How to be successful

                       Success and the characteristics

Life is full of ups and downs, life is more than the journey of a thousand miles and there are so many obstacles in life.

The more advances in life brings more challenges and more of obstacles, a wise man once said "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." In a simple word only the fittest survives through the journey of success because the road to success is  very hollow, scary, rough and has no end.

Six characteristics of a successful person :

  • Cheerful giver
  • Patience
  • Makes decisions fast before time runs out 
  • Generous 
  • Humble
  • Helpful 
Cheerful giver:

A cheerful giver gives out when it's necessary and with a pure and free mind in happiness and joy, a cheerful never regrets giving out.
Giving out cheerfully could be out of the pity of the beneficiary's situation and could also be of a willingness to do so in a happy mood.

Patience:

Being able to accept or tolerate problems, delay or sufferings without being angry and anxious. Patience needs not to be anxious of the future or situation of things.

Make decisions fast before time runs out:

It is necessary to make decisions when there is still time just like a saying goes "Make hay while the sun shines."
The earlier decisions are made the more time spared to execute plans and make corrections even if there are any mistakes.

Generous:

showing a readiness to give more of something, especially money, than is strictly necessary or expected.

Humble:

The Power of Humility: Embracing the Strength in Being Humble

Humility – it's a word that often gets misunderstood. Many people think it means being weak or lacking confidence, but the truth is, humility is a sign of strength.

Being humble doesn't mean you lack self-worth or accomplishments. It means you don't need to shout about them from the rooftops. Humble people are those who acknowledge their achievements without feeling the need to brag.

Humility is about being grounded, empathetic, and willing to learn. It's about recognizing that we're all human, with flaws and imperfections.

Why Humility Matters:

1. Builds Stronger Relationships: Humble people are more likely to form deep, meaningful connections with others. They listen, empathize, and understand different perspectives.
2. Fosters Growth: When we're humble, we're more open to feedback and learning. We're not afraid to admit when we don't know something.
3. Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Not having to constantly project a perfect image can be incredibly liberating. Humble people tend to be more at peace.

Practicing Humility:

1. Listen More, Talk Less: Focus on understanding others rather than trying to be understood.
2. Acknowledge Others: Give credit where credit is due, and celebrate others' successes.
3. Stay Open-Minded: Be willing to learn from anyone, regardless of their background or status.

Humility's not about diminishing ourselves; it's about recognizing our place in the world. It's about being strong, yet gentle; confident, yet humble.

Helpful:

Being helpful is one of the coolest things you can do. When you're helpful, you're not just assisting someone, you're making a real difference in their life.

Helpfulness is contagious, you know? When you help someone, they feel seen, heard, and valued. And that feeling's infectious – it can brighten up an entire community.

Plus, being helpful can be super rewarding for you too. It gives you a sense of purpose, boosts your mood, and can even create new connections.


Live A Good Life.

Back On In The Middle Of Crisis

Back On In The Middle Of Crisis ( COVID-19 Pandemic )   After a very long time of unpublished articles, i am now forced to come back due to the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is to highlight some of the precautions and ways to help know if you're infected and not to spread further more, which i believe will help a lot in the spread of the ongoing global outbreak. But first, i believe there are still a lot of people that are still unaware of the ongoing outbreak  ( COVID-19 Pandemic ). If you ask me why, i have a lots of reasons for saying that and they are; Not everybody is literate, which may cause ignorance and lack of information. There are a large number of people with disabilities globally, and may cause lack of information and misunderstanding the ongoing outbreak. Children do not understand but can only experience the ongoing outbreak for future understanding.             ...
