10 Misunderstandings about Success
Misunderstanding 1
Some people can not succeed because of background, education, and others.
In fact, every person can achieve success. It's just how they want it, then do something to achieve it.
=> Some examples of this: Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison did not finish elemental school, just second grade, and we all know what they did. Bill Gates did not finish University.
Misunderstanding 2
People who succeed do not make mistakes.
In fact, successful people that just made a mistake as we all do. However, they did not make this mistake twice.
=> That is the problem with formal education, they punish us because of making mistakes and at last we learn to be afraid of making mistakes. There isn't any problem making mistakes, the problem is not learning from our mistakes and stay freezed when we make them. Just take a cat as an example: if a cat goes after a mouse and for some reason the mouse escape, the cat does not stay there complaining; it jusst goes after another mouse.
Misunderstanding 3
To be successful, we must work more than 60 hours (70.80, 90 ...) a week.
In fact, the problem is not with the length of your work. But how you can do something right.
Misunderstanding 4
You can only succeed when playing anything with the rules.
In fact, who makes the rules? Every situation requires a different way. Sometimes we have to follow the rules, but while the other is you who makes the rules. If we have to follow some rules, we better know the rules of the game, that gives us more tools to use so that we can gain the game
Misunderstanding 5
If you always ask for help, you do not succeed.
In fact, success rarely happens in times of vacuum. Instead, by recognizing and appreciating the help of others can help your success. And, in fact there are many such people. If we ask for help, we can take advangtage from other people's mistakes. This can save us a lot of time and money.
Misunderstanding 6
It takes a lot of luck to succeed.
In fact, it only takes a bit of luck. However, it takes a lot of hard work, intelligence, knowledge, and implementation.
Misunderstanding 7
Success is when you get a lot of money.
In fact, money is only one of the many benefits provided by the success. Money was not a guarantee of your success.
Misunderstanding 8
Success is when all people admit.
In fact, you may be able to reach more people and recognition from others for what you do. However, even if you only know yourself, you are still successful. We shouldn't base our success on the opinion of others. Everyone has their own definition of success. As long as we feel good and happy with what we are doing, it should be enough.
Misunderstanding 9
Success is the goal.
Yet, success is more than you can achieve your objectives and goals. Say that you want success, then ask the question "for what?"
Misunderstanding 10
I succeed when my trouble ended.
In fact, you may succeed, but you are not God. You still have to go through up and down the road as you're experiencing a period-the past. Just enjoy what you have achieved and live each day as it is.
