#Part 3

Hallooooooo..... Welcome back to my blog everyone^^

I think you have know what will I discuss right now, right? Yaps, today is the last part of the book with the title “The Seven Keys to Success” that I will discuss right now. Are you feel so curious? If yes, please keep on my blog everyone^^

The Seven Keys to Success

There is No Failure

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing”-Denis Waitley

Yaps it’s right. If we will try something or we do something, surely we will experience failure first. Because in fact, there will be no person who when doing something will immediately succeed, surely they will experience a failure first. None of us like to fail and perhaps, more than anything else, it’s the fear of failing that holds many people back from defining their dream and going for it. Let’s face it, it is a lot easier to just go with the flow, turn up, get paid and settle for living a quiet, untroubled existence.

If we are dreaming big dreams, we are certain to have doubts about our own ability to succeed. But, at least, we don’t have to worry about the effort of trying and therefore, never have to face the prospect of failure. When going to do something, we will definitely think of 'What happens if later I fail?'. Yes, actually, that is indeed a reasonable question. But, if finally we do fail when trying something, always remember that staying flexible means being prepared to change our approach to produce the result we are after. In changing our route, we are not changing the goal. Failure can be an excellent teacher in this respect, provided we are prepared to learn the lessons and ensure we don’t repeat the same mistakes.

When we fail, as difficult as it may be, we should really welcome it. Of course, that’s not an easy thing to do, but that attitude does separate the winners from the lossers. There are so many stories of failure behind successful people, such as stories that are already popular are those of Thomas Alfa Edison. Yes, he is a Success Scientist who invented the light bulb that has experienced 99 failures. But at the 99th failure, did he felt hopeless and finally left the trial? Of course not. He kept trying to not repeat the same mistakes, until finally in the 100th trial he could successfully create a light bulb. That's why we have to believe that behind the failures that we experience, there is a wisdom in it. So, let's continue to fight and never feel hopeless^^

The Journey to Success

As our journey to success progresses, we will need to internalise the seven keys we have discussed. To internalise, means to make these principles a part of ourself and we do that by practise. If we want to be successful, our first priority should be to identify our own life-purpose. After we have identified our life-purpose, that we can possibly commit ourself to achieving it. After that, we can apply the qualities of presistence, flexibility and passion to the creation and execution of our plan, whilst developing a winning attitude that embraces open-mindedness, faith and thankfulness. If we want to be successful people, we also have to multiply associating with successful people.

“There is nothing more certain than the truth that you will achieve your dream if you first allow yourself to dream it and then, apply the principles that are outlined in this little book”-Will Edwards

Spiritual Principles

Our own personal growth and the process of becoming the person we need to be, in order to reach our goals, is a spiritual process that is fundamentally connected with finding and achieving our life-purpose. And that, Will Edwards personally believe, is God-given. Don't forget to always involve God in whatever we do.

Universal Principles

There are many universal principles that mentioned in this book, such as:

“Do the thing and you will be given the power.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Let me tell you the secret that has led to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.”-Louis Pasteur

“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.”-Willie Nelson

The Rest of Your Life

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”-Steve Jobs

We can make a difference, right where we are and in whatever line of business we choose to operate if we hold on to our vision and keep chipping away. As Steve Jobs so inshightfully said, we have to first believe we can change things. We must believe that we can and do achieving extraordinary things.

“So you already know, in your heart that you are unique. You are not only unique, you are talented too, even if you don’t think you are. You have at least one talent that makes you better than anyone else at some specific thing.”-Will Edwards

Changing the World

Sometimes, we may feel that there is just so much wrong with the world that we cannot possibly make a positive differences, but with doing whatever we can, we metaphorically become starfish throwers, changing the world one day at a time, one idea at a time, one act at a time. As Mother Theresa once so beautifully put it, “if you can’t feed a hundred people, thean feed just one.”

