Success follows those who recover quickly and take charge of things and situations in their lives.
Challenges of life:
Life has a way of sending us curve balls that can `knock us off our pedestals’ or `out of the ball game’. But don’t let it!
- True leaders consider defeat temporary. They don’t sit around and mope. They dust themselves off and tuck in and do something, anything, straight away, to put things right and back on course.
- They size up the situation. Adjust things and gear up again for success. It may take time and it may not work out as they first planned. But at least they have something in the `pipeline going for them’.
The point is,
Don’t give up on yourself.
I know things can get tough. No one has ever said life would be easy. There is always opposition in all things.
- Opposition or obstacles blocking you way, are just `hiccups’ in the road to success. If you assess them, there is generally is another way to get around them or overcome them.
- If you are determined enough, you will surely find ways to achieve your goals. I learnt that from what my husband said years ago, “Hou cop!” (Afrikaans words for stop and think), “Usually the answer is a simple obvious one,” staring you right in the face!
- Sometimes (most times) the opposition is there for you to learn something from it. If you had got your way straight away, perhaps you may have never learnt important factors, along the way. Things that strengthen the character and improve the superiority of the outcome!
- You may not see it now. But years later, when you look back on your life, you will see how things panned out. And not all of it for your benefit either! Each step had a purpose.
- The result all depended on you picking up and carrying the` ball’ over the finishing line! How you played your part in the scheme of things. And how much you enjoyed the journey through the obstacles!
The game of life is called `Hard Knocks’!
They say, you got to play by the rules. But sometimes you have to bend or by-pass the rules, to make things happen.
- Fastidious traditional protocol can be a pain. It can hold you back, if you let it.
- Today technology is advancing at a very high speed. We have to use a lot of imagination to think and be ahead of what’s happening.
- Successful people got where they are, by making new rules of how to play the game. Rules to suit their agenda and further their specific goals!
- Some may call it `cheating’, but they’re been shrewd. They see a better way to play the game. Step by step they advance, dodging obstacles on the way.
What’s their game?
First they access the situation. I guess they did some research:
- What is actually happening out there?
- What makes a thing sell or trend better than another?
- Why did some inventions work better than others?
- What did the rich do, to get rich? What were their strategies to get them where they are today?
- · What was their attitude? How did they handle and present things?
Now how do we put all that together?
A bit of this and a bit of that, a bit of this rule (theory) and perhaps one of that… and then… Walla! We have a new invention, a new way of doing things. A mixture of old and new facts!
Punchline: Uniqueness of the formula is born through discovering, adjusting and using the vital truths.
the reason why Porcupine have lots of thorns is because they evolved to defend themselves from predators. The same in human life, we evolved because we learned our lessons, people who learned their lesson and evolved they survived, people who didn't learned their lesson die. the faster the development of our environment the faster we change. Look what happened to the wallmart and malls; they never thought about selling stuff online, Amazon has now valued 700 billion bucks selling stuff online with the minimal infrastructure.
I noticed people who see the bigger picture, tend to do better than small minded people. Sweating over small stuff generally makes you scared. But if you boldly think of achieving something, you tend to achieve it in spite of opposition.
really very meaningfull post.you sharing very best post of special day.because today is friday.. its holiday.. acknowledges the way that he is faultless, and can let it be known to himself and to the general population around him. Individuals will regard him much more, since they realize that he is sensible, develop, and very much adjusted. The individuals who continue contending that they are not wrong, notwithstanding when they have been ended up being incorrectly will never grow up or develop. These are individuals to be kept away from.. When we instead focus on the feeling behind the vision, and let go of seeking out the pathway through thinking, we are always flexibel and most creative yet effective in our decision-making. But I think these practical obstacles are very helpful and worth to be experienced. I prefer hardships on the road instead of painstakingly attempting to skirt them!thanks to sharing very qualityfull post in your blog..very well done.. best of luck of your great work and take care yourself obviously... see you again..my dear best friend.. @artguru
People who think they mustn't make mistakes or won't acknowledge that they make mistakes, hold themselves back by their limited thinking. To be flexible and acknowledge our mistakes, we see where we did wrong and thus are able to work out how to fix the problem quickly. The point in this blog is to move on quickly.
