success
feeling a lil low-morale lately. i havent had any progress since the last entry stating "i know i will be successful". the time lost has dampen my spirit. so many thoughts going in my mind, a lil here and there, its getting me disoriented. im finding my thoughts contradicting, like im feeling so negative and all, but i know i shouldnt be feeling this way, if i want to be successful. i have everything in my mind, but they are not coming together.the first step to being successful is a positive mindset. the human mind is an extremely powerful tool. i watched a video not too long ago about a man born with no arms (not very good with remembering names but i'll try to find out his name). he started off with.. (not exactly what he said but the content is there)good evening, i'm (his name). you must be wondering what is this man doing up here with no arms, hands and 10 fingers sticking out of his sleeve. i can see from your faces that you have a lot of questions going on in your mind. lets get a lil comfortable with each other here. i was told of a story about a man with no hands, who needed a job. so he went into a church and ask the pastor for a job. the pastor said, "i really dont have any jobs now, except someone to ring the bell but you cant do it with no hands." the man replied "at least let me try, i really need the money" so the man went to the bell, looked at the rope hanging down, he couldnt possibly get it without his arms. but he gets an idea! he ran as fast as he could and hit the bell with his face. the bell went "gong, gong, gong" but the man passed out and fell to the ground. passer-bys were like "who is this man and what is he doing?" they asked the pastor and he replied "i dont know but his face does ring a bell." okie. its lame but i think its good to laugh. you can ask me questions but my answer is bascially the same, i use my feet to do what you, sometimes have problem doing with your own 2 hands. the human mind is a very powerful tool..
then he went on to open a can drink with his feet and pour it into a cup. he held up the handle of the cup with his toes, "cheers!" he said and he brought the cup to his mouth and drank from it. the audience applause and he said "i like it when my audience give me a hand".
-the end-
a question to think about: how does a baby learn to walk? (quoted from robert kyosaki "secrets of the rich")i think i think im trying but in actual fact, im not. at least not hard enough. i know it requires alot of time and effort, but.. then the different sides of me would start to battle against each other.angel: you're not trying!
devil: you HAVE tried to try. furthermore, you've no time.angel: no time? hah! its just an excuse. a lame excuse.devil: you work mondays to fridays. saturdays and sundays are for resting and relaxing. for your family, friends and the bf. not to mention, the mountain of to-do-task that are still undone.angel: you're just plain lazy. too lazy to get your butt up and start doing what you have to do. blame it on who that your tasks are increasing?
me: *guiltydevil: what is wrong with being in your comfort zone and being lazy, if you think you're happy. anyway, most singaporeans are just like you, in their comfort zone. whats the big deal?!
angel: do you want to be successful? are you looking at the bigger picture? success doesnt drop from the sky. you have to work hard for it. stop envying others, it doesnt help! and it only dampens your morale. you wouldnt be more successful by looking at others who are successful, if you refused to move that lazy butt of yours.me: why can people do it? but i cant.
devil: if you cant do it, why force yourself?angel: you cant or you dont want to? *scream* its high time you change that lazy mindset of yours, set your goals and targets and try to achieve it!!! remember success only comes about through hard work, perseverance and determination. and stop finding excuses!
me: *scared, nods head*so, after a long battle, the angel gets the upper hand. *cheers*okie. im just being lame. but sometimes, i really contradict myself. keong says dont envy people's results. work hard and achieve it.i need someone to guide me and push me.. GOD, help me! /=answer: when babies learn to walk, they will fall down but they will stand up and walk again, falls down again and stand up, repetitively until they learn to walk. have you seen a baby who falls down and tell himself/herself i'm a failure and i give up. morale of story - to be successful, never give up!a quote from a successful man: Repetition is the mother of success
