Does success have a recipe?
Many times, we hear people talk about having a "recipe for Success" and you just go on wondering (if you were me back then) if success was a dish that needed to be spiced up to taste well. Well, it is a dish as I have come to know since getting into a man and wanting to make a difference.
Successful people are not those who never failed in anything in their lives; they are the men and women who triumphed against all odds to come out remarkably and very well placed too. The fact that a man is successful doesn't mean he has never had to cry for failing.
In one of my posts Failing Big?I quipped that, A collection of successful people in a room will reek more of failures than a room of seriously unsuccessful people because, these successful men and women have failed more times than they can count.
A lay man's recipe for success.
Seeing a man doing well in his field is no fluke and real success is tied to so many hurt and pain. So suffice it to mean that, the recipe for success is more than just wishing for it to happen.
The various factors that will come to play should you strive to be successful in your field are determination, hunger, relearning, doggedness, hard work, enthusiasm, dedication, strength, faith, hope, integrity, love and passion (for chosen field), self worth, courage, perseverance etc and if you can have half of these recipe you will be close to success and far from failure.
Learning to know what is need for work is one first step to achieving a win in life. No one has the complete recipe for success, but with what we have come to know about successful people, they applied these and more and have results to show.
Radical move.
The movers and shakers of our time are radicals and are known to be kinda crazy beyond words. A docile mind will not amount to much because, before he even starts, he will first bring himself down.
You must be radically inclined to succeed if you must have a win. not letting the world ride rough shod on you is one of first steps to being exceptional.
How about you do the below...
- Allow time to take it's place and never try to substitute your work time for play.
- Know when to sleep and when to be awake.
- Choose a time for fun and a time for work.
- Learn the habit of successful people and live it like you own it.
- Fail big when you have to and do it with so much grace it will be fun.
- Pick yourself and the lessons embedded after a fall and run with speed.
- Cry often when it is needed and never leave your heart to stay heavy after every grudge.
- Gather your recipe and make sure you are the chef of your own meal and serve it when hot or cold.
- Learn your field, never stop to learn and relearn and relearn and relearn and relearn and relearn until it sinks.
