level kept rising. 
Soon it was high enough
for the crow to drink. 
His plan had worked!

Moral,,,,,,,,,

 ** Think and work hard, you may find solution to any problem.**

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's planAnd guess what they have planned for you? Not much.   Jim Rohn
Believe in possibilities. Believe in human potential. Believe in yourself and you’ll have the power to change your fate....
You take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing, no one to blame.

You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.- 

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
 And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. 
If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

*Lazy Donkey*

Bhola owns a donkey called Khandya. Bhola is a very tolerant and kind master. The donkey is lazy and is always finding ways to avoid work.

Once while returning with loads of salt on his back, Khandya falls in the river. He realizes that the fall has lessened the weights of the sacks as the salt has dissolved in the water.

The next few days Khandya purposely falls into the water everyday. Bhola is unhappy at the way Khandya is behaving because he is losing money in the process. He decides to teach Khandya a lesson.

The next day instead of salt bags he loads Khandya with bags of cotton. Khandya is unaware of the change. As planned, he falls into the water and gets the bags wet. He is surprised to find the load unbearable. His otherwise master also starts beating him.

Khandya learns his lesson and starts behaving..

Moral: Work with honesty and sincerity because laziness will ruin you.

In always wanting to be comfortable, you become lazy.  In always wanting perfection, you become angry In always wanting to be rich, you become greedy.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
