POWER OF SUCCESS
There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.
- Orison Swett Marden

Every successful person has experienced countless temporary setbacks, obstacles, and even outright defeats, in the course of his or her life. But it has been the ability to respond positively and constructively to these defeats and to bounce back that ultimately has assured success. This quality of bouncing rather than breaking will determine your success as well.

Dr. Abraham Zaleznik of the Harvard Business School did a study some years ago on the role that disappointment plays in life. Many people had researched and written on motivation and its relationship to success. But Zaleznik was the first person who looked at the other side of the coin.

THINKING AHEAD
If you are a normal, intelligent person, you will organize each area of your life to avoid failure and disappointment as much as possible. You will think ahead and anticipate what could go wrong. You will then take the necessary precautions to guard against setbacks and problems.You will weigh and balance different options. You will select the course of action that offers the greatest likelihood of success.

Nonetheless, no matter how well you think and plan, things will not always turn out the way you expect. Murphy's Law says: ''Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Of all the things that can go wrong, the worst possible thing will go wrong at the worst possible time and cost the most amount of money.'' Cohen's Law then adds: ''Murphy was an optimist!''

Therefore, disappointment comes unbidden. Disappointment comes in spite of your best efforts to avoid it. Disappointment is inevitable and unavoidable. As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you are going to experience disappointments in life. And the more goals you set and the more things you try, the more difficulties and problems you will have.

THE ONE THING YOU CAN CONTROL

What Dr. Zaleznik discovered was that successful people respond to disappointment differently from unsuccessful people. His conclusion was that the way you deal with disappointment is an extremely good predictor of whether you will achieve success in your field, or in life overall.

Since you can't always avoid disappointment, no matter what you do, the only thing that matters is how you deal with the disappointment when it comes upon you, unwanted and unexpected. Do you let it overwhelm you? Do you blow up, become angry, and blame or attack other people? Or do you roll with the punches, and respond effectively?
Successful people deal with disappointment by taking it in stride. Unsuccessful people allow disappointment to stop them. Successful people recover and continue forward. Unsuccessful people often quit and go back. Motivational speaker Charlie Jones says, ''It's not how far you fall but how high you bounce that counts!''

KNOW WHOM YOU ARE
The quality of a person's life will be determined by the depth of their commitment to excellence, no matter what their chosen field.

The starting point of great accomplishment is for you to break loose from the mental bonds that hold you back. Dreaming big dreams and setting big goals provide the starting point of thinking, seeing, and feeling yourself to be capable of achieving far more than you ever have before.

How you think and feel about yourself is largely determined by how effective you feel you are in the important things you do, especially in your work or career. It is not possible for you to feel happy and confident as a person if you are not competent and capable in the areas of your life that are central to your personal identity.

One of the most powerful ways for you to change your thinking about yourself is for you to commit to excellence. It is to make the decision, right now, to be the best, to join the top 10 percent in your field, no matter how long it takes. The very act of thinking of yourself as potentially excellent at what you do actually changes your mind-set and improves your personality. It makes you happier and raises your self-esteem.You like and respect yourself more, just by deciding to be the best.

The market pays superior rewards only for superior performance.It pays average rewards for average performance, and below-average rewards, unemployment, and bankruptcy for below-average performance. Today, the race is on in every area.Your competitors are more capable and determined than they have ever been before, and will grow even more so next year, and the year after, and for the rest of your career. You have to run faster just to stay in the same place.

*SUCCESS MOTIVATION TODAY*

DON'T BE ERROR CONSCIOUS

If you read ‘Common mistakes in English’, you are likely to make more mistakes. Why? Because you will become mistake conscious.
On the other hand, if you read ‘A One' and 'Brighter Grammar’, this will be of great help to improving your grammar. Thus, your mind is a template; a powerful tool and a software program, executing a set of instructions stored consciously and unconsciously overtime.

Therefore; Unlearn how to make it in a hostile economy; start learning how to make it in a *'change economy!* Unlearn why things cannot work; start learning why it should/must work!Unlearn failing and its causes; *start learning success and its boosters!* Unlearn why people fail; *start learning why people succeed.* Unlearn to explain failure; *start learning to explore success!* And lastly, Isaac Peace summed it up saying, “unlearn how the witches and wizards afflict their victims, *learn the power of God that conquers the devil*”. ‘Garbage in garbage out’ versus ‘*good thinking good product’!* The choice is yours!

See you at the top and have a splendid day!
