150) Success Formula

150) What is the Formula for Success?

Zig Ziglar said that Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation. 

However, there is another ingredient that will make it even better. Here is my new formula:

Preparation + Opportunity + Appropriate Action = Success.

Success begins when you are Prepared to seize the Opportunity and take Appropriate Action.

To achieve Success is a journey. It is a continuous process and the path to Success is never a straight and easy way. That's the fun part of life.

Preparation is the continuous Learning & Planning. 

You get experience in all the activities you get involved in. Activities with all your senses. Doing, watching, listening, discussing, thinking, feelings and reading. 

Improve your KASH. Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habits.

  

 

Opportunity is result of your ability to see Possibilities. 

Dare to think and imagine the different outcomes. 

If the outcome is not good, think about possible solutions to turn it into better results.

Appropriate Action is the doing. 

Look at the situation and do the most Appropriate Action. Sometimes you need to take MASSIVE Actions. While sometimes, a small action will be good.

Sometimes doing nothing and waiting is the most appropriate action. 

Some things are best when left alone.

A chicken egg will grow itself into a baby chicken in 21 days. 

The baby chicken will die if you try to force the chicken out earlier.

You need all the 3 ingredients to be SUCCESSFUL.
If you have only 1 or 2, it will be harder to be Successful.

Let's say you are not prepared. An opportunity suddenly appears. You took the appropriate action to do something about the opportunity. Since, you are not prepared, your action could not produce the desired Success results.

Now, let's say you are prepared. You have learned and have the relevant experiences. However, no opportunity appears. You cannot do much if there is no opportunity.

On another scenario, you are prepared and an opportunity appears. But, you did not take the appropriate action. You just put a little effort, only tried once and gave up easily. You will not get the Success results.

In conclusion, all the 3 ingredients must be there, for you to start your journey to Success.
