No Pain, No Gain

Are you included in those who want to be masters of success? Well, it’s not easy. You have to make sure it hurts.

When I was in secondary school, I thought the day I would write my English exam was my chance to relax or study for other subjects because I was blind. I didn’t know that English also needed practice like any other subject and I ended up failing it and passing other subjects.

If you want to be a successful student or a successful businessman, you must work harder towards your goals. You have to struggle for victory and you must have a strong will.

Nothing in life is easy, everything that leads to success will also give you pain. Discipline also goes hand-in-hand with success. Don’t always wait for tomorrow because they say ‘’tomorrow never comes’’.

Figure yourself out and think of what makes you happy. Think of who you want to be, not what but who.

There is a saying that goes “every master was once a disaster”, so everyone can succeed as long as they are willing to. Do not only think of what you want but act. You can think of anything but if you don’t act on it you will never achieve it.

Are you afraid to fail? Of course you can’t always win but don’t be afraid of making decisions. Are you willing to do what others cannot do? Let yourself be the first one to do it and pay no attention to those that say it can’t be done. Always listen to yourself and say ‘’yes I can”. Remember that you can’t climb the ladder to success with your hands in your pockets.

Give your undivided attention to what you want to achieve and you will move closer to your goals. Don’t forget that a successful life does not come from a silver plate but from enduring sleepless nights. Therefore work harder towards your goals to make your dreams a reality.
