Know Your Priorities
Many persons are very ambitious. They work very hard and enthusiastically in life to achieve their goals. They read a lot to enrich their knowledge and maintain good public relations. Still success eludes them for years or even decades. They try new ideas, make time tables, do sincere introspection. They are determined to succeed. Unfortunately nothing works for them.
What can be the reason? Even these persons explore the reasons again and again. Sometimes depression rattles their nerves and they huddle up on their chairs in sheer exasperation. Whenever they find something lacking they work hard to gain that. Soon they are back to square one and another round of introspection starts - mostly a vicious circle that never seems to end.
Probably the solution to their problem lies in redefining their priorities in life. In fact it should be the most important step of one's life. Without concentrating on priorities nobody has achieved any major success in life. To break this jinx they need to act in the following way:-
a) Write your goals, write deadlines
b) Read them daily
c) Make a daily to do list - keeping the priorities in mind
d) Remember that you have to be ready to lose something to gain something
e) What are my priorities? Ask this question from yourself whenever you have to choose out of two or more things.
f) Don’t try to make others happy by sacrificing your priorities. This tendency can often lead you towards failure and depression.
This is also the secret of success of most of the entrepreneurs. Dhirubhai Ambani, great Indian businessman who made Reliance the biggest oneman show in the country, also inculcated this success formula into the minds of his children.
Bill Gates didn’t waste his time in scores of activities which could disturb his focus. He knew his priorities and was hellbent to work for achievement in the field he liked - the secret behind his success.
Most of the people develop a tendency of wasting time on such activities which are not related to their aim. To enjoy simple funs of life or to keep others happy they indulge in gossips, watch television or movies, play indoor games like chess, roam with friends or relatives, explore the internet, learn a dozen unnecessary things, spend too much time in fruitless reading etc. Therefore they fail to achieve their aim. Success continues to elude them till they learn to follow their priorities in a determined way.
