STORY WITH MORAL....116

This is a story of two brothers. One was a drug addict and a drunkard who frequently beat up his family. The other one was a very successful businessman who was respected in society and had a wonderful family. Some people wanted to find out why two brothers from the same parents, brought up in the same environment, could be so different.

The first one was asked, "How come you do what you do? You are a drug addict, a drunk, and you beat your family. What motivates you?" He said, "My father." They asked, "What about your father?" The reply was, "My father was a drug addict, a drunk and he beat his family. What do you expect me to be? That is what I am."

They went to the brother who was doing everything right and asked him the same question. "How come you are doing everything right ? What is your source of motivation?" And guess what he said? "My father. When I was a little boy, I used to see my dad drunk and doing all the wrong things. I made up my mind, that is not what I wanted to be."

Both were deriving their strength and motivation from the same source, but one was using it negatively and the other positively....

SUCCESS MANTRAS

WHEN FAILURE PROVES BENEFICIAL


As we thread on a path to being successful, we don’t realize here's a journey that can make or break you. Too much success, very often is known to make people cocky and arrogant. Failure helps you realize who you are and provides the stepping stone to a lot of future endeavors.

Here are 10 reasons why it’s better to fail at times:

1. Encourages Lateral Thinking
As we all make mistakes it makes great sense to learn from these and look for other possible ways to resolve our situation. Failure encourages us to look for other solutions that we ordinarily would not have thought about had things been somewhat easier.

2. Adds To Your Experience
Failure makes us aware of what needs to be done in order to achieve our objectives. The struggles make success sweet. If we had succeeded immediately without tasting the disappointment associated with failure, we might have not been eager to look out for other opportunities.

3. Builds Character
When you fail, you can do two things; either you throw retreat into your shell or you can learn from the experience. The latter will help you gain confidence, build character and become more the person that you ideally wish to be.

4. Failure Encourages the Strong and Discourages the Weak!
If your determination, will, desire and hunger to succeed are as big as you think then you will consider failure along the path as simple detour. Sometimes it might be hard if you are constantly plagued by failure, but just remember learn as you go, do not repeat the same errors again. This will add to your experience and give you a strong will-power.

5. Makes You Honest with Yourself
Most often failure makes you justify what you do. If you are not able to justify what you are doing, may be you need to rethink what you are doing. You know what you want, so do everything you have to go get it.

6. Makes One More Intangible and Thick-Skinned
Ask yourself do you have what it takes? If you are one of those who easily melt under pressure then you'll probably give up, but as things become clearer with your experience then nothing can touch you. You will begin to develop power from within! All the stuff you cop on the way you'll shake off and become a better person for it.

Becoming thick-skinned is really a by-product of character building with a bit more; it shows the development of the individual and reflects the change in attitude that brings the best.

7. Succeeding Too Quickly May Blind One's Potential
Those who worked hard for a start then followed this up by working smarter to get where they are at today will have a much higher chance of succeeding in the long term than someone who made a couple of right decisions early on but didn't develop due to a lack of exposure to other possible problems etc.

This doesn’t we should all struggle to make a success of what we're doing, but generally speaking those who have had problems, learned from them and have a better chance of developing further simply due to their exposure and experience.

8. Failure Encourages Improvement and Planning
Failing is one thing, but making the same futile mistake repetitively is just plain ridiculous. If this is what’s happening to you, then it probably makes good sense to sit down and re-analyze your approach. Sure it's possible to do this when you've succeeded as well to look when looking to the next task and goal but there's a sense of urgency about this when things aren't going to plan.

9. Failure Reveals Your Weaknesses
Are you someone who passes on all the stuff you don't do very well or would you rather stick at it, making a few errors along the way to eventually master the art? Use failure as a tool to strengthen those areas that are letting you down.

10. Success is the Attitude; Failure is the Lever
Develop a successful attitude and let failure lever and assist you with its strength and power of learning and understanding. Do not allow failure to absorb and destroy your spirit. Gain strength from knowing your desired outcome is one step closer.

There opportunities in abundance, don't take the easy way out and let yourself down because you failed a few times. Remember the saying, ‘Failure is the stepping stone to success.’

MANTRAS....1

 from Napoleon  Hill

A goal is a dream with a deadline.


Action is the real measure of intelligence.


All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.


All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.


Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.


Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.


Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.


Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.


Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.


