How to Succeed and How Not to Fail
You’ve heard it said that, “Everything happens for a reason”.
That is true. There is a reason for everything, including success and failure.
There are reasons why a person fails. The reasons are usually a combination of the following:
Let us say a few words on each.
Making only a half-hearted attempt because they did not really expect to succeed.
Many people don’t really expect to succeed.
They don’t expect to succeed because, in the past they have not succeeded.
They use the past to justify their belief that their chances this time are not good, and they have the horrible feeling that they are probably wasting their time trying.
As a result of this belief that they “are onto a loser“, they only put in 75% effort.
Because they don’t give it their full 100% effort, they are beaten by a person who did.
They lose again, and next time around they are even more sure of a bad result; so, they invest only 73% effort, and consequently, are beaten again by a competitor who did give it 100%.
Many people put in half-hearted attempts and then, wonder why they never win.
The solution to the problem of lack of 100% effort, is “Give it 100% effort”.
