Successful?How to become Successful?

The word is success is among one of the most favourites words in this society, everybody start to scream, yell, and do whatsoever in talking that they want success and a change in their current lifestyle. The fact remain many of them still be what they are or a little improvement compare to what they have now. Why majority after attending so many motivational courses that claim to be so motivated and powerful that will inspire them to become successful in very near future? There is no problem with the motivational speaker because they are extremely successful or else will not become the speaker, the problem remain with the human being, motivation is just state of mind where it will have a very short memory. The ummp!! factor will not last long if we don't continuously act in positive way to keep the momentum goin.
However, human being who don't have much patience that they can't cope with the pace and tonnes of sacrifices. Everybody sacrifice according to every individual BUT the question is why still not successful? We need to plan, strategize and create the opportunity and many more to win over the business BUT many human just do whatever they have in mind and wait for the problem to araise then only take a look into it.
For example, this morning while i'm driving to office at 6.30am i listen to one young man who claim emotional stress that he only have one last quarter of petrol on his car and need to drive to kl city to work, stress that the petrol will dried up and can't go to work, eventually he managed to get to his destination and now worry bout how he gonna drive back..Why is this happening? Who create the emotional stress and problem? Ain't the human being created this kind of stress? This is simplistic approach to solve the problem. Can't this man just pump RM 20 nearby before drive to kl city to avoid this stress. Ain't the solution simple? But human being is still human being, still like some kind of "excitement" in life that is unneccesary. Imagine, if we are on the way to meet a potential customer and this petrol become an issue? What is the consequences of stop halfway and unable to meet the customer? This is the difference between successful and unsuccessful, there is only a very thin margin that separate both category of people.
I want to successful in my career and life, thus i monitor others and become a reflective mirror to me that certain things i must follow and certain things i must avoid. Few days ago, when i'm back to Ipoh, there is an issue with "small contribution" towards for office maintainance, yet so many objections and reluctant from many parties, i paid rental monthly that i hardly used as i'm in kl and kuching nowadays, BUT a person who said they would like to achieve big this year but spend majority their time discussing on this issue. Time are badly wasted and the cost of time wasting is actually more than "the small contribution which is less than RM 10 monthly". What if you won over the conversation and no more contribution? How much time been lost? People criticize me for actually spoil the "regulation", yes let people criticize and said whatever they want, to be successful we need to dedicate lots of time into our career on how to build more business and continue to prosperevery year.
Ain't that funny when you see on one hand, they scream and yell they want to be successful BUT on the other hand they are allocating majority of the time on this minor issue that eventually this small contribution won't kill them anywhere. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Success is not that hard if we keep focus and doin the right thing all the time and life can be very meaningful and peaceful and spend quality time with your loves one and parents and the rest of the family. When we are successful we can buy whatever we want and eat whatever we want when we can afford everything. Ain't life is beautiful when we are rich and successful, i loves it so much. Yesterday, i'm with my client for lunch at kl city and the BMW 5 series he drove was my main attraction. It really a self automated motivation to me that i will get one myself and work until i can afford it in the shortest time possible. Inspiration is everywhere, just a matter how we perceive it.
Who said if we don't attend motivation courses all the time that we are lacking behind on latest info and we can't be motivated. Only once this year i stop joining after join almost every courses locally and internationally for past 6 years, yet people said i don't behave properly. I have a guru and mentor that i work with hand in hand almost every single day, that is what i wanted for a long long time, personal coach to develop me.
I met many of my clients here in kl and everyone of them are extremely successful, i'm so blessed and lucky to meet them and eventually become my client, continue to do the right thing and we will become as successful as they are. Believe you can do it and Action, stop spending time on unneccesary things and do the right things, we will have what we need in life. Life is short, cherish every moment of it.
May God bless all of us and take care.

William, I do agree on what you said...I do remember we did argue a lot of things during our mba classes....but now I do realized what I have done previously was wrong. If we want to success, we need to focus the future, small contribution that we gave out today may yield more in the future.....even double, triple and....in economics we called it as "multiplier effects"...haha...
