Success

I'd like to talk about success this round.

Most of us want to be successful. Many of us, who do not consider ourselves as a sucessful person (yet), are striving to be successful. Well, some who do NOT have the courage to success, will simply kill their dreams and try to be contented (may be by saying "I'm a simple person, I'm happy with what I have now"). I see people who killed their dreams as people who do NOT have courage, people who are afraid of challenges, people with tonne of excuses for NOT performing to their best possible.
My message to these people is: "Wake up, you are not a simple person and you are wasting your life if you do NOT try to give the BEST out of you. Be courageous!"

For those who are like me, trying to give the best out of us, I have few words of caution too: "do NOT be attached with the RESULTs that we are trying to achieve". There is no need to feel disappointed when you did not achieve your results. Pause, relax and try again. Never give up.

That's why it is so important for us to do/work according to our PASSION. When you do what you are passionate about, there is NO such thing called "failure" - you will always be successful, you will always win - because you ENJOY the journey, and the destination becomes secondary. The best scenario of course is to achieve the results we want, but REMEMBER,in reality results are affected NOT ONLY by our own efforts, but also but many EXTERNAL factors that are NOT in our control. When the results are not as what you are expecting, take them as NEW challenges and continue to ENJOY the NEW JOURNEY to success.

So, do NOT define success as "the result", but define it as "the JOURNEY"!


I'd like to close this with a quote from Booker T Washington (1856-1915):

"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles overcome while trying to succeed."



see ya next time :)
