The Difference between Success and Failure

It’s not goal setting in itself that makes the difference between success and failure.
True, there is some form of rigour involved in identifying what goals to set based on self-knowledge and future aspirations. But, the real decider is the DISCIPLINE to transmit those goals into action bits and the MENTAL FOCUS to stick to it in the face of several legitimate distractions and all forms of pressures to chill.
There lies the difference between the successful and those that merely came.

The Significant Others

Most human failures are catalysed by the failings of the significant others. If you observe that someone is drifting away from the ideal, then it is time to intensify your compassion rather than resort to criticism. People struggling need friendship, not alienation; they need engagement, not isolation.

Failure, Success and the Game of Life

Every system failure is traceable to man: some to the oversight of those who designed it, most to the carelessness of those who execute it, some to the incompetence of those who maintain it.
