Achievers Secret
All are
having only 24 hours of time in a day, why some are getting success and others
are not?
There is a
thin line difference in time investment and looking things. If you understand
that, you will be part of the achievers group. Please read this article till
the end to know the secret of it.
Since
childhood we have known one thing that is; hard work brings success. It's not
true, only work will not bring success. There are other factors involved.
To cook
one curry! You need vegetables. You can't call vegetables itself as a curry. It
requires spices, grains, chilly, coriander, curry leaves, salt, water, fire and
so on. Now consider hard work in place of vegetables, salt in place of time
management, self-discipline in place of chilly, water in place of
communication, curry leaves in place of innovation, and spices in place of fire
and so on.
If you
cook curry without salt or chilly or any one main ingredient, it may not be
100%. It will satisfy your hunger and may not be delicious or healthy or
complete. Similarly doing your work alone wouldn't bring success to you. Curry
without curry leaves may not give that fragrance or attraction. To get success
in any field, he/she must be an all-rounder.
You may
have feelings like; I'm poor in communication or other things, but I'm very
good at working. Is that enough to get success? No, you must work on the areas
to improve where you are weak at.
Sachin
Tendulkar served decades in cricket not because he is a best batsman. He served
as a bowler, fielder, captain, and many roles. In fact, he brought victory to
Indian cricket team by his best bowling and fielding’s also. You may say I'm
not a Sachin Tendulkar, he is lucky. Remember, luck will never come and help
you, it comes after your victory.
How will
your problems help you?
Let me
give my own examples. In my childhood I was a very shy person and used to be
afraid to speak with others and strangers. Now I'm giving motivational sessions
to the masses. During my studies I was very weak in computer programming
language and used to mug up programs. Now I am able to build framework and
suggest solutions or algorithms to the software products.
After my
studies, I was struggling to get the job in software industry. Now I'm helping
100s of students to get job in IT/Corporate industry. I was suffering from
frequent health issues like, ulcers, throat infection, cough and so on, now I
am became health coach, helping many and cured chronic illnesses. I started
business and failed heavily, now I'm doing business mentor job. I got many
personal and professional issues in my life, now I become a life coach.
Why I have
mentioned those many things about me, just to let you know, once upon a time; I
was poor/weak in many areas. Now I have become a master in those areas. Reason:
instead of thinking about my problems, I focused only on solutions and
considered every problem as an opportunity and learning experience.
All my
weaknesses or problems helped me to grow bigger and wiser. Every problem and
disturbance made me put lots of efforts into learning and understanding more in
that field. Now, my attitude towards problems is different. I welcome them with
red carpet and with full heart, those are the only options for us to enhance
our capacity, knowledge, and strength in our life.
How to
become a master on one subject?
You have
great potential to acquire any new skill or knowledge, this requires your
planned efforts. Here is what Swami Vivekananda said about it: Take
up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on
that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of
that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is a way to
success.
If you are
following the above guidelines as suggested; you can be a master on the subject
which you want to be.
How to
invest time in a meaningful way?
Above is
the pictorial representation of the Circle of control and Circle of concerns.
Choice is yours, in choosing which circle to ignore. If you invest a few hours
every day in watching TV and other things which are in the outer circle, it
directly affects your inner circle development. So, invest most of your
time on the inner circle than the outer circle. Circle of concerns are not in
your control, if you spend thinking or speaking 3 to 4 hours every day about
“Circle of concerns” it simply wastes your time. If you invest the same 3 to 4
hours on “Circle of control” it takes you to the next level in your chosen
field.
What is
self-ignorance? In my opinion it is ignoring the inner circle and
thinking or investing time on the outer circle. Be conscious of your time
investment.
