Over night success?

April 14, 2015 by Paddy

Tweet

This comes from the same stable as ‘ Become a millionaire by buying a ticket in a lottery’. Some people do win millions. Very few become a success over night. Hard work over many years is not currently fashionable. Also, if you become a success, you have peaked. You were probably a success at birth if you survived and will remain a success until you die. There is a risk that you will settle if you think you have made it. It is downhill once you have reached the top.

So keep up the hard work and don’t expect sudden success. Do the work, enjoy the journey if you can and move to the next goal. Don’t waste your time waiting for success and opportunity to visit you. They are always present. It’s funny that your luck improves the harder you work at your craft.
