Powered to Success Chapter 5: By Persistence and Determination

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

The beginning is the most important part of the work. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another! Knowledge is power but knowledge in itself is of no use unless it is directed in the pursuit of a definite goal and a detail plan for the attainment of that goal.

10 Critical Success Clues

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

if you want to predict the future of anyone, including yourself, here are the ten most critical clues that you will need to uncover and clarify:

  1. Attitude:
    There is a winner’s attitude and there is a loser’s attitude. Most people have a mix of the two. A winner’s attitude is characterized by high self-esteem, a positive outlook on life, a general feeling of gratitude, a sense of great personal destiny, a willingness to learn and the will to do what is necessary. Losers have poor self-esteem, a negative (they say realistic) outlook on life, a general feeling of resentment about the trials and tribulations of life, a sense of impending negative fate, a stubbornness about what they ‘know’, and lousy will-power or self-discipline.

  2. Intention:
    As a general rule, things done with intent, produce intended results and things done without specific intent produce unintended results.It is my experience that most people think, say and do most things in life without any conscious and specific intent.I like to ask people (and especially myself) the following clarifying questions: what is your intent in holding that belief?; what is your intent in thinking that way?; what is your intent in doing what you do? Most can’t answer. Winners can.More importantly, winners are always asking themselves, “what is my intended result for this chosen action, thought or way of being?”
