HOW TO WIN 8

ALWAYS DREAM BIG

          All work skills become tedious and dreary. We need to upgrade and update them.

Pessimistic people say  that motivation ever lasts or  ever works. However, the truth is instead of sitting idle, it is best to keep doing something than to, merely condemn it that it does not work. Why not, such individuals try to find something to work. After we have worn clean clothes, they get dirty, after some use, and then sent for either dry-cleaning or washing.

Can we say that washing does not help? It only means that certain tasks have to be, done repeatedly. After you have taken a bath today, it does not mean, that it would hold good for the next one-month or one year.

You have to do it repeatedly; the same is true of motivation. Motivation feelings is discovered instantaneously.

There are certain people who are always sluggard. I had a young man, as my Private Secretary, otherwise fit and fashionable, who always find excuse not to work and tell me that he had finished all the work. It appears that he had tried his hand at a number of jobs, but nobody after trying him for a few days wanted him.

It is a tragic thing, that instead of focusing on doing the best now, some people look for the illusory future. Such people put off living, in the expectation of reaching a magical rose garden, instead of enjoying the blooming roses which are with in their reach now itself. Newton propounded a law that “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” In other words, every action or cause will produce an effect. Both are absolute and undeviating in every circumstance, and under every condition. Our thoughts govern our life and all of our behaviour stems, from the thoughts that preceded them.

So if you want to change your behaviour, then change your thoughts. We cannot change anything in our life without first altering the igniting cause. Any cause begins with our thoughts.

The idea of having to change, makes some people excruciating and distressed. So such people remain, where they are. The choice to change and improve lies with each individual. Though we do not know, what future holds for us, but one thing is certain, that it will not be the same as the present.

Always, dream big, though you may not realize all your dreams. It is a greater misfortune and a catastrophe not to have expectation. Dwight D.Eisenhower rightly said, “There is no victory at bargain basement prices.”
