My design of Success

This is a pencil holder which I designed and materialised just not long ago in my design classes. I name this workpiece as my design of Success. This is a simple and yet functional piece of work.

To me, Success means simplicity. We live in a world of complexity where things can be made simple. Sometimes, things can be resolved simply but a twist in an event can complicate the whole process. Indeed, we have no control over the complexity of certain issues but we have ulitmate control over our mind.

My favourite Quotes

I enjoy reading quotes from others. I find it very inspiring and motivating. Let me share some of my favourite quotes.

(1) "No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful or greedy - unless you let him" - Napoleon Hill

(2) "Loss or Gain, Joy or Pain, Success or Defeat, Life or Death, The choice is yours!" - Chad Czerneski

(3) "If you are willing to do only what's easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what's hard, life will be easy" - Dug Mcguirk

(4) "Great people talk about ideas; Average people talk about things; small people talk about each other." - Anonymous

(6) "When you are born, you cry and others rejoice. Live your life so that when you die, others cry, and you rejoice" - Harry Chase

I hope that you will be inspired by these quotes. Starting from today, be the master of your life and control your destiny. Do not fall into victim of others and allow their behaviour and action to control your life. You have the right to choose what you want and desire. Eventually, the decision lies with you and no one has the right to alter it. Act, think and feel like great person and believe that you can make it big and create a difference in others. Live your life to fullest. Success lies within you, it is your responsibility to uncover the success that lies dormant in you.

Do you how fortunate you are?

I spent the whole morning and afternoon finishing up my assignment. It is contradicting that a self-proclaimed motivated individual has difficulty in writing a 2000 words essay on motivation. While I was racking my brain on my assignment, I was also surfing the net. Out of sudden, somtething flashed to my mind. I remember I attended a free seminar by Adam Khoo some months back and he mentioned a lady who had stroke in 2000 after conceived her third child. She lost her memory and ability to work. She brushed shoulder with god of death, went into desolation and depression. At the point of time, what she had gone through was something that we are not able to understand and feel. The state of helplessness and hopelessness she was in could mean an end for many people. With the support from her family and friends, her health blooms back to what she used to be before her stroke. To others, it may be a miracle but it is her determination to overcome the adversity, her strong desire and belief that she will recover plus the unconditional love, support and encouragement from her family that nurse her back to health. Coming to think of myself, I am so fortunate and yet I have been taking things which are unreachable to some for granted. Be contented with what you have now but constantly seek for improvements.

The three essential factors to success

Yesterday, I attended Stephen Pierce 's training workshop in Singapore. I am truly intrigued by his inspiring and light-hearted talk throughout the 2 hours event. He mentioned about Success and how to achieve high degree of success for anyone. It can be attained by anyone anywhere as long as you posses these three traits. The first one is to focus on the right thing. Focusing is a high level control of mindstate and it is a skill which many are still lacking of. Most of us have a short span of focus and we easily lose focus to unpleasant events and failures. To make matter worse, some tend to focus on the wrong things leading to spiral of failures in the future. Therefore, focusing right is pertinent to one's success. Secondly, a successful individual is a consistent person. Consistency means doing the same thing repeatedly while producing the desirable and better result each time you perform the same act. However, doing the same thing over and over again without progress is undersirable and should be put to a halt. Again, you won't expect a person to achieve a firm toned body by visiting a gym once. Finally, we know that a patient person will reap his rewards one fine day if he is focused and consistent with the right task. Patience begets success.

Here, I want to share some of his inspiring speeches he made.
(1) "Things change while uncomfortable is still possible."
(2) "Every single day is a choice."
(3) "Have the ability to see what you can create from a situation."
(4) "Always look for a new perspective."

We can see and feel changes around us everyday. A change culminates to a choice that we must make. And a choice that we make from a change leads to a new situation. It can be a good or bad situation we are in. What differs from a successful person to anyone is that he/she has the ability to look for a new perspective and the ability to create from that situation. So what is stopping you to making a right choice for success?

Making choices in our life

Like it or not, we are always making choices in our life. In the past, I tend to pick on choices that are risk-free and easily achievable within my means. It aslo means that I will be forever stuck in the same position if I continue to remain status quo on the choices that I make. I began to realise that why some people are achieving success while I am not able to. Success people pick on challenging tasks while the mediocres settle on simple tasks. In order to succeed, I have to change my mindset on the selection of choices. I have made my choice not long ago to venture into a niche business which I was skeptical in the past. Skeptism came from the collation of negative feedbacks of others and unknowingly, I chose to be controlled by other people perceptions on this business. In fact, I had been dancing in tune with those who had not set foot into the business, applauding and believing in their unsubstantiated views. Now, I choose to master my own life and not let others control and influence me.
