Life
is a game and it has its own rules. So is success. But unlike most games in
which you get penalized, breaking the established rules of success and life may
be what you need to hit a jackpot. The only problem is that, there is no
guarantee that breaking the rules, following the rules or following your heart
will guarantee you success in life.
“Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.”
-Henry Ford
But
there is a way to totally rig the game in your favor. And that is to keep
playing. You can never be certain of getting whatever you want unless you keep
playing. Unless you manage to stand up each and every time you fall and unless
you find your balance every time something trips you off, you can never really
be sure of success.
The
success stories of successful men in the world today are testament to this
fact. Every once in a while people experience setbacks and more often than not,
it is only by staying in the game that these people get to win big in the end.
Walt Disney’s first business went bankrupt. Abraham Lincoln failed far much
more times than any man could reasonably have persevered. Even Apple and Steve
Jobs faced their huddles along the way. And so has Bill Gates and Microsoft –
they have made super-blunders in some of the software they have come up with.
Simon Cowell, after experiencing a period of initial success, became bankrupt and
was forced to go back crawling to his mother’s house.
These
are just but a few of some of the most successful people in the world. There are
far much more success stories and many are still being written. And all of
these real-life stories show that the only way to be sure of success in life
and in business is to keep in the game. To keep on rolling with the punches and
to keep at it.
If
you fail, it doesn’t mean that it is over. If you experience setbacks, that is
just but a small bump on your way to success. Don’t let the little distractions
in life rob you of the success you deserve. Let them not rob you of the life
that you want. Don’t, simply because if you do, then your story of success will
never really be complete.
As
long as you can breathe and as long as you are alive, stay in the game. Keep
playing. This is the only way that you can be sure of success. It is the only
way to rig the game in your favor. So, keep playing – no matter what. Keep at
it, and you can be sure that life will have no other option but to give you all
that you want.
