SUCCESS IS LIFE'S CALCULATOR

By: Syed Mansoor Naqvi | PRESIDENT MBE

Why is success like a calculator? Have you ever thought about it? In a calculator you input numbers and effort and it gives you a correct and accurate result. The path to success is similar to this because if you put the correct inputs you will get the desired result. To explain this further, lets discuss the nine inputs I feel are necessary to achieve the results you want in your life.

1. Ideology | 2. Journey |3. Focus | 4. Cross Check | 5. Value | 6. Determination | 7. Classification | 8. Achievements | 9. Honesty

Whenever you start working on a task or project you have to focus on your idea and a thought about where you stand and why you want to go in a certain path towards execution of the idea. The only way to successfully complete your task or project is with the help of a set ideology.

Do not forget about the calculator, a journey is exactly like that. Every single step that you are traveling toward your dream you have to put your thoughts together. No matter how capable the calculator is, if you press the wrong button or take the wrong step in your journey, you will not be able to reach your desired destination.

When you are focusing on something regarding your life you have to draw a map and follow the direction. Focusing towards success is similar to when one feels hungry. They do whatever they can until they get food and cannot relax until they have eaten. In the same way you must remain focused until your work is done only then, can you relax.

Success doesn’t have to be limited to set long term goals or short term goals. On the path to success one can also test themselves at any time of the journey with multiple directions. These different directions can help one determine which is the best path to success.

Value is an important part of your journey because one should value every step of their journey towards success and not leave anything out. If you feel at any moment that you are losing the value with which you were suppose to get to by the end of the journey, then you should make corrections and go towards the right path. Value is something that no one can hand to you on a plate and is something that must be created and earned.

Determination is perhaps the most important aspect towards gaining success. Let me give you an example; If you want to become a business man and you have no funds, it does not mean you should give up. Your determination should help you find a solution for this roadblock.

When you are looking at success you have to classify what type of success you want to achieve. Whether it is success in your family life, business success or education success, the only way you will feel that you are successful is when you archive your life in all of these sectors and know what you want to succeed in.

Achievement is a gift of success but one must figure out what they are trying to achieve. If you know what you are setting out to achieve this will make it easier to achieve

If one does not remain honest with themselves and the ones they work with they are bound to come across roadblocks on their journey towards success. By being honest and righteous, your journey will surely be smoother. Honesty is also important once one has achieved success in order to maintain in the long run.
