This article may be hurtful to you, so if you think you can handle it, read about it and feel about it. As a friend, no point for me to say sweet things to you, bring you round the bush. If I’m doing this, it makes no sense to you and in fact, I’m killing you softly. Hence, I choose to be straight forward. I do this is pointing out the fact, and most of you all know, fact is always true and it’s always cruel.
Many friends of mine is seeking ways to create something out of their usual life, not because they are adventurous, simply because they realize if they shall keep on the way they used to, they shall have no change in their life. So many type of business is available in the market, so many field we can actually involving, however, 1st thing 1st that comes into our mind…Am I suitable for it? Shall I go for that opportunity?
Simple, how can we know is it the one for us? Find out about it! After find out, you may say you are not suitable for it, or you don’t even like it; ask yourself… You like your work which you need to spend your time from 9am to 6pm daily? You have freedom where by you have 2 choices, either you get to work on time, or you get to work earlier! And most of all, repeat the same thing daily. Is this the one you like? Moreover, we might need to do something that we do not like at all for the sake of earning a sum of money which is just merely enough to survive, not to live our life. Even if you are doing the thing that you like, does it really earns you a chance to live your life exactly the way you want to? Think about it
After you figure out an opportunity, which enable you to earn wealth, wealthy that means freedom of time and financial aspect, how much you appreciate it? I realize some real fact that happened to my friends. They doing so well in their business, and it’s expending, however, they stop it. The business has earned them fancy car and outstanding pay which is even higher than managerial level of pay in giant international companies, but they quitted. I was so curious: Why would they stop it?
They stop it due to misunderstanding between business partners. Communication breakdown will always happen no matter in business or personal; this is undeniable. However, the way we handle concludes the outcome. If we shall separate business and personal clearly, we shall never mess up our life and our business. As my friends, they stop simply because of a small misunderstanding of personal matter, this is totally worthless. Imagine this, you’re leaving a business which has already stabilized your life, earning you a fancy car, and huge income, and it can be more than that if you shall continue putting in it. Do you think its worth to do so? You lost all for 1 small misunderstand which can be settle down nicely; you think its worth to do so? This is concerning your mindset and attitude. Change a point view, cool down and reflecting about it, find ways to solve it; even it’s a problem, isn’t it a good way? We manage well our behavior and mindset; we can break through any difficulties and move on smoothly, isn’t it good? Life is business; business is life, what we choose determine what we get. When we choose to do something, we earn our self a good life, same thing as well when we quit, we got nothing with us. Thinking of a choice is a small difference, but the decision makes a huge difference.
There is one option which is always available in human mindset – Give Up.
But once you choose this option, you are shutting down your way to move forward. Personally, I’d advise THINK properly:
You giving up your business for issues that you can ever control? Such as economic issue, politic issue.
Or you are giving up because you FEEL like you got no other choice?
This is depends on our behavior and thinking.
Any business at all, there will be difficulties; any business at all, there will be peoples who success, and failed as well.
Peoples who success, they will shared their experience, however, those who failed, they will tell the reason why they failed
I like this quoted, “We find ways to achieve success, not find ways to explain WHY failed.”
5% of peoples in this world are wealthy, while 95% of peoples are not wealthy; there is a small difference between these 2 groups of people.
The 95% know “HOW” to do things
The 5% know “WHY” they do things
The 95% know HOW to do their work or job to hold their position in the company, if they are not satisfied with salary, they can always hoop from a company to another, for better pay. But they do not really realize WHY they shall do it; they just know they do it for the fix salary (or disposable salary) that they going to get on every end of the month.
The 5% know WHY doing the thing that they do. The reason doing it is the strong drive force for them to strive forward. For them, they have a very strong determine mindset – DO or DIE. That’s why they give the very best shot in things they do, and that’s the reason why they hold still and give the best fight for everything, instead of just expecting for next. NEXT will never stop, just like tomorrow never die, tomorrow will keep coming, but how many of “tomorrow” you would like to spend?
If our mindset is sharp, we are clear with what we doing and why we would doing it, no matter how hard the difficulties,
If we know WHY we doing it, we shall always find ways to break through the difficulties, and to be outstanding, we shall find all ways creatively to make things happen.
Many situations that would make our spirit down and slow down our move; if we choose Give Up, we are totally OFF!
How about we choose to welcome it? Face it, tackle why the problem happened and figure out how to solve the problem? So that we’ll have a peace of mind and move on smoothly; isn’t it better than we frustrated, complaining why this happened why that happened?
Again, it’s just a twist and turn of mindset thinking.
In Chinese, there is an old quoted: “Conditions Create Hero”
Look at the condition we have now, what’s the wave moving on, grab the opportunity, from zero, and make our self to be a Hero
1980s, Warren Buffets seize the opportunity, make investment wisely in stock market with his perspective vision, today, he’s in top-10 richest man ranking in the world
1990s, Bill Gate capture the opportunity by putting effort in PC and Internet, today, he become one of a hero in top-10 richest man ranking in the world
In Chinese, there is also another old quoted: “Hero Creates Conditions”
How many people have created great fortune by doing investment in stock market? And how many peoples have created great wealth by involving in PC and internet?
We can never say we don’t know, this is the thing that happening around us. We know it, and our next generation will certainly acknowledge it as well.
One fine day, our son, grandson, even great-grand son might ask us about it, by that time, only 2 answers us can give
Either you can answer proudly:
“Yes, I grabbed the opportunity and made the very best out of it, that’s why I achieved success.”
Or you can answer sadly
“No, I didn’t grab the opportunity, that’s why I end up what I am today.”
Do it, or not to do it, YOU CHOOSE IT
