You can! Nothing is impossible!
Chapter 34: Planning
Nothing can help stabilize your mind like a fixed goal,
because it directs your mind in one direction. — Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
************************
The best discipline and
perhaps the only discipline that works is self-discipline. — Walter Kiechel III
************************
Nothing in this world is free.
Everything has its price.
To get what you want you have to be willing to pay the price,
and often upfront.
You can also do it “in installments” easier,
but you have to pay it off
to get full ownership of what you want.
Regularly set plans and goals in your clear mind.
Always think about them,
even when you eat,
when you sleep,
wherever you are.
Remember that if you do,
your subconscious mind can also be affected,
and thus continue to function while you are asleep.
Get rid of the things you don’t want
and focus only on the things that matter to you,
until your goal turns into a burning desire.
Again, you can do anything you believe you can do,
as long as your mind is fixed on it. — Napoleon Hill
************************
To achieve a certain goal,
you have two things to do:
the first is to make a complete plan,
the second is to start working on it.
Along the way,
you may discover mistakes
or omissions in your plan,
but don’t be discouraged.
Instead of giving up halfway,
patiently add, edit it and if necessary,
make a new plan
or call for help from those around you.
Victor Hugo once said,
“If you know how to plan the things
to do during the day
and follow that plan,
you will find a light to guide you forward.”
Indeed, successful people
is someone who knows how to plan his work and life
and constantly strive to accomplish them.
If they fail,
they understand that failure is temporary,
not complete.
It tells them that their plan isn’t perfect
and needs tweaking.
Only when you give up
and don’t want to try anymore will you really fail.
Millions of people in this world have lived in misery
and poverty
because they lack a proper plan
to be able to create success
and accumulate money for themselves.
James. J. Hill, the man
who built the greatest railroads in history,
had his first setback
when he tried to find funding
for his East-West railroad project.
But then he turned defeat into victory thanks to his new plans.
Hugh Chalmers,
originally an office worker,
became the general manager
of a national American cash register company
thanks to the same secret.
He always clearly plans for each of his goals
and constantly strives to achieve them.
The time you spend thinking
and planning your to-dos,
and putting them in a logical order,
is time that pays off.
A good leader must be one
who knows how to plan his work
and must execute those plans.
A leader who works only on feelings
without a realistic plan,
is like a ship without a rudder – sooner
or later it will hit a cliff.
That is why in order to build a solid building,
you must first have a detailed drawing
of the structure of the house.
Plan your life and work tirelessly to make it happen.
How great your success depends on the correctness
and meticulousness of your plan.
