The importance of showing up and following directions
There is a saying that the key to success is showing up and following directions. This sounds so simple, but you would be surprised how many people aren't successful because they don't do these two simple things. Of course, to be successful it also helps to be smart, have good ideas, get along with people, work hard, and have a little luck. But none of these things will make you successful unless you show up and follow directions. Maybe you have observed this in your own experience. The worker who doesn't show up for work and doesn't call in. The worker who always messes up orders because he/she doesn't follow the directions about how to prepare orders. This is also true in school. Usually, the students who do the best in class are the ones who attend class every day and follow the instructions for assignments. So we see the importance of process, understanding the process, and following the process all around us. And being there.

Success is never handed out, you must take it, but you don’t take it by force. You take success by becoming a successful person internally. When you succeed on the inside, by taking on the thoughts of a successful person, the results will show on the outside.
ReplyDeleteVery good points. There are a lot of sayings along these lines. Success is an inside job. If you think you can, you probably can. If you think you can't, you probably can't. To be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic. And so on!