Don't wait. The time will never be just right.


Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.


Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.


Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.


Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.


Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.


Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.


Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it.


Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes.


If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.


If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.


It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.


Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive.


Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.


Money without brains is always dangerous.


More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.


Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.


Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.


No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.


No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.


One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life.


Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.


Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.


Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.


Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.


Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.


Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.


The battle is all over except the "shouting" when one knows what is wanted and has made up his mind to get it, whatever the price may be.


The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself.


The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.


The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.


The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.


The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.


There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.


There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.


Think and grow rich.


Through some strange and powerful principle of "mental chemistry" which she has never divulged, nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire, "that something" which recognizes no such word as "impossible," and accepts no such reality as failure.


Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.


War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.


We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.


When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.


When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.


Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.


You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for.



You give before you get.


You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.


Your ability to use the principle of autosuggestion will depend, very largely, upon your capacity to concentrate upon a given desire until that desire becomes a burning obsession.


Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.

MOTIVATION.....5

1.    Soldier: Sir we are surrounded from all sides by enemies,
Major: Excellent! We can attack in any direction.

When to Use: This is an excellent two-liner on being positive even in the face of adversity. Sometimes the work or the environment looks very bleak to us and we may not see any hope. We might be tempted to give up. The only way we can turn around the situation is by motivating ourselves to look at some of the positives that could result from the situation. Use this in a Self Development, Personality Development and Motivation session when talking about ‘How to manage self under Adversity or Difficult situation’.

2.    “Nobody can make you feel inferior, without your permission.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

When to Use: Our self esteem is in our hands. If I get affected by what someone says or does; I let myself be controlled by that person. If I don’t get affected, then I remain in control of what I intend to do. Use this quotation in Assertiveness, Managerial Development, Giving and Receiving Feedback, Self Development programs. This message is powerful when talking about ‘How do we handle criticism, challenges and put-downs by others’.

TIME.......5

 1% Better Every Day

The alarm rings and it’s another day. Most of the time we go about it with the same routine; from working out to when you have breakfast, coffee, paper reading time, and commute to the office … you get the picture ... SOSDD (Same Old Stuff Different Day). I am not one for messing with a good routine, but I am one for trying to figure out ways to get better.

The other day I ran across an idea from the CEO of Zappo’s ( The Internet Shoe Store ) who took his company from $0.00 in sales to $1 billion in less than ten years and then sold it to Amazon for over $1.2 billion in 2009. He said that they try to make at least one improvement in their organization every week, but suggests on a personal basis to shoot for some sort of improvement daily. He went on to say, “wake up every day and say to yourself what is the 1% improvement I can do to make myself better both personally and professionally.” 

Now you’re thinking, “Rob, where in the world am I going to find the time to make this 1% improvement goal work ?” … well let me help you with that.

Found   5 minutes -   Streamline you morning routine time to dress, shave, put on makeup,                                                          drink coffee, read the paper, etc., or just get up 5 minutes earlier.

Found   5 minutes -    

Avoid idle talkers, gossiping or other distractions.                    If your conversation is not a constructive one, get out of it.

Found 10 minutes -    Take a shorter lunch or break.

Found 10 minutes -    Eliminate the things you do each morning to stall starting your workday.

(You can probably find 20 minutes per day you waste just surfing around on the internet)

You just found thirty minutes per day you can use to make yourself better. Now that doesn’t sound like much time, so let me put it in a different perspective. By following these 4 simple suggestions 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year, you just gained 3 forty-hour weeks per year. If you watch TV just 30 minutes less per day, you will double it to 6 forty-hour weeks; that is a lot of extra time to work on “you.”

I can think of no better place to put my time than improving myself. Along with helping myself, it will benefit my family, my company and maybe even rub-off on a few of my friends and associates.

Success has a great deal to do with discipline,

so make it a habit to work on “you” just a little bit every day.

COMMITMENT....2

The Power of Commitment

Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:   that the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it now.          

By – Goethe

They don’t write about people who are saying …“I would’ve done that … I could’ve done that … I should’ve done that.”  They write about the people who are doing it. Five hundred millionaires were asked what really caused them to be so successful. Most said, “I finally decided to get serious.” Many of those millionaires also said that they had faced their biggest adversity right before becoming successful … in other words … they hit rock bottom right before they hit their peak.

You don’t want to be a person with

PERMANENT POTENTIAL.

Bring the magic you have in you out where we all can see it.
