Success doesn’t happen overnight, as it takes relentless effort to become a successful person. Successfulness, however can happen every time you achieve a goal. A successful person is one that aims to succeed in whatever subject or wherever they step whether in business or in their personal life.
As of August 2024, Elon Musk is considered one of the most successful people in the world because of his wealth and his leadership roles at Tesla, SpaceX, and other companies. Did he get there overnight? Of course not! It took years of continuous as well as consistent effort to get to where he is today.
Johann Sebastian Bach is considered by many to have been the greatest composer in the history of western music. Bach's main achievement lies in his synthesis and advanced development of the primary contrapuntal idiom of the late Baroque, and in the basic tunefulness of his thematic material. Did he get there overnight? Of course not? It took years of continuous as well as consistent effort to get to the level of success he was living.
If we talk about Abel Ferreira, it’s the same story. He might not have as much wealth as Elon Musk, but he is extremely successful considering he has brought eleven trophies to Palmeiras football club. Did he get there overnight? Of course not? It took years of continuous as well as consistent effort to get to where he is today.
Considering myself as successful, I might not have anywhere near as much money as other successful people, but I’m a winner. I aim for perfection, make the effort to produce and am prepared to invest my time into improving on a consistent footing.
If there is one thing that can enhance an outcome, it’s the opposite of halfhearted. In other words, a person who never gives up, and keeps trying until has the attitude of a winner.
Not settling for second best is unwavering commitment until success is achieved. Making adjustments to a formula then until it’s tweaked to perfection can only provide the right kind of stimulus to propel one forward.
Anyone can be successful in life. It isn’t exclusive to a few. Mistakes will be made, and knowledge and experience from endeavors can be achieved. Bounce back from failing and don’t give in.
From the outset of a dream, chipping away to perfect your idea and doing whatever is necessary to bring it to life is the answer. Chip away all through your life and live the dream!
Take care!
Prof. Carl Boniface
