Here’s To Failing One Last Time!
“Warren Buffet once said “The more you learn the more you earn” That is so true! All the successful people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Oprah, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk, and any other highly successful person. They are successful because they are lifetime learners.
They are committed to learn new things every single day. Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest humans on the planet is famous for reading for more than 5 hours every single day. Bill Gates reads one book per week. Mark Cuban; 3 hours a day. Oprah well, she’s just obsessed with books. Notice a common theme here? Successful people never stop learning.
Think about this: you have $86400 to spend every single day, but when the day ends, the money disappears. You can’t get it back. Wouldn’t you try to spend all of the money before it withers and disappears? Wouldn’t you try to use it wisely? Use it the best you could? Well, the sad part is that we only have 86400 seconds in a day and most people take this time for granted.
Most people let this precious time disappear without thinking twice. We are never going to get this time back; we must use it to the best of our ability, wisely! we must be productive. We must use our time to do things we want to do. Instead of wasting your time on things that mean nothing, use it to learn new things, new skills to explore the realm of possibilities.
The time you spend playing video games with your friends or partying will never come back, once you use that time it’s gone forever, use your time wisely. Read books, study hard, most people give up on their dreams because it gets too hard.
A lot of students stop chasing their dreams because of one failed test. Matter of fact, most students don’t even try their best, when they take the test because, in their minds, they have already failed the test. They stop believing in themselves and once that belief is killed. The dream is killed. If you have a dream, you have to do everything in your power, to the best of your abilities to make it into reality.
It doesn’t matter how many times you fail a test. Never stop believing in yourself. Life itself is a test, sometimes you will fail, but the only way you can be a failure is if you stop trying. What dream you have, what is your ambition, use all your energy, every ounce of it, to make it into reality. Push yourself to become the person you were destined to become. If you want to get results you never had before, you’re going to have to do things you have never done before!
The wealthiest person in the world, Bill Gates was once asked; which superpower he would like to have? The richest man in the world said, he would want the ability to read books faster. Success is not defined by nor is about monetary wealth, fame, or a big house. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself.
You will fall many times on the road to success, but the most important thing is that you get back up. Get back up stronger and wiser than before, learning from your mistakes. Create a mentality that doesn’t permit you to quit or stop believing.
If you quit on your dream and give up, you will never know how great you could have become. Never doubt yourself, because doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