yes,friend..you always expressd doing your best and real opinion in your blog.so,i appreciate your post and thought.. i try doing always follow you.because,i know your work rules may very soon in the future success..thanks to sharing for your wonderfull comment and supporting my work always.really you are a good person in the steemit platform.. very well done.take care yourself perfectly.. @artguru
Absolutely true, come backs make the stories of successful people. Picking up and dusting yourself and trying again is a trait that has got many successful people where they are. I believe that's the reason why successful people are few, many people quit along the way, those who try to come back are not willing to adjust accordingly. We all have dreams or have had dreams before and getting to them sometimes seems impossible but it's these dreams that give us a purpose in life, giving up on them makes life sometimes not worth living. We should never think of stopping until we reach where we believe are supposed to reach.
Yip, having a dream or a goal to work towards gives us a purpose in life. The joy of striving for what you want, keeps you alive and active.
"Successful people got where they are, by making new rules of how to play the game. Rules to suit their agenda and further their specific goals". This is so true, a very underrated but factual statement
If you are stuck in a groove of failure, or the same old thing, making new rules helps you adjust and get out of the rut.
Successful people do the same things but in different ways. That's why they are unique.
Their unique way of doing things is what catches people's eye. For example, if an artist has a unique style of painting, his work is quickly acknowledged as special. Those artists who copy other peoples' work and styles are seen as copycats and judged accordingly against the other artist's work.
Accept failure but don't accept not trying. If you REALLY want to do something, failure becomes inevitable. Failure is good for success. Just remember, not to repeat the same mistake again.
With each failure, you grow, learn new and important things and get one step closer to reaching your goals. Each time you fail, your fear of failure becomes smaller which allows you to take on even bigger challenges.
Failure is not bad but not fighting back for your dreams is !!
I sometimes wonder if we ever learn from our mistakes. I often find myself falling for the same old mistake. I suppose it is because it comes in another way or in an unexpected form. It's only when the consequences occur that we realized we were trapped into it all over again!
I wholeheartedly agree!
I always highlight the fact that a vision is more poweful than a thought-made goal.
We cannot really know how our pathway will unfold physically, hence our thoughts have the potential to paralyse us when unexpected hardships hit us. When we instead focus on the feeling behind the vision, and let go of seeking out the pathway through thinking, we are always flexibel and most creative yet effective in our decision-making.
These days theory is most often taught to help others avoid certain "mistakes" in the practical application. But I think these practical obstacles are very helpful and worth to be experienced. I prefer hardships on the road instead of painstakingly attempting to skirt them! ;)
I found I get more creative when faced with hardships. And because of that, I achieve a higher standard of quality and achievement.
Great post ! You are right that success follow them wo recover quickly ....But it's too hard 😑....I liked this line that each step had a purpose ...And all problems makes us strong ...For my study I felt demotivated but by reading your post I have charged ...Thanks ....All obstacles give us a lesson ...I learnt it . Thanks again for sharing 😇
Even I feel frustrated at times. I tell myself, "Patience... this is only a bump in the road. Hang in there and continue to do my thing. If I do that I'm bound to succeed sometime."
Very nice article
You're right! I participated in the sales training program (at work) and there we were taught similar things. That is, you can not accept refusals, you must learn to persuade and defend your position. For many it is quite difficult. Decisiveness plays a key role since it allows you to look at things as a "challenge." That is, indecisive people look at any situation as a problem - and decisive people look at any complicated collation as a "challenge" for themselves.
I liked your message! Thank you
You can pretend you have accepted the refusal for the time been. But change gear how you approach the deal. If you subtly mimic speech and behaviour patterns of the customer you will rope that sale in. Why, because the person feels you understand him, by the way you relate to him. By using the same type of jargon & gestures, you become his instant pal.
I would say thank you hundred times for this post as I needed something like this very desperately.
I totally lost my motivation these days about my studies and needed something to just recharge myself enough to get back there. And yes I would add if you are determined enough, have motivation and confident about your strengths and take advantage of the opportunities you have on time yout will definitely get over the line and reach the dream destination you set your mind for.
Good bless you!
