MOTIVATION: Be Determined – Aiden Ambitz

Image
For hours, I have watched an ant picking sugar grains, go to and fro it home. On returning for another grain, I blocked its path, preventing it from getting to the grains. Frustrated, it tried climbing over the obstacle I set but realising that climbing over it was a waste of time, it came down and tried going around it. As I noticed that, I created a fence around the grains. Feeling fulfilled, I left it to roam around the fence I created. Hours later, I returned not to find the grains anymore but my barrier was intact. What could have happened? I looked closely, only to find a hole in the ground within the fence. The hole led to another opening outside the barrier. There, was the ant coming out with the last grain. That was when I realised the power of determination. Once your mind is set to achieving something, no matter what obstacle you face, you'll overcome it. If trying your regular ways doesn't work, try tackling it in a different way. Just like the...

Motivation: Improve Yourself – Aiden Ambitz

Image
A set of students (A) analyzing the failure in their results came to a conclusion that the exams was too difficult. They had their lecturer to blame for setting difficult questions. This is a quality of unsuccessful people; they blame someone for their failure. Another set of students (B) that took the same exams but passed, attributed their success to their hardwork. This set of students got themselves in a better position of getting a good result. They prepared for it, they made themselves better. Whereas, the set (A) students were unprepared, hoping the exams would be easy. And when the outcome didn't suit their wishes, they blamed the lecturer for it. This happens in everyday life; we tackle a problem, we fail at it and we look for someone or something to blame. We never considered we were never prepared to take on the task. We were simply hoping it would be easy. Don't wish it to be easy, rather wish you are better, thereby giving room for improvement. ...

Early Morning Secret

Early mornings are the best part of the day. They prepare you for the rest of the day and help you develop a positive mindset towards any task ahead. Successful people use this time to their advantage and start their day on a positive note. Late mornings, on the other hand, can make you feel weak, lazy, and easily irritable. The rest of the day can be slow, full of negativity, and with little to no achievements. This is because our mindset during the early hours of the day sets the tone for the rest of the day. The hour between 6am and 7am is a crucial time to feed and strengthen your mind against the day's negativity. If we miss this hour, our minds become more receptive to negative thoughts and self-doubts, leading to a loss of confidence in ourselves. By waking up early and meditating positively on the day's tasks during this period, we can approach any task with confidence and increase our chances of completing them successfully.

Forget The Challenge, Just Smile

A son once asked his father a question, "Dad, why do you keep smiling even when you are facing problems? You are supposed to be sad about it. Why is that?" The father replied, "Son, as a human being, I know it's normal to feel bad when challenges come your way. Yes, I do feel bad, but I smile because I know it's life's test. It is normal to face challenges in life. No matter how careful you try to be, you must encounter them." He continued, "What we don't realize is that it's not the challenges that matter, but rather how we react to them. You may decide to feel too bad about it, overthink it, get angry at the people involved, or mope over it. However, this does not solve the problem. There's a saying that goes, 'the more you concentrate on a problem, the greater you are making it become.'" The father then shared his two principles for dealing with challenges. He said, "When faced with a challenge, I ask myself two q...

Don't Give Up

Have you ever won a computer game? It's a feeling of accomplishment that rushes through you. You feel relieved and proud because you passed through difficult stages and succeeded at last. But getting to the end wasn't easy. The more levels you complete, the more complicated it becomes and the closer you get to the end. You may have failed at some levels, but you never gave up. Instead, you restarted the level and made sure not to make the same mistake again. You learned something from your failure. Just like in life, success is not a free passage. You have to work through stages like the game you won. The higher you get to attaining your goals, the more complicated it becomes. When you fail at some point in life, don't quit. Try again, but this time more intelligently and carefully, not repeating the mistakes you made before. Remember, we learn from our past mistakes. The end goal of your struggles is waiting for you. You won't get there if you give up. You become s...

Be Yourself

Let me share something with you that might surprise you. We all know how we were conceived. Out of a million sperm released to reach the egg, only one survives, and the rest died on the way. That one sperm that survived the race of millions is you! Amazingly, you won a race of a million competitors. But what happens now? Why do you feel inferior? Why do you feel like you have no purpose in life? Why do you feel like you can't reach the sky like others do? Is it because of people's opinions that make you feel and act that way? Remember when you were just a sperm, you had no open ears to anyone saying you can't win. Then you won. Why not close your ears to them now? If they realize that you are better than they are, and you will achieve more than they do, that is why they might discourage you and make you feel less important. But no matter what happens, remember that you won the greatest race ever. That alone is proof of your importance. So, be motivated and inspired. Don...

An entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business venture and assumes much of the associated risk.
