Once, after a concert, a participant from the audience came unto a great musician.
He said,
“I would
give my life to play the way you do.”
The musician replied, “I did”
Successful people believe that they will win and go the extra mile. They create small, wins everyday. They do more than they are paid for.
Winners do whatever they are supposed to do and then some more and then some more.Even small achievements require a lot of
focused thoughts and work.
You do not have to be highly intelligent or have high academic qualifications to
succeed. You only need to have a disposition to do more than required of you.
Have you ever thought, ‘why highly educated and highly qualified ones fail in life?’
They do not apply whatever they know in a focused way and they do not want to do more than required of them.
No wonder, the world is full of educated derelicts.
ALL SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE PERSISTENT UNTIL THEY SUCCEED.
Remember Edison failed 10,000 times before he succeeded in finding out the tungsten filament. Abraham Lincoln was a failure in almost everything he undertook. Still he became the president of USA and he succeeded in emancipating the blacks.

Winners overcome and bounce back when faced with difficulties. Losers don’t.
As the poet said,
“When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.”
Quitting is the easiest thing to do.
But if you persist you will win.
EVERYONE CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE THE BIG ONES. BUT ANYONE CAN EXCEL IN WHAT HE DOES.

Excellence comes when the worker takes pride in what he does. If he is working to make a living he will not do his work excellently.
As Martin Luther king mentioned in his famous speech,
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep the streets so well that the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, there lived a great sweeper who did his job well.”------- Martin Luther king.
All of us have the qualities of success. If anyone feels he does not then he does not want to succeed. You can be a Success in whatever field you are in. Just try to be like that street sweeper.
Big success involves a lot of risks. You may not know every step forward. You may not even know the faintest outline but still you make a calculated risk and move forward believing in your eventual success.
You may have heard about the farmer who never cultivated anything as he feared a drought might destroy his crop and kept his land barren.
There are those who worry about getting hurt if they go out. They will end up sitting indoors doing nothing.
If you are afraid to proceed to do something, the only way to overcome the same is to go and do it. Confidence comes by doing things. If you make a mistake along the way, admit it and correct yourself so that you do not repeat the same. Failure is certain if you repeat a few same mistakes.
You need a lot of discipline to succeed in anything. People without discipline indulge themselves in everything and they are not focused in anything. They are not moderate in their personal habits and they have
