“It’s very hard to fail completely if you aim high”
This statement by American computer scientist and internet entrepreneur Larry Page has a deep sense. A high aim requires a high level of effort and hard work. You will work endlessly to achieve your goal. But what if you fail? No, you will not fail completely as you will learn about
your mistakes from this failure and will improve in your next effort. A person who is not ready to fail is really a big fail, he will not succeed in his life.
Your attitude, mindset towards your aim decides what is going to be happened next. A bad attitude is the only disability in life. We should handle our tribulations and issues of life positively in order to succeed.
“None can destroy iron but its own rust can! Likewise none can destroy a person, but its own mindset can”
It was said by Indian entrepreneur, philanthropist and former chairman of Tata Sons, Mr. Ratan Tata in an interview. Mr. Ratan Tata has also said there should be an expectation of happy life instead of rich life to get real and respectful success.
In an interview he stated:
“Don’t educate your children to be rich, educate them to be happy. So that they know value of things, not price tags”
Money is an important thing but there are many values like love, kindness, care, gratitude that weigh more than money. Expectations of person should be low in order to concentrate more on aim. If we keep high expectations they are surely going to hurt when not met. Only dreaming doesn’t guarantee you are going to achieve it. It needs effort, hard work. You need to pursue your dream.
First African-American president of USA, Barrack Obama once stated:
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or time. We are the ones been waiting for change. We are the change that we seek”
Success of a person is determined by how much he has changed the society. If he has not impacted society then he has not achieved any success. We need to put efforts for the change we want in our life and career. It will not come itself.
“Mistakes are normal and human. Make them, accept them, correct them and forget them”
Mexican business magnate and one of the richest persons on earth, Carlos Slim said this to tell what mistakes are. We are human, we have tendency to make mistake. But making mistake is not bad, it will teach us what we should not do. We should admit the mistakes we make and instead of cursing we should find a way to correct that mistake.
Jack Ma, Chinese Internet Mogul and founder of Alibaba Inc. has also said:
“Learn by mistakes of successful people, not from their success story”
For one success, we surely make hundreds of mistakes. If we will look at mistakes of successful people, we are going to learn hundreds of thing but if we see success story it will tell us only one thing.
“You should learn from your competitors but never copy. Copy and you die"- Jack Ma
“There are three kinds of people in world: innovators, imitators and idiots”
Warren Buffet, American Investor
Competitors are best teachers. Learning from them is a good approach but imitating them is equally destructive. It will ruin your efforts and success. Be an innovator, not an imitator or idiot. Your interest defines your aim. Don’t ever impose interest on yourself, just follow your
real interest.
Following quote of Albert Schwitzer, a well known French-German philosopher
and physician clearly approves this point:
“Success is not a key to happiness. Happiness is a key to success. If you love what you do, you will be successful”
If you overcome your fear, then you can take risk. Life is all about ups and down, because a straight line even in ECG means dead.
Challenge is future of life, they will be there to push back you. But you will have to be prepared to face all the hurdles. Success always lies behind the fear which resists you from taking challenges and risks in life.
“Change is nature of life but challenge is future of life. So challenge the changes. Don’t change your challenges”-Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood Celebrity
