I often hear people saying that they are not given the opportunities to prove themselves. In fact, I myself also share the same sentiment sometimes. 

Probably most of us feel that we have our potentials but just that we lack of luck as well as a mentor who could guide and help us.  

I read an article written by Marcus Ingemann who talks about the source of motivation. I find that what the author has said in his article is very motivational and meaningful. He quoted what Francis Bacon has said as follows :

The article is trying to tell people that you can expect to wait forever if you just wait for the right moment to happen. Thing might not turn out the way that you want it to be if you hope and wish for something to come true.

Meaning to say that there is a high possibility that you might not be getting it. Thus, it probably won’t get you anywhere. Whereas, the result will be different if a person is active in his or her strive to reach a goal. It will create a lot of possibilities and alternatives to realise any dream.

There comes the options and opportunities because you search out for them. They come because you create the right circumstances for them to appear. It will change and improve your life when you take action and start actively to achieving it.

A wise man creates more opportunities than he finds. How true it is!

I will let this motivational quote to sink down in my mind and start thinking what I really want to do to make my life better.

I read an article through a subscriber site and it says that the important factor of any success story is as follows :

How true it is! No victory happens by chance! I definitely agree with this motivational quote.

Of course, there are also some exceptional cases whereby the persons do not have to do anything and yet they can enjoy the victorious results. These people are just the lucky ones. But, how far can they depend on their luck? I just wouldn’t know.

Most if not all of the people have ever heard of success story. So, you can base on the success story to track down the key elements that lead to triumph. 

These key elements are :

• At the end of the journey
• At the finishing line

What you need to do is to look back and see all the different routes, the twists and turns, that lead you to success. From that point, it becomes very obvious that your success didn’t happen by chance when you have reached your dream.

You can use this method to your advantage by knowing that your success is not determined by those haphazard events surrounding you. You can actually start calibrating your strive towards your goal.

You can search for those events that will lead to success. Alternatively, you can also create those events yourself. While doing your best to use the key elements mentioned above, you are actually speeding up the process of achieving your goals in no time. 

So, remember this : “No victory happens by chance!“.

I love interesting and meaningful quotes since I was a student. Quotes are usually short and sharp. Sometimes, a simple sentence is more than enough to paint a beautiful picture or to tell a great story. It is usually full of wisdom and full of philosophy.

Here is a quote from Confucius :

This is one of my favourite quotes. I like it because it spires me to write down things or ideas that come to my mind before they are gone forever. It helps me in my work to jot down important points in my handbook in case I forget about it the next moment.

Many a times, my colleagues or counter-parts would tell me that it is not necessary for them to write something down during training because they can use their brain to remember it. Fine, I just shrug my shoulders and let them be.

Guess what? Many of my colleagues cannot remember what they have learned during the training when it comes to the practical test setup. They still need to refer to my handbook for the test procedure and steps. Suddenly, my handbook comes in handy to make their work easier and more efficient.

Otherwise, my colleagues would have to crack their head if they were to solely rely on their supposedly very powerful memories to do their job.

I often feel that it is true that people can remember things well one day or three days or even seven days from now. They may remember the things two weeks later. However, I can assure you that the memory fades faster that you can imagine one month down the road.

It is especially true and tough if a person’s age is catching up. So, don’t let your memory to betray you. Start the habit of writing something down. You will be glad that you did.

Therefore, we have to remember this sentence :

“The palest ink is more reliable than the most powerful memory.”

Thanks to Confucius for his excellent quote. It is full of wisdom, isn’t it?
