Everyone has two nature one who cultivates and concentrates on decides, and others pull us back. The will alone will decide by one supreme effort which may change the whole career and accomplish miracles. It is our choice whether we allow self to control us or we will be controlled by the brute within us. The man himself is the director of his life if he wills to be.
We are like putty completely controlled by our will power. The Habit is a matter of acquirement. A person can break a habit just the moment he masters the "I will".
I lost my opportunity, says one. But by our will, we can find a way to bring us another opportunity. It is not true in saying that opportunity knocks our door. The fact is, the opportunity never seeks us; we must seek it.
In this day one man thinks " I will do it, " but while he procrastinates the other goes ahead and does the work. The both have the same opportunity. The one will complain of his lost chance. But it should teach him a lesson, and it will if he is seeking the path that leads to success.
Many persons read good books, but they complain that they do not get much good out of them. They do not realize that the lessons courses can do is to awaken them to their possibilities to stimulate them to use their will power.
" You can lead him to the fountain, but you can't make him drink."
One of the good practice is that of looking for the good in everyone and everything. We encourage a person by seeing his good qualities and we also help ourselves by looking for them. We gain their good wishes, a most valuable asset sometimes. We get back what we give out. So form the habit of encouraging others, and you will find it a wonderful tonic for both those encouraged and yourself, for you will get back encouraging and uplifting thoughts.
Life furnishes us the opportunity to improve. The first of each month, we should sit down and check the progress made by us. If we did not come up to "expectations", we should discover the reason, and by extra exertion measure up to what is demanded next time.
Most things are possible, ours may be a hard task, but the harder the task, the greater the reward, for anything requires only a small effort, and yields a greater achievement. Hence do not shrink of a hard task.
The first essential quality for success is the desire to do. The next thing is to learn how to do it; the next to carry it into execution.
The man the wants to be successful must be liberal, broad-minded, must acquire all the knowledge that he can, must be well posted not only in one branch of his business but in every part of it. Such a man achieves success.
The secret of success is to try always to improve yourself no matter where you are or what your position.
The man who don't see how little he can do, but how much he can do is always be in demand. The firms never let such man leave their employment.
The man that reaches the top is the gritty, plucky, hard worker and never the timid,uncertain, slow worker.
An untired man is put in a position of responsibility and power. The man that is chosen at the crucial time is not usually a genius; he does not possess any more talent than others, but he has learned that result can only be produced by untiring concentrated effort. He knows that the only way they will happen is by sticking to a proposition and seeing it through. That is the only secret of why some succeed, and others fail.
The successful man gets used to seeing things accomplished and always feels sure of success. The man that is a failure gets used to seeing failure, expects it and attracts it to him.
With the right kind of training, every man could be a success. When a man loses his grip today, he must win his redemption by his own will. He will get little encouragement or advice of an inspiring nature. He must regain the right road alone. He must stop wasting his energies and turn his attention to building a useful career. Just take a long big brace, make firm resolutions, and resolve to conquer your weakness and vices.
Will power is a better asset than money; Will will carry us over chasms of failure. Think of the hardships many of our inventors had gone through before they became a success.
Everyone wants to do something, but there are few that will put forward the needed effort to make the necessary sacrifice to secure it. There is only one way to accomplish anything, and that is to go ahead and do it. A man may accomplish almost anything today, it he just sets his heart on doing it and lets nothing interfere with his progress.
Obstacles are quickly overcome by the man that sets out to accomplish his heart's desire. The "bigger" the man, the smaller the obstacle appears. The "smaller" the man the greater the obstacle appears. Always look at the advantage you gain by overcoming obstacles, and it will give you the needed courage for their conquest.
Do not expect that we will always have easy sailing. Parts of our journey are likely to be rough, keep on with the journey. Never sit down and complain of the rough places, but think how nice the pleasant stretches were. View with delight the smooth plains that are in front of you. Do not let a setback stop you. Think of it as a mere incident that has to be overcome before you can reach your goal.
