Never Give Up on Your Dreams - Learn from Failure and Keep Persisting
1. You Will Never Get Rich (Part 1)
“If you want to be rich, never give up. People tend to give up. If you have persistence, you will come out
ahead of most people. More importantly, you will learn. When you do something, you might fail. But
that’s not because you’re a failure. It’s because you have not learnt enough. Do it differently each time.
One day, you will do it right. Failure is your friend.” _Jordan Belfort
Today I have a good news and a bad news for you, the good news is that, “The person who was not
letting you to succeed, has died.” But the bad news is “That’s you”. It’s clear that you are not letting
yourself go on the edges where your success lies, yes it’s very uncommon most of people just don’t
know what their passion is. I was discussing with my friends what stops you to chase your dreams? One
of them replied. “No, not me chasing dreams, dreams are chasing me.” If you are going to deeply
analyze yourself, you must be willing to approach success, rather failure is a start, you may be willing
to climb tree, rather falling in first attempt. We always do what others did, never tried something new,
and especially we love to approach all shining things. Knowing that not all shining things are star.
Do what you love; Love what you DO because Every Failure is a SUCCESS.
Let’s learn together the charm of doing things with heart, but for this purpose I must have to tell you the
story of a guy who did what he loved.
There was a guy who had three different desires, the first one, he was a computer hardware geek, since
his childhood he tried to repair pc, and he was good at repairing computers, he always engaged himself
in computers finding something new. The second most powerful desire of becoming an actor, he
wanted to earn those fames and money, the third; he never wanted to deploy himself as a job person.
He chooses the most power desire to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor regardless having no prior
knowledge and experience of acting, he just wanted to be there as a Hero. What happens at that pace
when he goes to an audition, having portfolio in hand, gets a chance of acting in first attempt, when he
is called for an audition, he fails to act like a hero, and if he’s offered other role than being Hero he
refuses, he believes that he acts very professionally but in fact he’s not, he is expelled from that
audition. Gets the second chance and so on. At all he is rejected in all auditions and get frustrated,
makes his mind never to act again as he was humiliated in every audition.
“Pata nahi kahan kahan se uth ke ajate hai hero banne, shakal dekhi hai apni? Chal bhaag yahan se”
On the other side his family is against him, saying why don’t you do job. He’s having no interest in any
kind of job.
He intends what if I start my own business of computers, he discusses that idea with his family but again
his idea is refused. He had some money which was only Rs10, 000. In only ten thousand it’s really
impossible to start a business, especially computers. His desire was not bigger than being an actor
because he knew everything about computers.
2. The next day he goes to market to collect information about the prices of computers, goes to different
shops and gets their brochures. He discovers that one pc costs Rs8000 in retail market, he had
knowledge of computers he knew more about the spare parts, once again he went to market but this
time it was a scrap market he searched shops where he found scrap computers, he asked the
shopkeeper for how much do you sell one? The shop keeper replied Rs.1000 for one set. With an
intention of doing business he purchased 2 set and further invested Rs4000 to make them usable, now
he is having two computers ready to sale which cost him only Rs3000 per set. It was the time for him to
learn, how I can sell my product to market, if I were that guy I would have chosen to learn from my
favorite book Marketing Management by Philip Kotler. He did the same, and learned whatever he
wanted to be aware of launching his product to market. He got thousand pamphlet printed, and
distributed, with a cost of Rs900, he was very happy as he received only two phone calls, but no sell
order. He did that again, and his first computer sold in Rs5000. He kept doing the same thing, when his
family members saw his growing success; they suggested opening a shop and hiring a team, because he
was doing everything himself. He did the same and still he is growing his business, with more than 50
employees.
Now think for a while if that guy can operate home business and grows it, why not he can go beyond
limits, be the best company in country/world.
Think and Grow Rich
One should put forth the efforts in life as a measure of what you expect to have in life, no more and no
less. And this goes with the adage, the harder I work the more blessed I become. I believe the hardest
working people in life have less time to doubt their abilities, when they work extremely hard. Those that
put as much time and motivation in the preparation to win as they do in winning, then they build a path
to winning. Those that expect to win generally do. A person that has a mission in life will work harder
for two reasons, they know what they are working for and they believe in the outcomes.
Success is Effective and Efficient usage of time
The harder I work the luckier I get, is the principle of my life. I believe in Invisible Forces, the forces that
drive our emotions and feelings, in other words I call it resources and resourcefulness these both are
different. What we say resources is, decisions shape destiny, what is my focus here. The alternate way
by which, we get energies.
You are complete already, a product of universal abundance, so relax and enjoy life ... what you
desire will show up with less effort and no anxiety. When that guy allowed his awareness to do
only what he desired, thus maintaining his sense of true inspiration, he found himself less and less
attached to stuff.
3. Resources Resourcefulness
Time Creativity
Money Determination
Technology Love / Caring
Contact Curiosity
Experience Passion
Management Resolve
If you are deep inside water, after a while you come out what you do at that time, you come out and
take some fresh breaths ins and outs, (Haaa Haaa Haaa) no matter how you feel no matter what others
think. You just do it. The time which you must use to be successful you use it to be alive. And that’s it
the time, you use to become successful, you sacrifice what you are, to become what you want.
When every time you feel like dying without taking some fresh breaths, and do so, believe me you will
become successful. You must feel your success never give up, be successful.
The time which you must use to be successful you are using it on cell phone, if somebody calls you and
tells you the time which you must use to be successful you are using it on cell phone. You are not
yourself you are a liar. You keep telling yourself the time which you must use to be successful you are
using it on cell phone.
I believe in emotions I believe on feelings, I believe in resources, I believe in resourcefulness, because the
time which I must use to be successful I am using it on my success.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be. _William Shakespeare
