Og Mandino, in his work The World's Greatest Mystery defines: Success and the good life are not far, at the end of a rainbow, they are much closer to you. Right in your own neighborhood!
The line between failure and success is generally so thin that we hardly notice when we cross it; It is so thin that we often stand on it and do not know it.
John F. Kennedy said, "Success has many parents, but failure is an orphan."
Many successful people have one thing in common: attitude and character. A character that allows them to set clear goals and attitude to guide their being to achieve them. All of them went through difficulties, difficult moments, triumphs and defeats, but they never stopped looking up, never took their eyes off the horizon of their goals.
Apple's success
Nolan Bushnell, the visionary father of video games and former employer of Steve Jobs, rejected the Apple I, the Apple II and, finally, the opportunity to acquire the Apple company. He was convinced that it was a product with no mass market potential.
IBM executives suffered the same marketing myopia demonstrated by Silicon Valley experts. They had long studied the marketing potential of the personal computer and predicted that all the desktop computing of the future would be subject to the large computers connected to remote terminals.
But Steve Jobs was not affected by the slights, he went ahead with the resolution and vision of a Christopher Columbus looking for a new world to the east, when experts had ruled that the world was flat.
The power and syndrome of personal faith, in the classic style and resolve of innovative geniuses, Steve Jobs and Wozniak, remained in the face of failure. They did not know what the experts knew, so they went where the experts did not dare and suffered a pleasant shock with what they learned. Both were neophytes in business and marketing and consequently did not know enough to guess that refined computers must be sold by the direct sales force. They did not realize a distribution organization was required and therefore did not stop them from not having one.
The "experts" knew that there was a serious risk. They didn't, so they continued. A more knowledgeable couple would probably have capitulated to the giant minds of the Silicon Valley. Young innovators were unaware of their enormous limitations and succeeded despite them. They proceeded to create what Alvin Toffler and George Gilder have called "The Most Important Innovation Ever Since the Times of the Industrial Revolution." The big couple had no tech credentials. They did not have the equivalent of a college education between the two. Traditional executives advised them to get traditional jobs and stop fantasizing. Jobs did not listen and followed his instincts. His vision, faith, will and willingness to take risks created a market that was to reach $ 30 billion in less than five years.
"Step by Step. I can't think of any other way to get things done. " Michael Jordan
He wrote in "My Philosophy of Triumph." Draw short goals and meet them only step by step you can achieve them.
A student who rolls 6 his goal will be to roll 7, then 8, 9, until he reaches 10.
The secret is in believe in yourself.
Thomas Edison. He was expelled three months after entering school, because his teacher considered him an idiot, his mother did not want to tell him that he was expelled for being an idiot, so he told him that he had been expelled because he was a genius and this is what he was He kept repeating to the point that Thomas Edison believed it.
Later he registered 1083 patents, among them, the carbon microphone and the valve (focus). Who would have thought of an idiot? His mother cheated on him and made him believe he was a genius.
Create and visualize the path to success, only you can create the paths of your destiny, wake up every day with the vision of a being of excellence.
Create and surrender to your mission to build the path. Success needs no explanation.
So what happens when we are wrong? I would tell you no matter the success and the error are not opposite. Errors are only the first step, they indicate the need for a new direction or path to follow.
If you are looking to connect a Hit, you first have to know what a strait is, but for that you first have to go up to the batting plate.
Don't be afraid of failure, failure goes hand in hand with success.
Do not falter:
Derby Boston went in search of gold based on his geological knowledge, bought a mountainous terrain in California and through some credits made mining machinery.
After some years, having recovered his investment he decided to give up, he sold his machinery and the land.
In just a few days the new landowner found the world's largest gold beta just a meter from where Derby left the mine.
When things seem darker don't give up you may be a meter from the biggest gold beta of your life.
- Why not? Why not aim for something better, bigger, more important? Why not you? Why not go higher? Why not now?
Success is in your hand, take it, this is your moment.
