HARD WORK.

Any extra-ordinary results will inevitably involve extraordinary hard-work, an extra-ordinary mind-set and extra-ordinary circumstances .It can be considered fool-hardy and dare I say ridiculous to expect to produce excellent results from little or no effort ,doing the same things and expecting different results and with effort that can only be described as mediocre .If you want to be very successful you better understand that there will be hard-work ,roll your sleeves and be prepared to knuckle –down and do it. You need to cultivate a strong mental attitude which is prepared to endure the extra-ordinary effort required to accomplish your task. There is a price you have to pay to achieve anything substantial in life .A majority of lotto winners becoming instantly rich, will tell you stories of how much they spent buying tickets and for how long, before they stumbled on the winner finally. Besides ,they  had to put the effort ,going to purchase the ticket. They had to be in it to win it.

Stories of successful people in business ,sport and the world of innovation and discovery are hardly stories of luck. They will tell you  how hard they had to work very hard ,how they learnt how to endure the  gruesome good old graft to finally get to where they are. It is stories of how they put in insane hours ,swollen ankles ,isolation and sweat .In fact ,where a bit of luck was involved they had already positioned themselves to receive and make good use of it. The musician works hard on their talent first ,polishing his art to a point of excellence and rehearsing for a ridiculous number of hours until he can play the music in his sleep. When he chances upon meeting a promoter who is prepared to sponsor him ,you and I will probably call it luck, but no! Let us not forget his effort.

Working very hard is what makes the difference in the quality of results. Demand a lot from yourself and then go for it as if your whole life depends on it-and sometimes it may .Be ready for back –breaking  hard-work and when it gives you pain ,embrace it as the price you have to pay for your success.

So ,you want to go for it, work real hard to get it.