So, it’s the last session of reviewing this book. Thank you for reading my review. I hope, after you read this, you and I will be even more passionate about achieving our dreams. Keep fighting, never despair, always involve God in everything we do and do the seven keys to success that we discussed earlier. I also hope that hopefully we will all be successful people who can change the world for the better^^ KEEP FIGHTING EVERYONE^^ and I’m sorry if there are so many mistakes. 

See you again.

# Part 2

The 7 Keys to Success

Holllaaaaaaa....

How are you today? I hope you’re always fine^^

Do you still remember two keys to success that I have reviewed a week ago? Yaps, as I said before that I will review the book with the title is “The 7 Keys to Success” for 3 weeks later, so for today I will continue with the third until seventh keys to success. If you wanna know, please read it until finish^^

3. Presistence

Presistence is the act of continually pursuing something in spite of obstacles. In this part describe about if we want get a success, we must refusing to give up, especially when faced with oposition or difficulty.

According to Will Edwards, presistence is what drives you on take the next step in your journey; presistence is what prevents you from getting discouraged by what may have happened in the past; presistence is where the rubber meets the road. In this part, the writter also tell us about the book with the title ‘Touching the Void’  which describe about Joe Simpson recounts how he and his friend Simon Yates, climbed Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. From the Joe’s story, we can learn that in our journey to success, we also need to be resilient and presistent, especially at those times when everything might seem hopeless. We need to learn how to access that inner strength that we definitely possess, that makes we stronger than we think.

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”-Pooh

When we meet an obstacle, as we inevitably will, presistence determines what we will do; whether we will give up or keep going. Presistence is what gets we back on our feet, dusted down and ready to go again.

4. Flexibility

To become successful, we need to notice what is working, and what is not, and be prepared to change our approach in order to get what we want –that is the essence of flexibility.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”

In other words, if we continue doing exactly what we are now doing, then don’t be suprised when we don’t see any increase or change in our results. So, to get greater benefits in the future, we need to change what we are doing in the present in order to produce them.

As usual, in every chapter, the writter sometimes tell us about a story that can increase our spirit to get a successful life. In this chapter, the writter tell us about a story from Kevin Keegan, the famous footballer (soccer) and eventually manager of the English national team. Many people around him said that he would never become a footballer because he was not talented enough, he was not strong enough and he was too small. It would have been easy enough for him to just give up. But, what did Kevin actually do? Yaps it’s right, that there was nothing he could do about his height, so he worked on what he could. He worked on his physique until he built a strong, powerful frame and he also worked on his basic ball skills. And what happen to Kevin? Yaps, finally he got what he want. He success in his football team.

And Will Edwards said that, when he tell Kevin’s story at his workshop events and sometimes people will say something like this:

“What about all the people who tried and tried but still never made it?”

Will Edwards answer that Kevin was a winner and we too can become a winner. To become a winner, we need to inernalise the seven qualities that we are discussing right now.

If you really want to success, in whatever field of endeavour you are pursuing, you can have it. But you need to be prepared to work for it. Finding out and then doing whatever it takes, is the quality of flexibility.

5. Faith

Faith is strong belief in something without proof or evidence. There will be many people who will tell us that we will never, or simply cannot, achieve our dream. They are the 80% of people who once had a dream but have now settled for something less. But their experience of llife gradually ground them down and their dreams were relucantly put away. Those dreams still live somewhere, deep down within their hearts, but they no longer believe that they are achievable.

And in this chapter, the writter also tell us about a story from Glenn Cunningham. When Glenn was young, Glenn become trapped inside the school building when fire broke out. As a consequemce, he was very badly burned and it seemed that he would die from his injuries. But glenn survived, though unfortunately from his waist down, he was left completely paralysed. He always try everyday in order to can walk again. And finally he can walk again.

It is truly amazing what we can do when we believe in our own ability. That’s why we need faith –a deep down, dogged belief that, regardless of the evidence, we are going to make it! We are going to achieve what we have set out to accomplish. We are going to make a difference in this life.

