Success Through Hard Work

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

To date, I am not sure how many friends came to me and complaint to me about their working life at their work place, about their bosses, about their colleges, about their life how bad it is right now. Immediately, I asked them just one question :”So what are you going to do to fix that problem at your work?” About half of them continue to complaint to me further without providing any solutions, the other half have simply no idea how to fix or break the vicious cycle. Many time over, most of the people on planet earth wanted a lot of things that they wanted but to get there, they need to put in more hard work and effort, most of the them either didn’t ever start or give up half way.

It is because of that, I realised that being successful is not easy, it’s really not an easy task. Working adults like us for sure knows how tired are we after our work and went home, have a good shower and dinner, spend time with our family and went to sleep. The very next day, things repeat itself. In order to be successful, one have to work harder than that, planning and taking actions creating a side income for themselves instead of just rumbling, complaining about life. Some of the more motivated ones, will tell me, ok they will not give up, they will do this and that, they are fired up and ready to work harder but the moment they go back to their work, things fall back into where it is just like nothing had changed at all. This is life and to be frank, it is the fact of life to be exact. Now then I realised that successful and rich people deserved where they are right now, what they had achieved, what is the lifestyle they are having now just because of the fact that they had already put in the effort many and most of the people can’t do or do not have the will power to keep going. Right here, right now, you really need to ask yourself one question, just one :”How determined you are to want to achieve successful in your life.?”

“Do what the most can’t do now and you will achieve and enjoy what most can’t have later”

Warren Buffett Success MBA Talk Part 1 to Part 3

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I had been watching Warren Buffett’s video clips on youtube and there is one series that I particularly like which is the Warren Buffett MBA Talk. There are 10 parts to it and they were ware amazing. I will be linking those videos here below later at the later part of this blog post. I would just like to share with you what I had learnt from those video clips.

Many people misunderstood the meaning of being successful and that money is evil. Let me tell you this, money is not evil, it is what it is in the beholder’s eyes. If you wanted to make lots of money to do good things then money is good thing but if you are using money to do bad things then money is a bad thing to have for you. One important point that Warren Buffett bring out is, imagine you have 100 million dollars right now, does it have any impact on your life? Most likely some will say yes and some will say no, for a start from the time of having this 100 million dollars, it will change your life to a whole different level at first, then it will more or less settle down. Now, if the following year, from the 100 million dollars, lets say you invested in some business or stocks and your return on investment (ROI) turns out to be 10 million dollars worth and now you 110 million dollars, what changes does it have in your life? Let’s say for a matter of fact, you have another 20 million dollars earned and now you have 130 million dollars, what changes or differences does it have in your life? Properly now most people will say it doesn’t matters at all.

Now I would like to ask you, in the process of being successful or becoming a millionaire or whatever you want to call it, what do you gain beside money? Take a moment in time answer this question to yourself truthfully. if you were to ask me that question, I will answer you this :” It is the person you become in the process.” Now you are a millionaire and became a powerful man on earth, the thing is so what right? What matters most is you had became someone stronger mentally and even physically with a never give up, never say die attitude towards your dreams and goals, now that’s what I called true success! Hope you had learnt something from this post and hope it will help you in your life and take control of it.

As promise, below are the youtube videos for part 1 to part 3. You can view it here or watch it on youtube directly. You are able to find the other parts of the series,until part 10 on youtube.com. Enjoy the series!
