The Three Smart Cuts to Success...
In life, you need to ask yourself, What is our motivation when you get up from bed? Is it making pots of money??????????
You
got it wrong. Everybody in this life gets what he deserves. Desires, the type of environment
we are raised in, the status of our family, the family in general along
with the school, college and the education that we pick up from our
vocational training and jobs. Most people do not have a targetted goal
setting of the things they would like to accomplish. Without much ado,
take a sheet of paper and write down if time and money were not the
constraint what would you like to do with your life.
Money
should never be the criteria.....as in one's job if one is proficient
and a smart worker....money will take care of itself. Money is the
by-product. The payments that we receive are directly related to the
value we create in the lives of our co-workers and in the company's
bottomline. The company will pay you a lot...if you are able to do
wonders for your employers. The key is to sacrifice our short term
interests for the longer term benefits of our people and the community
at large. A magician recommended this exercise in any payment for the
goods or the service received from fellow human beings, ' Money go intot
his world, remove the suffering all around me, fulfill the people's
desires and return to me a thousand fold'.
So getting down to our smart cuts....
1)
The first smart cut to success is 'Just a Little Bit Extra'. We have
seen how people in jobs work like 'donkeys' and just do not just think
leave alone 'outside the box'. In life you need to bring improvements
and a finishing orientation in your family life and work-place. Small
changes over a period of time bring great improvements. As Ben Graham
the father of investing observed: It is not necessary to do
extraordinary things to get extraordinary results. Put your heart and
soul into everything you do and as Swami Vivekananda said- 'Success will
never elude you'. In life, you got to be prepared to bargain and be
street smart. If you are embarrassed to ask, you will be embarrassed to
receive.
2) The second smart cut to success is 'Increase
Your Failure Rate'. As Napoleon Hill said, ' Behind every adversity or
failure there is an equivalent seed of success or of greater benefit'.
Everything that happens in your life is just the receiving of thoughts,
emotions and letters ( similar to a Postman) of your actions in the
past. We shudder failure in exams and life. The key is to accept Failure and try to learn from all the ills
that plague your life. We would not have improved or the world if it
was not plagued by friction! Thus make a pledge to fail every day of
your life and try to learn. As Charlie Munger put it,' Everyday I learn
something new and grow wiser by the day'. To achieve success faster,
double your rate of failure.
3) The third smart cut to
success is 'Be Different'. Charlie Chaplin cultivated some exceptional
traits of a character and acted the full emotions in his movies. The key
is to always know that Society recognizes the exceptional qualities of
persons like Michael Flatley who taps with his feet and has made
millions in dollars.
Make a pledge to fail more,put a lot
of effort in what you do at home and office.....together with ingenuity
will catapult you to the top of your profession or vocation.
