Has it happened to you that you are reading a book or a magazine and you see phrases that you would like to keep always?
Has it happened to you that you can apply those phrases to your life?
What can help you move forward with your life and learning as a human being?
It has happened to me and for that reason, I want to share with you some phrases that I have applied to my life.
So let's start with our famous…
First sentence celebrate:
"People who say it can't be done shouldn't interrupt those who are doing it" - Thomas Alva Edison.
Imagine being told at 7 years old: "You are expelled from school for being late."
How reactionary? What would you do?
This happened to Edison, and his education took place at home and it was his mother.
Edison was BRILLIANT in all the word and in all the extension.
Among his more than a thousand inventions are: the recorder, the phonograph, the automatic telegraph, and for which the whole world radically changed his life: he was the one who invented the electric light bulb.
Do you know how many times he tried until he did it? Over 1,000 times !!
So then, when you are developing an activity or leave you a job, you can make one of two decisions:
Do the activity or complain and do it anyway.
In times when things seem like they can't be done, try to change your perspective by moving sideways.
Maybe you can ask yourself: If I were my boss, my father, my mother, my older brother, my spouse (who entrusted you with the activity), how would I see or resolve this situation?
You will be amazed at the different responses that will come out automatically.
What thing or situation do you want to change?
Second sentence celebrate:
"Luck is the pretext of the unsuccessful" - Pablo Neruda
Let's talk about Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto.
Does it sound familiar? Do you know it?
Maybe not, what if I tell you then: Let's talk about Pablo Neruda.
Then you will tell me: "I do know him", since he is the same person, in 1921 he took Pablo Neruda as his pseudonym and since then what he did was to be SUCCESSFUL.
Our poet says that one is the architect of his own destiny, do you agree with him?
When we say goodbye to someone who is going to take an exam at school, is going to do a job interview, is going to ask for a promotion, what do you say to them?
Normally you would say "Good luck", right?
From my point of view, “LUCK” does not exist, for me a viable option is SUCCESS, given through our actions and efforts.
Maybe when a colleague gets an excellent promotion or makes a big sale, you say: What luck!
And you will be doing less, all the effort behind that "LUCK".
Will you wish yourself luck or SUCCESS?
Third sentence celebrate:
"Ninety percent of success is simply about insisting" - Woody Allen.
There is a film by this director and actor, among other activities, that in his time made history, the title in Spanish is "Everything you always wanted to know about sex but never dared to ask."
Many things emerge from that film:
• A fairly long title;
• A title that catches your attention a lot;
• Maybe it also arouses some curiosity;
• Weird and very nice scenes;
• Woody Allen taking off as director.
4 years after filming his debut film; in 1972 she wrote, digested and acted in this great classic.
Woody Allen demonstrated his ability to work with large, star-studded casts; facet that continues to date.
He has insisted again and again on different genres, with different groups of stars, has made short films, feature films, theater, endless activities.
For these reasons, what you should also do is insist and insist until you succeed.
What action do you want to insist on in your life?
Fourth sentence celebrates:
"Things don't change: we change ourselves" - Henry David Thoreau.
This American philosopher was known for opposing slavery in the United States in the 1850s.
He locates the time in that country, very difficult: war against Mexico, slaves, injustices, taxes, the law of the fittest, among many other situations.
Among his thinking was: "To change the country, we must first change ourselves."
If what you are waiting for is that everything fits around you, I have bad news for you:
The BAD: that will not happen;
THE GOOD: That will not happen.
I explain:
It is bad news because the world around us is not going to change, things and situations will continue to occur as they always have.
It is good news because the different situations where you are, will allow you to create new alternatives to achieve YOUR CHANGE.
To where you want to go?
