Behind Every Successful Man There's A Lot Of Unsuccessful Years!

In Her Thoughts: Behind Every Successful Man There's A Lot Of Unsuccessful Years


Easy come, easy go is a cliché that I grew up more familiar with. I wasn’t in a position to understand what that phrase meant in the real world until experience taught me the hard way and left me with a testimony. It’s funny how quick we lose some of the things we get so easily in life. I took some time to think about what could possibly be the password to success and did my research on some of the multi-millionaires aroud the world and it turned out that hard work and resilience were written all over their faces. 

I reflected on how we get to complain when life demands us to work hard, we complain too much forgetting that attitude at the beginning has a positive effect on the results at the end. We fancy aptitude the most but it is a fact that attitude surpasses aptitude. This brought me to a better understanding that hard times are significant in our lives, and it is quite critical for one to determine the most appropriate way to address the time and that should never be disparity but vigilance, being more of a fluid thinker with a flexible approach and blending it in with some sort of hard work and focus to help you pull through. 

As you work hard don’t be rigid, gain positive knowledge from influential individuals so that you become smart. Smart people are not lazy but they do really work hard and whenever they are required to use their skills to make things easier they deliver. 

Would you agree with me if I’m to say that if you work towards achieving something in a way, you are massaging your ego as of when you are to achieve that thing? Food for thought. You can never cheat in an exam and be happy about your results, you might perhaps manage to pretend but shortly after, the inner man will gently remind you with a soft voice, “you know what you did in the exam.” 

There is no short cut to success and it’s a truism that successive dignity is preserved by hard work. Let us all feel challenged to make hard work a deeply embedded culture throughout our lives. The physics is simple, there has to be an input for an output to exist (that’s good music to my ears). Few words are many for the wise, see you at the top!!

    Luv the words, wish everyone could read them and understand. And I agree with you, achieving something, even the little steps, is uplifting and definitely massages the ego cause you feel better about yourself, it's a pat on the back.

    I totally agree! "There has to be input or an output to exist!" -- Even in this sometimes, I have to pull back and reorganize the input sometimes because I get distracted and lose sight of the long term goal. Just last night I was revisiting my goals for my blog and my career. Call it a quarterly review. It's especially necessary since some of my goals involved getting out and socializing more to create more content, now I need to shift gears. Thanks for these encouraging words in this post!

    Interesting and insightful post! Success definitely takes lots of hard work, I'm definitely one for planning and setting both short and long-term goals. As long as we keep moving, we'll get there eventually.

    Take care and stay safe,

I have in a fair share of relationships and it has been a hard journey of knowing how to show up for my partner/friends/family in ways they need me to vs ways I’m comfortable with.

Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u...

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and ...

Body Acceptance Chronicles: I Learnt To Love The Changes In My Body

📸 Marie-Michele Bouchard   Our little conversations always carry the weight I wish the eyes would acknowledge. We keep muttering and playing with our words: you are enough but, we can not seem to convince the mind. We grew up a chubby baby for most of our life, sly comments here and there, but that is what was familiar and defined us. As we blossomed, our love grew. The height balanced out weight, whilst the weight balanced out the boobs. We were picture perfect. A sudden extreme change in our relationship came with an untimely illness that complicated our relationship. I will not deny it. I had and still have difficulties paying attention. It was a stranger, and Mama taught me never to talk to strangers. It was new territory. I felt lost. People always whispered I should lose weight but what "should" have been a dream turned my life into a nightmare. Even after preparing, many people would still be surprised when the changes crop up. It was my reality. The changes in our bo...
