Success
Is Indiscriminate to Your age
Your
gender Your ethnicity Your sexuality
Your background Your education Your handicaps
It
waits patiently for you to act.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It’s never too late,
To be the person you want to be
Needless to say, I hear a series of excuses used by thousands of others
before him:
I don’t have the
money …
I cannot
do it at the moment
… I’m too old ….
It’s not the right
time …
Each one can be knocked over in a heart-beat.
But it’s safe for him to hide behind these excuses because it avoids failure
Failure to start is a failure to succeed.
Success is a Conquest; Not a Bequest.
Yet as you go through life you are constantly faced with the duality of success or failure. Whether it’s to paint
the fence, paint
a picture, or adhere to a New Year’s Resolution. You will oscillate between success and failure in whatever you
undertake.
Progress = f(Failure)
Is success a function of education, luck or chance?
Why does one member of the
same family succeed while the other fails? Yet
they both have the same opportunities?
Is there a magic formula, an algorithm
that we can engage to invoke success? I am pleased to say that there is:
Success is a function
of action. Persistent action. I will discuss this in more detail
in the coming chapters of the book.
I am not here to re-invent the wheel.
My task is to introduce you to what is holding you back, and how you can break
free of those chains. I am a great believer of Simplicity and Transparency.
That Success is 1% talent and 99% persistence.
Thomas
Edison
Genius
is more about having imagination than having knowledge.
Albert
Einstein
Nothing in this world
can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not.
Education will not.
The world is full of educated derelicts.
Ray Koc, founder of MacDonald’s
Let’s break that last sentence down:
The Willingness to Make an Effect To Act
upon them.
The willingness to act is dependent on how badly you want your goal. If you are
not willing to act, then you must question the level of desire towards
the goal.
How far you go,
depends on how far you wish to reach.
How badly do you
want your goal?
The focus of this
book is the application of Effort.
- Effort to Dream;
- Effort to Commit;
- Effort to Change;
- Effort to Act;
- Effort to Plan
- Effort to Fail;
- Effort to Progress;
- Effort to Persist;
- Effort to Succeed
Making an effort to
find the magic lamp
