A start that gives success! - 7-Oct-2017
Just blindly following the approach of prominent successful person is not the right move towards any endeavor.
The reason is that the achiever would have planned his approach keeping in mind of his objective and his own ability. But, on the other hand our objective and our ability would be different. In this situation, we need to plan our approach keeping mind with our objective and ability. Maybe, we can pick out the good things from the approach of the achiever if it would go well with our approach after some deep thinking.
Certainly, we too can use few aspects of the approach used by the achiever if it would be good for us. But, just blindly following others approach will lead us to a dead end from where moving would be very difficult.
If a person possesses the right qualification, appropriate skills, works hard continuously in a particular, any problem coming in the path of success will flee away. I vouch on this!
Generally, mere interest alone to achieve is not enough. Instead should have comprehensive knowledge about the field and possess some skills related to the field. We should start putting in our efforts only after selecting such a type of field.
Would it be right if a person wanting to become a playback singer like SP.Balasubramaniam, but has a hoarse voice that is in no way close towards singing? A salesman requires good communication skill. But, how can one excel as a salesman, if he doesnt have that communication skill.
First of all let us find out the hidden talent within us. We need to select the area of our work or business after deep contemplation only if our inherent talent or skill would corroborate with the area of our work or business. Else, it would be useless. Only after making it very sure, we need to put in our efforts, skills and time.
In Tamil there is a proverb stating, if the first (beginning) is crooked, everything would be crooked. Here, first means the start or the beginning. In the first place, if we happen to choose the wrong field or business it would be utter waste of time/ resources/ effort,
Hence, we shall ensure to have a good start in the beginning itself. As success, is all about having the right start.
