Success

May 22, 2009

Hi There. My name is Imraan Moosa :) Today we will be talking about success, and the meaning of success to people.

Let me ask you a question. What do you define as success?

Success is something different for each person. Some people measure success in terms of financial gains, while others simply measure success as happyness, family or contentment. We all strive for ’success’ in this modern world, but how do we ensure that our definition of success is met? What do we do to begin our journey of success? Where do we look for success?

These are all valid questions that we need to be asking ourselves in order to get onto the path of success. The first and most important rule that I would say is PERSEVERANCE. You never give up! Ever! No matter how down you are feeling, how many times you have failed, or how bad the outcome looks, you just never give up! People often look at their failures and give up, least realising how close they were to their actual goal. If they had just persevered, they would have not only attained their goal, but also learned a hell lot more!

Mistakes and failures are bound to happen. It is inevitable. After all, we are all just human. The thing is to look at the bigger picture in the face of it all. Get up, learn something from your mistake and continue with your journey. Always remember that nothing is as bad as it seems if you are willing to rise above it all.

Do not let other people talk you down or make you thing that what you are doing is not possible. Those people should be taken to a far away land and left there to drown in their sorrows. You are capable of any goal that you set for yourself, provided it is within the realms of reality and the universe :)

My advice to you right now, is to get a pen a piece of paper, and write down 10 goals that you would like to accomplish within this year. Think outside the box, DREAM! Now stick that piece of paper on your wall near a mirror, and every morning when you awake, read that list out-loud to yourself and do some little bit each day to make sure that your dreams become a reality.

You are the maker of your destiny!

Trump – Think BIG

May 22, 2009

I was recently browsing a book store in a local shopping mall, when I came across this interesting book called “Trump & Bill Zanker” – THINK BIG.

Now we all know who Donald Trump is, he needs no introduction. But for those unfamiliar with him, or his series ie: The Apprentice, he is the man of real estate. A man who reached great heights. When others saw failure as an end, he saw it as room for growth and learning. Donald Trump wrote this book together with Bill Zanker, who is the founder of The Learning Annex which is an online school for adults, allowing you to take classes in a wide range of different areas. Donald Trump played an important role in the life of Bill Zanker when he was starting The Learning Annex.

In this book, Think Big, Donald Trump & Bill Zanker share their knowledge on success, failure, how to see things from different angles, how to have burning passion and other tools that you will need if you have the desire to MAKE IT HAPPEN in both life and business.

This book has truely been an inspiration to me since the first page and I would highly recommend it to all young and old people out there. My suggestion is to leave your computer right now and proceed to your nearest book store to purchase this book.

We were all born for great things. We just need to find our greatness within.
