Prepare to Succeed
People
are always thinking about success. This thought isn't one that brings them
closer, however, because thinking, dreaming or wishing just doesn't get it
done.
You may ask, “Why is preparation
necessary?”
The
easiest answer to this question is to say that if you are not ready to move
forward, then you may just as well keep doing what you have always done.
Success
doesn't come easy. Success requires you to be prepared to
sacrifice leisure time, or time spent watching television or going out with
friends, at every opportunity. Success means you are prepared to do whatever it
takes to constantly move the yardsticks (码尺)forward
day after day.
Here
is just one quote, from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the
United States, that expresses what preparation is about: “ It is rather the vital necessity of action
today to ensure our strength tomorrow.” This quote can be interpreted to mean
that you may have strength or confidence to start on your way right now to move
toward your final goal. However, it is also critical that committed action each
day builds to help you keep going when obstacles arise or when you just don't
feel like you have the interest or energy to stay focused.
That shows you what steps or actions
to take, when to take them or what to do if issues, obstacles or other life
issues get in the way.
The
bottom line is actually quite clear: You are either willing, able and committed
to achieve what you want, or you are simply dreaming or wishing that success
finds you.
A. There
are no shortcuts (捷径).
B. Success
is getting what you want.
C. Our
real problem is not our strength today.
D. Preparation
also means that you have a plan or a goal.
E. The
best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
F. It
is in their brains as they go about daily routines looking for something
better.
G. One
of the most important parts of personal or professional success is preparation.
