What If and Why Not?

Not Yet……is the phrase to be used when we lose. Pick yourself up to strive one more time rather than say, ‘I failed’. When the focus is winning and success, we lose. People who are oblivion of winning and work for excellence, with passion and love; the success knocks at their door at the time when least expected.

Best talents may remain hidden or be lost at the worst as they lack the grit to stumble and get up on the roadblocks on way to success. Lack of willingness to fail and start all over again is the root cause of failure not the absence of technical or life skills. All these skills are acquirable if you have the grit.

REMEMBER: To grow a carrot, the farmer must give it fertilizer, water, and soil—but must allow for the carrot to grow and spread its own roots; only this way can the carrot find its path to the most nutrients to ensure the strongest growth. Same goes for us, learn the right skills, acquire knowledge and strive but do not focus on winning all time, our failures have lessons for us that redirect our energies to our goal with greater vigor and bigger vision.

Be authentic than popular. Staying true to who you are, without compromise, is how you define success even if it means being misunderstood or marginalized.

What do we need to succeed? Great IQ, good EQ, great social & interpersonal skills …….nah , we need GRIT. What If and Why not? These are the questions that should be riding us towards our goals. It helps us to redefine who we are and what we do.