6. Thankfulness

The laws of success tell us to cultivate a grateful attitude, but why should thankfulness affect our success?

It may be difficult, at first, to see exactly how thankfulness can be such an important key to our success, but by seeking to maintain an ‘attitude of gratitude’ we are indeed tapping into the timeless laws of success. On the other hand, having an attitude of gratitude impacts our countenance and our general outlook on life and people, generally, will prefer to work with happy, cheerful, grateful people rather than miserable, downcast, merchants of doom and gloom.

So, in this chapter tell us about that we must always thankfulness for whatever that we get.

“If you can learn to make gratitude a part of the way you live your life, you will be simply amazed st how the attitude of the people around you will change too”.

7. Passion

Will Edwards’ said that passion is youre heart’s one true desire or the deepest desire of your heart. Deep within our heart, there is a desire, the pursuit of which will bring you all the happiness, success and fulfilment we really want. So to find our passion is to identify our own unique purpose in life; to live our passion is to achieve what the author’s like to refer as the Deepest Desire of Your Heart.

In this chapter, the author tell us about a story from a poultry farmer. He placed an eagle’s egg in amongst his chickens to see what would happen. One of the chickens sat on the egg and nurtured it until it hatched and an eaglet was born. It grew up with the other chickens in the farmyard. One day a young eagle caught sight of a magnificent bird confidently soaring high in the sky, and he turned to an old rooster.

“What kind of bird is that?” a young eagle asked.

The old bird said “That is an eagle, the most powerful bird in the land.”

“I wish I could soar like that”

“But you can’t. He is an eagle and we are just chickens.”

And so, the eagle went back to startching the ground and he lived the rest of his life like a chicken, for that is what he believed he was.

So from that story, we can learn that we are an eagle. We were born to fly, we are destined to soar. We are called to achieve something important with our life. Don’t waste our opportunity.

So, that’s all of the chapter of the seven keys to success. What do you feel after you read the seven keys to success? Do you feel more excited to get your dream? I hope, after you read it, you can apply it in your life. And you must believe that we can get a successful life. Keep spirit, keep fighting and keep do your best.

For next week I still review about this book, so please keep stay tune on my blog. And I’m sorry if there are so many mistakes. Thank you for visiting my blog. See you later guys^^

THE SEVEN KEYS TO SUCCESS

Halloooooo welcome back to my blog everyone........

How are you today?

I hope you’re always fine^^

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be” -George Sheehan

Yapsss today, I would like to share you about the book that I’ve read about three days ago. When I saw the cover of this book and I read the title, I directly feel so interested with this book. So, if you’re also feel interested like me, please stay tune on my blog and read until finish^^

Title                 : The Seven Keys to Success

Writter            : Will Edwards

Page                : 60

Actually, this book have 12 chapters that 7 of 12 chapters discussed about the keys to success. Therefore, in about 3 weeks later, I will share you about the seven keys to success from this book on my blog. But for today, I will just discussed 2 chapters from 7 keys to success of this book, that are commitment and an open mind. Lets we discussed now........

Before I shared you about two chapters that I’ve mentioned before, I wanna tell you a little bit about the introduction of this book.

According to Will Edward, real satisfaction comes not only from achieving goals for their own sake, but by making contribution to society as a whole; by finding the one thing that really gets you excited, engages your talents and rewards you financially. Something that is truly worthy of your time and energy, that you enjoy doing; something you can take pride in doing, and that makes you feel good. A difficulty for many people is that they don’t see themselves as anything particularly special, and they don’t believe that life holds any real meaning. So, it can make someone feel unconfidence to start something and that’s actually can hinder someone’s success.

Because that cases, the purpose of this book is to challenge our thinking about what we are, why we are here, and the writter’s hope is that we will begin to see ourself as a special person, with a truly unique purpose in life. The writter also say that it’s time for we to wake-up! It’s time for we to start thinking of our life in different way. It’s time for we to fulfil our dream –whatever that may be.

