# 5 Because we tend to
think that our ideas have been done better and multiple times before.
The best way to succeed is to persevere to the end
Perseverance is a major trait of successful people
There is a popular saying that goes like
this “there is nothing new under the sun.” Is there anything new that you want
to say or do, that has not been said before or someone else has not done before
you. So, dashing as it may seem, yet there is still room for a lot of improvement.
There are still opportunities to
discover a lot from the old ways of doing things and reinventing new methods.
Moreover, it could just be another form of translation or breaking it down in a
simpler term that is required.
Time is a very important factor for
growth!
DSTV Nigeria, started by only doing what
NTA could not give to the people. They brought the satellite dish and attached
lots of channels to it while you can still make use of the same TV that you
have in your sitting room. They were not afraid to start because of this other
FREE TV stations that are already in existence; instead they took courage and
started selling their own better and improved channels with
a satellite dish. And so, with time, they only got better and
better and their popularity grew with the affordability of their services. Who
could have imagined such a thing would happen to TV stations losing their
viewership just like that to the extent of being added up as part of the
subscribed channels of the DSTV.
You focus will set you apart.
What is it that you have and want to
give to the world that someone else or many others have started before you or
even doing far better than what you have at present? The secret of successful
people whose ideas seem better than what you may have now is just their focus
on these three things; their time, their consistent efforts and their
perseverance.
There more to the success stories.
Whenever we see the famous or successful
individuals or even companies, we never want to believe the story that it took
a lot of time before they got there. Funny enough when few of them tell
us they've spent years working in becoming who they are now, we don’t
really fancy such stories. And we just say don’t mind her or him they just only
cook up stories and expect us to believe it. Behind these stories is not just
little time spent on what they are doing but an endless time that any other
person with this same talents or gifts have not given to it.
The endless amount of time you spent on
improving yourself can make you a genius.
In short, to say it again, they really
work hard. Take for instance, the Bill Gate story; he worked out his entire ass
at the very beginning. He would often sneak out of their home through the
window in other to go to a computer lab at a nearby university, to keep working
on a big computer throughout the nights. According to his biography, he has
more exposure to computer then more than tens of computer professors in various
universities round the world as at that time. He would often stay on the
computer for hours upon hours throughout the nights, that lead to over ten
thousand hours of working on the computer that can make anybody a genius in any
field, according a famous research on what it takes to be a genius.
Time is the only guarantee to success
However, this is not to say that there
are no other factors that aided him in becoming successful but we cannot as
well deny the fact that the number of hours he invested on doing computer
programming, debugging and decoding and all of that gave him a big edge. The
time you’re spending on working on your ideas is what will make you different
from the others. What you need is just to pick up courage and give in all your
time and come see what you would have become after ten thousand hours of
investment of time and efforts. May be if you invest six hours per day then in
the next five years you would have reached the genius state. This is a fact
that has been proven in the lives of so many successful people around the
world. When you invest your time you will see what comes out of it.
Efforts count for a successful individual
Moreover, putting massive effort on
improving an idea that seems not good enough with those already existing can
make a lot of improvements. You have to spend lots of time in knowing the strengths
and weaknesses of the game players, and vice versa with your own ideas as well.
In doing this, you can know what to add or remove from your ideas. Therefore,
you can be more determined to come out with your own ideas, nevertheless all
these require time and effort put together. At some time you may feel as if all
your ideas has been watered down to be like the usual idea people are used
to.
Ask yourself some deep questions
I would only ask you to look inward and
ask yourself these following questions; am I really putting enough efforts in
developing my ideas? Am I working hard in other to exploit all the unforeseen
opportunities embedded in this single idea? Am I still practicing or have
reached the ten thousand hours of time? Am I really concentrating my efforts on
improving my ideas? I guess by the time you get the answer to any of these
questions, you should know what to do next.
The best way to succeed is to persevere to the end
More so you must not give up on your
ideas at any time because you are not measuring up to the already standard
existing. Truth, you cannot be better than what you are now if you do not
persevere on working on your ideas. In everything there is always someone,
somewhere, somehow, doing that same thing you intend to do. But it takes
courage to begin yours whether the idea is successful or not with the other
person(s) or company that are into it already. If the idea is very successful
you may have doubted feelings like would I be able to compete with this
successful person or company. Likewise if they are not successful you may worry
about your own chances of survival. However, the best way to succeed is to
persevere to the end, while giving all your time and effort into becoming
better and better, by the hour, day by day, months by month as well as year in
and year out.
Perseverance is a major trait of successful people
When you persevere, whether your idea is
already out or yet to come out; you must continually work on it. You must
always do it better than yesterday. This character of perseverance has been one
of the major underlying factors that unite your time and efforts that result to
success at the end of the day.
