1. The road to success is not straight, there is a curve called failure, a
loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights
called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a
spare called determination, and engine called perseverance,
insurance called faith and a driver called god, you will make it to a
place called success.
2. In spite of all our planning and preparation, unexpected challenges
are certain to arise. The bumps in the road are unavoidable, but you
will never get to your destination if you aren’t willing to drive over
them. The difference between a disaster and triumph lies in whether
or not you are prepared and willing to weather the storm if you are
ready, those bumps will become stepping stories.
3. The key thing to realise is that working harder is not the same as
working smarter. How do you work smarter? You just need to have
the right skills. People want improved circumstances and better life
without an improved self. They want victory without paying the price
of making efforts. It really cannot happen without the other. Any
improvements that have not been generated by improving yourself
are superficial and short-lived. If you want to have a better future you
have to change yourself. Stop worrying about the various challenges
that will come your way. Just believe in yourself and use them as
stepping stories.
4. “Success” is getting whatever you want out of life without violating
the rights of others. It is not an accident. Success is the result of our
attitude and our attitude is a choice. Hence, success is a matter of
choice and not chance.
5. Today success represents a holistic and positive attitude to life.
Attitude is everything. Success is not restricted within some kind of
brick and mortar premises. It assumes the individuality of a complete
act executed with perfection. Material achievements do not define
life. We don't remember sports stars for the products they endorse
but the spirit of achievement they represent. In the abundance of
positive attitude underline the grandeur of a truly rewarding rich life.
6. Success can be measured from two standpoints - the external and
internal. Externally it is the measure of a job well done and
recognition. Internally it is the feeling of achievement and wholeness
derived from the completion of a task for fulfilment of desire.