After you read this introduction, are you feel more interested with this book and wanna know about all of this book? If yes, please wait me to share my review about this book during 3 weeks later......

1. Commitment

As we know, commitment is the act of binding yourself, intellectually or emotionally, to a definite course of action. In this chapter can help we to find our dream, develop it and then to actually achieve it. To get a truly successful life, we need to first have a dream. As Carl Sandburg, an American historian, poet and novelist, said that

“Nothing happens unless first a dream”.

The one of the real secrets of success is:

We should dream big dreams because we can have anything we want!

Yaps, it’s true. We can have anything we want, we can be anything we want to be and we can do anything we want to do. So, don’t afraid to have a big dream, because no one person who can forbid that. And after we have a dream, we must completely commit ourself to its ultimate fulfilment.

In this chapter there is also a story from Charles Lindbergh, he was the first person to fly the Atlantic solo. You know, what the first thing that he did? Yaps, he have a dream. He dream to being the first person to fly the Atlantic solo and he completely comitted himself to achieved that.

2. An Open Mind

Once we have committed ourself to achieving our dream, we should begin to notice something rather odd starting to happen in our life: the universe actually begins to help us to achieve it. So, we need to be open minded to get a successful life.

And in this chapter, there is also a story from Rudy Ruettiger. His dream was to play football for Notre Dame. Everyone told him it couldn’t be done. But, he have an open mind and this is how the universe helped him to achieve his dream.

“When you carry your own dream within, you too will be able to touch the hearts and minds of the people around you in much the same way and it is a truly wonderful and uplifting experience when you find out for yourself that the universe does indeed help you to achieve your goal” -Wll Edwards

I think that’s enough for today. And as I told you before, that during 3 weeks later, I wanna share you about this book until the end of the keys. Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you like my review about this book and I’m sorry if there are so many mistakes.

Goodbye

PETER PAN

Halooooooo welcome back to my blog everyone...

Today I wanna tell you about a new novel that I bought a week ago. So, if you wanna know about my novel, please stay tune...

 Title                 : PETER PAN

Writter            : J.M. Barrie

Page                : 232

“Second star to the right, and straight on til morning”

Peter is Peter Pan is a child who never grew up and his life is full of miracles on Neverland. He has an arrogant attitude that makes him both attractive and hated. Its ingenuity reminds us of the Kancil, the difference is that the writer is not ashamed to call Peter crafty. He also has severe forgetfulness, or maybe it is already fate for the real world and Neverland to forget each other.

In this book also describe about The Darling Family. The Darling family consists of Mr. Darling with high prestige, Mrs. Darling is as gentle as any other mother, and their three children: Wendy, John, and Michael. The family is served by Liza who they often call 'helpers' as well as Nana, a dog who is the caregiver of their children.

Three children in the Darling family: Wendy, Michael, and John, believe that Peter Pan is indeed there. Unfortunately, their father thought Peter was just their imagination. One day, when Mr. and Mrs. Darling went to dinner to No. 27. And children should sleep soundly. Peter came to look for the shadow that Nana had taken yesterday. His crying when he couldn't put up the shadow woke Wendy. Wendy then stitches the shadow and Peter teases her with the beauty of Neverland. John and Michael were awakened, they learned to fly and then before the parents wanted to prevent them from leaving, the stars blew the windows and they all flew to Neverland. In Neverland there was also Hook, a pirate who was always hostile to Peterpan.

In terms of stories, this story is very fun and tense. Not only about war but also about mother's affection. Where every child wants to have it even Peter himself, even though he doesn't realize it. I also like the moments of the Captain Hook's inner war which behind his cruelty still has little intention to behave well. The point of view is also very interesting, as if the reader has a role in the story. And the characters' unique characters make the story more colorful.

Thank you for your visiting on my blog and I’m sorry if there are so many mistakes.
