25/07/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #5 Focus on Providing Value.

If you focus on providing value and forget about rewards, success will take care of itself ~ Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motors company.

How much value do you provide to the people around you? Are you the one your friends seek when they need guide or help on important stuffs? How valuable are you in the work place? If your team or group is to make a list of the 5 most valuable individuals, would your name be on the list? Or do you think it does not really matter?  Truth is, it really does matter in the end.

You must understand that success is a measure of how much value you provide, the higher your value, the higher you net worth. If you’re not that successful, it means you need to look for ways to be more useful, ways to provide more value, instead of working out new schemes to make money. It’s a different mindset, a less selfish and more effective one to attract success.

People pay for value not just product or faces. That is why a diamond and a gold ring can never sell at the same price. They are both rings, they are worn on the same finger but the difference in price is in the individual values that they have to offer.

Jane Goodall wrote ~ What you do makes a difference, you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Nothing makes you special or more significant if you can’t deliver a value higher than what the next man can. If he can deliver more value than you can, then….you can guess what might happen.

You want to be a success? Increase your value and you will be glad you did.

If you can only believe it, you can achieve it!

Have a lovely Friday!

I honour you!

24/07/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #4 Understand Obstacles.

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people ~ Randy Pausch.

When you experience set backs, delays and a lot of “NOs” in the pursuit of your goal or dream, they are meant for you to gain more experience and become better in that aspect, and giving time you will soon realize that you learnt more with that obstacles than you would have learnt naturally without it. It gives you an opportunity to reassess your strengths and weaknesses and seek ways of becoming better.

Albert Einstein said “Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them”.

Most people loathe obstacles and fear them. Such mindset makes it very hard to achieve success. Obstacles should be seen as helpful tools and relevant lessons.

I must also add, it could be one of the most frustrating and painful experience on the path of success, but if you just don’t give up, you will celebrate in the end of the day.

Learn what every obstacle has to teach, and see them as signs that you’re making progress.

Believe and you will get there.

Have a nice day.

I honour you!

I am your friend,
