HARD WORK

HARD WORK

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS

To achieve success and wealth price must be paid. This price is the hard work a person must do. This is a law of nature. Even the bible says that “ in the sweat of your face you must eat bread”.

Successful people have always had to put forth strenuous effort before they could succeed in life.

In this world there is nothing like a free lunch. There is nothing like easy success. Another major difference  between the unsuccessful and the unsuccessful is that, the rich are willing to pay the price needed to succeed and for as long as necessary. While the poor wish to be successful but are not willing to put in the effort needed to achieve wealth.

“the average person puts only 25 percent of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes of its hat to those who put in more than 50 percent of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and farbetween souls who devote 100 percent

Andrew Carnegie

Sometimes some people may seem like overnight successes, but, If you find out you will see that this people are merely ripping the rewards of years of  hard work and diligence.

The common mantra of the very successful people is “No Pain, No gain”. this means that a person must be willing to white knuckle his way to be successful.

There are millions of opportunities that can make a person very rich but to take advantage of this opportunities requires a great deal of hard work. If a person is willing to pay the price of hard work, more and more wealth creation opportunities will be opened.

George Bernard said “that the harder I work the more I live” and Ann landers said “opportunities are disguised  as hard work. So many people don’t recognize them”. when you work hard and rip the fruits of such hard work you  feel good about yourself, you feel happy and accomplished.

Action is the true key of success. one may dream about success, plan for success, set goals for success but if one does not take action to achieve the dreams, plans, goals all is of no value and worthless.

THE SECRET TO SUCCESS

The secret to success is embodied in the great law of causality or cause and effect. The law formulated by an ancient Greek philosopher.  It says that for every effect there is a cause. This law explains basically all of life. And why some people are successful and rich and others are unsuccessful and poor.

The law of cause and effect says that whatever effect you want just find out the cause. If you want success  simply find out what other successful people have done and do the same thing. This is the greatest secret of success.

If a person wants to go to a city he or she has to simply follow the road that leads to that city and he will end up in the city. To be successful is like traveling from one city to another city, The city of poverty to the city of riches and wealth. The road that leads to the city of riches and wealth is the application of the law of causality or cause and effect, the application of the laws of success discussed in this book.

The way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plane as the way to market it depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality. That is waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.

Benjamin Franklin

EAT THAT FROG

The book “Eat That Frog” Writing By Brian Tracy is a must read for anyone who is serious about succeeding in life. In the book Tracy gives two rules that can help anyone progress faster in every work of life.

1. Start with the biggest, hardest and most important task first.

2. Develop the lifelong habit of tackling your major task the first thing in the mourning.

The biggest, hardest and most important task is the ugliest frog you need to eat. Work at it when you are still fresh and strong in the mourning. Reschedule or delegate other less important tasks to other people.

Going by the 80/20 rule the hardest and most important  task and most productive is the 20 percent of activities that give you 80 percent of your results. Many people are not very productive in life because they don’t work on their most important and most difficult task first, instead they push it aside and focus on the less important task first. In sense they follow the 20/ 80 rule, they focus on the 80 percent of unimportant activities that only give them 20 percent of their results.

For example as an author, my 20 percent of activities that give 80 percent of my results is, thinking, writing, typing, editing, and mass producing. The other 80 percent of activities that give little or no result will be chatting with friends, surf the internet, play, watch TV, chase women (not that I chase women). I am not advocating a life of all work no play. What I am trying to say is that the most important work must be done first.

“Success is not something  that you just run into by accident. It takes a lot of preparation and character. Everyone likes to win, but  many people are not willing to put in the effort and time to prepare to win. It takes sacrifice and self-discipline. There is no substitute for hard work”.

Shiv Khera

Hard work is the price one has to pay to achieve success and wealth. I have said before and I will say it again, there is no “quick fix” to achieving success and wealth without hard work.

Many overweight people will like lose the weight, to have a slim attractive body. But, when you tell them about the exercise  they will have to do to burn the fat, they will refuse to do the exercise, and will prefer some magic tea or super fat burning tablet that they can take, than sit on their couch and then just lose weight overnight while they continue their sedentary lifestyle. And many companies prey on this by making products they claim will be a quick fix to the problem of being overweight to exploit such people.

THE SOLEM RESOLVE

The way to success and wealth has been revealed to you, the price has been shown. You have to resolve to pay this price, in terms of the needed hard work required to be successful. The roots of this hard work may be bitter but the fruits are sweet.

With hard work one must also add persistence this is the six law of success. This will be discussed in the next chapter.

“A little effort is the best replacement for excuses”

Donald Trump

SUMMARY

The price of success is hard work

More than hard work of just yourself, working hard with others is another powerful form of leverage. Just like thinking with other people.

In this life the mantra of the highly successful is “No pain, No gain”.

Most opportunities to make one rich are always hidden inside a need of people. But produced by hard wok.

 The secret of success is to follow the law of causality. Simply do what other honest and diligent successful people have done to succeed and you will too.

When you work always focus on your most difficult task.

There is no quick fix to success without hard work. Even God had to work hard for Six creative days before he created everything on earth.

Resolve to pay the full price of hard work to achieve success and wealth.

There is no substitute for hard work, no short cut to riches and wealth without hard work period.
