Goal Setting
People look up to successful people as their models for success. Hence psychologists, counselors, managers, writers, and successful leaders write self-help guides for success. Books come up with various disciplines tested from research, authentic experiences in life and surveys. How can one attain his goals in life? How about that peeping curiosity about power?
The good (and some ill thoughts) of leaders and powerful men and women who conquered nations, and history are available on the shelves. Heroes, presidents, and taipans, among others, uncover secrets how they lived their moments in history.
Here are excerpts from success oriented books:
1. The Greatest Secret in the World
Author: Og Mandino
“Scroll 1 – Today I will begin a new life.
Scroll 3 - I will persist until I succeed.
Scroll 5 – I will live this day as if it is my last.
Scroll 9 – I will act now.”
2.Treasury of Courage and Confidence
Editor: Norman Vincent Peale
“I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proof I see of this truth – that God governs the affairs of men.” Benjamin Franklin
“ He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.” Ali Ben Abu Talib
3.The Secret of Success
Author: James Allen
“You must daily practice the habit of putting your mind at rest, going into the silence, as it is commonly called. This is a method of replacing a troubled thought with one of peace, a thought of weakness with one of strength.”
4.The Official Guide to Success
Author: Tom Hopkins
“Keep your boat afloat. Talk to positive people more. Talk to negative people less. Keep pumping…”
Watch Your Score
You have to appraise yourself, but never put yourself down. Be generous with praise to others, especially when they did something helpful. Remember to say “Thank you” as an act of humility. If so, others will do the same and everyone will create a happy environment of pulling up each other.
Don’t swither too long. Accept as fate throws “This too shall pass.” List your “Things To Do” everyday, as in having schedules. Check what you have accomplished, then thank God for the grace of getting things done.
You will never score zero.
Even if you come to be sick - you will still visit a doctor, take your medicines, and pray in your bed. Even if you’re just in the house – you will still clean, cook, and say “Good morning” to those you meet or your cat. Even if you’re working too hard everyday – you have done well for eight hours of working and have got to earn for that day.
Life is a bunch of roses. It is beautiful.
