THOSE WHO DON'T TAKE CHANCES DON'T MAKE ADVANCES.....
People whose faith ran ahead of their minds have made all the great discoveries. Significant achievements have not been obtained by taking small risks on unimportant issues. Do not ever waste time planning, analyzing and risking on small ideas. It is always wise to spend more time on decisions that are irreversible and to spend less time on those that are reversible.
Aim high and take risks. The world's approach is to look to next year based on last year. We need to reach for the potential not be restricted by the past. Those who make great strides are those who take chances and plan toward the challenges of life.
Don't become so caught up in the small matters that you cannot take advantage of important opportunities. Most people spend their entire lives letting down buckets into empty wells and tgen waste their days trying to pull them up again.
Choose to dream big, to strive to reach the full potential of your calling. Choose to major on important issues of life, not on the unimportant. "If you are hunting rabbits in tiger country, you must keep your eyes peeled for tigers, but when you are hunting tigers, you can ignore the rabbits." There are plenty of tigers to go around. Do not be distracted by the rabbits of life. Set your sights on bigger game. If you want to see if you can really swim, don't frustrate yourself with shallow water.
Even a turtle doesn't get ahead unless he sticks his neck out. Dream big.
TRUISM THAT AREN'T TRUE
- The way to guarantee success is to work smarter not harder: This is a losing idea. You will find that effective leaders do both. They work smarter and they work harder.
- Activity is not accomplishment. Hard work is not results: We should not ask ourselves whether or not we're busy, but what we are busy about.
- Take care of things and they will take care of you: We should not take care, we should take country. If you don't take care of your own life, someone else will.
- Don't waste time: Although this truism expresses a good thought, it is really not accurate. When you waste your time, you waste your life.
- Practice makes perfect: No, perfect practice makes perfect. Wrong practice leads to wrong habits. Perfect practice leads to productive action. Make sure whatever you do in a regular basis is right.
Keep steeming!!!
