Relationships are so perfect when
they begin. That’s life. When you are a kid, everything seems
possible. As an adult, you realize that
the sky isn’t the limit, it’s the amount of work put in, or the lack there of,
that limits us.
Most times, the notion of following
our dreams sounds fantastic. To get
started, it takes guts with lots of faith and passion thrown in. It takes plain hard work to make a dream
successful. The time taken to master a
skill is the longest part of any task, and usually, the least exciting.
Following dream is every different
from following through with it. How we
perceive work and our attitude towards it, is often the deciding factor between
being a mediocre and an outstanding individual.
To be an
outstanding individual, we need to have the following mindset and practice:
1. Always
be in a competition
- With yourself
- having initiative
- doing more than required
- always trying to top our own game
- competing against old ideas to give it a fresh take
- be more efficient
2. Keep
doing the ordinary
- noting is mundane if we don’t see it
that way
3. Be
going – ho
- in life, there is always going to be
an unknown factor
- one of the biggest signs of
mediocrity is saying ‘’cannot’’ before we ever try
