A powerful writing to turn the corner of life.

A powerful writing to turn the corner of life.

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world," said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time.

.

Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCCESS Magazine, agreed and wrote a book called The Compound Effect, which was a New York Times bestseller.

.

This book has some great Key Ideas that can help us all make a Perfect Life Resolution.

.

Well said,

Which of the following acts as a root factor behind the success or failure of a person? Her childhood, how did she grow up, her environment or something else?

.

According to the author, the root factor is his own small choices.

.

There is only one thing in this whole world that we can control completely if we want to, that is our choice. And these choices are responsible for the outcome in every aspect of our lives.

.

If you wish, you can go to the gym after returning from the office or watch TV while lying on the sofa. If you want to, after a quarrel with your wife for any reason, you can forget everything and go back and hug her or indulge your ego and get out of there.

.

It is these small choices that determine the outcome of everything we do: whether you will be healthy or sick for the rest of your life, you will have a long and sweet relationship, or you will have to answer to your daughter why you divorced her mother.

.

But we don't pay much attention to such small choices, if I give you two options now: I will give you 1 taka now which will double every day for the next 1 month or I will give you 10 crores at once now; Then you would like to take any of these offers.

.

Most of the people, maybe almost all of them will take option number 2 i.e. 10 crores. Well then I left offer number 1 to myself. Let's see what the outcome is after 1 month.

.

After 5 days I have 16 rupees and you have 10 crores. After 10 days I have 512 rupees and you have that 10 crores. After 20 days I have 5,24,26 and you have that 10 crore rupees. You are having so much fun with so much money.

.

Now after 31 days you still have that 10 crores but I have 106,36,41,624 or 108 crores. Which is 10 times more than you buy.

.

Now it is understood why Einstein called the matter of Compound Interest the 8th Wonder of the World. Success also follows this pattern.

.

Darren Hardy says, "After 31 months or 31 years, the person who uses the positive nature of the compound effect appears to be an overnight success."

.

Let's look at the example of Rashed, Vijay, Jewel and three friends in the metaphorical sense. All three have grown up in the same environment, live in the same place and have the same income. And yes, let's say all three of them are married and everyone is having a little quarrel with his wife.

.

From the beginning of the new month or year, Rashed has always done what he does, because he thinks he is happy with it. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either.

.

On the other hand, Vijay made a Daily Checklist and started to bring some small Insignificant Positive Change in himself. E.g.-

1- Read 10 pages of a good book before going to bed every day.

2- Every day while going to or returning from the office, sitting in the car or watching a Self Help / Motivational video for 30 minutes at a convenient time.

3- Reduce 125 calories from your daily diet plan.

4- Drink at least 2 liters of extra water every day.

5- Walk 1 mile every day.

6- At least 2/1 people involved in business interests are called every day to inquire or improve the relationship.

7- Going out for dinner with his wife only 1 day per week.

.

On the other hand, Jewel started to bring some small Insignificant Negative Change. Such as:

1- Eat a little junk food for lunch every day.

2- Missing gym 3/4 days a week on the pretext of work pressure.

3- Eat 1 bottle of cold drinks every day when returning from office.

4- Closing the evening walk to watch favorite shows on TV.

5- Reducing official communication on the pretext of lack of time.

6- He also stopped going out with his wife on the pretext of being busy.

.

There was no difference between the 3 friends in the next 5 months. Same after 10 months. This time Vijay became a little frustrated. Because he had not yet seen any positive results, he somehow persisted, where Jewel continued to enjoy life by working less. And Rashed is also happy.

.

But after 25 months, all of a sudden, there was a big difference between them, and after 28 months, it became clearer.

.

And after 31 months the differences become poles apart.

.

Rashed now complains more about everyone. She feels bored and purposeless most of the time.

.

Jewel Rose gained 15 kg by eating a little junk food and skipping the gym, along with various ailments. Business conditions also deteriorated as a result of reduced communication. As a result, his financial situation deteriorated and his relationship with his wife deteriorated to the point of divorce.

.

Small negative changes compounded for 31 months brought a horrific result.

.

Now let's talk about victory. In these 31 months, he has watched about 50 books and 485 hours of useful videos in which both his Knowledge & Wisdom have increased many times over.

.

She lost just 125 calories a day and lost 15 kg by walking 1 mile, which is why she is still as slim and handsome as before. He drank only 2 liters of water per day and a total of about two thousand liters of water, which reduced the growth of many diseases within himself.

.

And with just two calls a day, he made a total of 1,700 calls so that the relationship improved and the business grew.

He took his wife to dinner only once a week and dated a total of 124 dinners, so that his wife was happy and their relationship was strengthened.

.

Strong insignificant changes compounded for 31 months brought an outstanding result for him.

.

.

But !!

If success is so straightforward and we all know the process, why do we fail to follow this formula?

.

According to the author there are four traps due to which we fail or cannot hold Consistency.

.

1- Starting Results Are Invisible

.

Imagine if you ate a burger today and woke up the next morning gaining 15 kg, would you ever eat a burger? Or if you smoke a cigarette today and wake up the next morning with throat cancer, would you ever dare to smoke a cigarette?

.

But the problem is that there is no change in the beginning. After a few months or a few years, all of a sudden, some terrible consequences come overnight, until there is no chance to stop it.

.

To escape this trap, you must always remember, "Every choice you make ignites a butterfly effect" means you have to be careful and take every choice with your mind.

.

2-Deceptiveness

.

If a plane going to Los Angeles gets off degree even 1 degree off, that plane will land at another island 150 miles away from Los Angeles. Now imagine if you too become only 1 degree Off Route in your life for 10 or 15 years, then where will you land in life!

.

It is very important to have a guideline to avoid it. Like a Daily Checklist that will help you stay on track like a footprint. This checklist will help you a lot to get back on track even if you are off track for a while for some reason.

.

3- Immediate Gratification

.

You have two options, you can have a hot chocolate cake after dinner or just 1 glass of water. You chose water and a friend of yours took cake. The friend happily ate the cake in front of your eyes. Meanwhile, you are just drinking water that has no taste at all. How do you feel then?

.

This is the trap!

If you look at the short term, you get nothing if you choose a good choice, but if you choose a bad choice, you get a lot of happiness and fun.

.

Which is a great paradox.

.

As Darren Hardy says,

"Short term pleasures create long term pains and short term pains create long term pleasures.

.

You have to suffer once in a lifetime, you can't skip it. There are two types of this pain: Pain of Discipline and Pain of regret.

But the hardships of discipline weigh only a few grams and the hardships of a few days where regret weighs a few tons and lasts a lifetime.

Now the choice is yours.

.

4- What is easy to do is also not easy to do.

.

Maintain checklist, drink only two bottles of water per day, walk 1 mile; These things are very easy to do.

Yes, it is easy, but it is also very difficult to do.

.

The author says that there is only one thing that is common among the people of Successful and Unsuccessful milk, none of them like to choose the best choice.

.

Yes, that's right!

No one likes to drink only tasteless water instead of hot chocolate cake, but successful people do it either by using their Will Power or their own Why Power.

.

As Mohammad Ali says,

"I hated every minute of training but I love being a world champion."

.

So to escape from this trap, you have to find out why. The more powerful this Why is, the more powerful you will be.

.

So prepare a Checklist on daily basis, which will guide you throughout the year to stay on the right track.

.

One thing is fixed that you can never escape from the compound effect, either u earn it or you pay for it.
