A Successful Approach in Life

Comparing things is the human nature, we define:

• something as beautiful by knowing something ugly
• something smells good by knowing the bad smell
• something is right by knowing the wrong

Similarly, talking about the success stories without highlighting its failures is worthless.

1. Thomas Edison failed approximately 10,000 times while he was working on the light bulb.
2. Henry Ford was broke at the age of 40.
3. Lee Lacocca was fired by Henry Ford II at the age of 54.
4. Colonel Sanders had knocked on more than a thousand doors before he got his first order.

we should focus on our wants instead of intermediate results that we get and keep a clear vision that is the picture of the future which we want to see. A clear vision provides us following functions:

1. It gives us direction.
2. A vision greatly reduces the risk of realizing the worst case scenarios in life.
3. It helps us in our day to day decision making.
4. It gives us motivation.
5. It helps us fight adversity.
6. If we don’t have a clear vision, we risk becoming the instrument of an undesired vision.
7. It helps us select some of our roles.

“You can and should shape your own future; because if you don’t someone else surely will.” Joel Barker
