TIPS TO SUCCESS

HAVE A DRAM GOAL

There is always heat after cold, winter after summer, day after night and reaping after sowing. It is natural that if you don’t sow, you cannot reap and in the three stages of human life thus: childhood, youth and adulthood, the sowing time is the youthful time because it the time when you still have strength and hot blood to work. Life is too short to be joked with and if you fail to sow in your youthful time, you will become nothing good but a parasite in your old age, and if you have children when your they see the success of your age mates, they will ask you, “where were you and what were you doing when your mates made their success?” this is a very shameful question.

In this book, the kind of sowing I want to talk about is investment. In this life, I have discovered that if you don’t invest, you won’t harvest and before you invest, you must have a vision or goal. Dream and goal are the drivers of human life propelled by determination. Have a goal you want to achieve in life because any human who has no dream or goal that is driving his or her life, has no destination in life and so does not deserve to live but to die and give way to people who are walking towards their destination.

Your dream and goal determines your life pattern. For example, if you have the dream of becoming the president of your country, your life pattern will be political because you are pursuing a political goal. If your dream is to become an accountant, you will see yourself living like an accountant. If your dream is to become a teacher, your life will be geared towards teaching, and if you dream to became a pastor, you will start living like a pastor.

May I say this; your dream is the pathway to your destiny. So what is your dream? Write it down and make it clear. Well, having a dream is not enough; you have to take action now.

TAKE ACTION
Most people have dreams but do not take action that is why you see old people who cannot boat of a tangible achievement, if you have dream but don’t take action, your dream dies. Start working on your dream before it becomes late. The earlier you know that taking action result to either success or failure, the better for you. If your action gives you failure, don’t stop, stand again with courage and forge ahead with determination because success is not the absence of failure but the conquest of failure through persistent effort in the direction of your dream. Before a child stands and walk, the child must have falling so many times, but his ability to stand whenever he falls makes him walk permanently one day. In fact, I have discovered that failure is inevitable, check out the successful people around you; you will discover that they have failed many times but because they refused to be held down by failure, they have counted success. Wise people learn from failure and every failure prepares you to a higher level of success and gives you new experience of life.

Abraham Lincoln failed eleven times in his life, but finally became the president of America and the greatest among all.

In 1831, he failed in business
1832, defeated for legislature
1833, second failure in business
1836, suffered nervous breakdown
1838, defeated for speaker
1840, defeated for elector
1843, defeated for congress
1848, defeated for congress
1855, defeated for senate
1856, defeated for vice president
1858, defeated for senate
1860, elected president of the United State of America.
He persisted in his action and America and the world still stands up for him till tomorrow.

Martin Luther king jnr had the dream of putting a stop to racism, and in the process of pursuing that dream, he was jailed twenty different times but still achieved his dream. Today, blacks enjoy equality with whites, as OBAMA a black, is now the president of AMERICA. It is a dream come true. 

Bear it in mind that “behind every glory, there is a story”

Failure brings you closer to your success.
