Secret of Success

“Sir, What is the secret of your success?” a reporter asked a bank president.

“Two words”

“And, Sir, what are they?”

“Right decisions”

“And how do you make right decisions?”

“One word.”

“And, sir, what is that?”

“Experience.”

“And how do you get Experience?”

“Two words”

“And, Sir, what are they?”

“Wrong decisions”

In order to be a success; we must take action to go after what we want. And along the way we will learn what works and what doesn’t work.

Many people know what they want in life; however their fears of making mistakes sometime are bigger than their desire to achieve. A voice inside them said “What if I am wrong?” sometime that little voice got so big that it stops them from moving forward to pursuit their dreams. And these dreams remain dreams forever.

The truth is no success ever happens without some mistakes. The secret to success is the ability to allow yourself to make the necessary mistakes in your journey to achievement. Adapt the philosophy of Imperfect Action is better than No Action and it will free you from the fear of mistakes. Remember you deserve to live your life - your way; with your mistakes and your victories, with the sweetness and bitterness, with the loves and the heart breaks, the highs and the lows and everything in between.

My definition of a life of success is to do the best I can with everything that I was given, and the only way to do that is to test out everything I got.

Certainly that reinforces your core message: Imperfect Action is better than No Action. Well said.

Beautiful.

I’m a fan of live and learn. I’m glad I don’t have to be perfect. It’s limiting and static. Growth is dynamic. I’ve learned that rather than try to fail less, I need to rebound more. If I’m not failing enough, I’m not testing enough. I like that failure is lessons and there’s no real failure until you give up.

Very true. Make mistakes and make them quickly! Some people hate mistakes- see them as failures when in fact they are simply a result. Ok, I will not do that next time, lets try this. Keep moving forward and you will find the answer! Thanks Giovanna for letting us know it is ok to make mistakes!
