All men and women want to be successful, but only a few can achieve it. It comes only with hard work and perseverance. If one is not prepared to put in the hard work, one shouldn’t expect to be successful. Unless one tries, one cannot succeed.
To know the value of time is also important to achieve success. It is said that time is money, loss of time means loss of opportunity. Apart from hard work, a successful person knows how to manage time. Life is short and one must not waste time. There is much to be done so one must make the best use of time.
It is also important to have a direction in life and to know your goal. We should choose our career very carefully. Instead of doing what others want us to do, we should select what is good for us. It is important to choose a path and concentrate all our energies in the direction we have chosen. It does not help to run after many things at the same time.
Sometimes, even if one is not very talented, one can succeed through determination and hard work. We have no control over luck or circumstances. But we certainly have control over how much hard work we can put in. We should do our best in every situation and not worry about the result. Usually that takes care of itself.
