Everything will not be under your control. You will fall, but you will have to get up again. "
I will tell the story of being alive -
An elderly mason wanted to retire from his job. So he went to his owner and said, 'Boss, I want to retire from building this house and spend time with my wife and children.'
His master was a little sad because he was the most skilled and hardworking mason. He said, 'OK, but will you help us build another house before we leave?' The old mason gladly agreed to the offer.
But after starting work, it was found that his mind was not there and he was always distracted by the thought of his retirement. He was always thinking of home. So this was the worst job he had ever done before.
When he had finished building the house, his owner came to see the house and handed the house key to the old man and said, 'This is your house from now on, my gift to you.'
The old man was sorry to hear this!
He thought to himself, 'AlasIf only I had known once that I was building my own house! That would be the best thing I've ever done! '
In fact, every day we make our life like this house. But we often forget that. And so in all things we try much less than our best, give much less work. If we can realize this truth today, then maybe we can give our best work.
Bill Gates gives ten sources of success
1. Get started as soon as possible: In old age ‘what could I not do in my youth!’ - this regret should not bother you. So Bill Gates has always said, ‘Get started.’ Maybe someone else will succeed in a few years by using the ‘idea’ you have in mind. If you start fulfilling your dreams from your student life, no matter what your chances of success are, at least there is less risk of giving up.
2. You have to give your best every day: Bill Gates says, ‘Life is not divided into semesters, that after ten weeks you will have the opportunity to correct mistakes. There’s no such thing as a “break” here. ’Therefore, you have to give your best every day.
3. Be your own boss: If you do not fulfill your dream, someone else will hire you to fulfill his dream. Instead, spend it on fulfilling your dreams.
4. Learn to say 'No': No matter how talented you are, you are not getting more than 24 hours a day. How to use these 24 hours makes the difference between successful and unsuccessful people. Bill Gates once said in a speech at Harvard University, ‘The best advice in life I got was from my friend Warren Buffett. "You have to know how to say no," he saidBill Gates thinks that sometimes being able to say "no" will help you stay focused.
5. Be committed, be convinced: All successful entrepreneurs have strongly recommended this. There must be love for the work you are doing. Successful people are in control of almost every single situation.
. Life is the best school, not an educational institution: no matter how many books you read, no matter how many exams you take in your educational life, these will never fully teach you how to face the challenges of real life. You have to learn from your own life.
. Don't lose hope: If you want to reach the goal, don't be pessimistic. Rather be optimistic all the time. In 2013, Bill Gates, a student at Stanford University, said, "Optimism often turns into false hope. But remember, there is something called "false frustration."
. Welcome Criticism: Bill Gates talks about the need for criticism in his book Business at the Speed of Thought. He believes that complaining and dissatisfaction give you a chance to do better. "Your most dissatisfied customers are the biggest source of learning for you," he wrote.
9. Calculate Success: In 2003, Bill Gates described what he learned from a book, The Most Powerful Idea in the World. "If you set a specific goal all the time and calculate how far you've come, you'll be able to stay afloat." He added, "The easier it is to say, the harder it is to do."
10. Life is not easy, accept it: no matter how hard you try, there will be a time when everything will not be to your liking. Everything will not be under your control. You will fall, but you will have to stand again.
