“People fear because in their mind they think that the worst may appear if they take any actions. So this will block them and finally they fail in their life.”

This is the crux of the paralysis that leads to failure.

It’s not ALL about fear of failure when you’re discussing ‘breaking out.’ There’s one other, important element that you need to consider:

Ask yourself – DO I WANT TO DO THIS EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS?

Does the biz idea you have sound like fun now? What about when it becomes actual, endless WORK? Is there enough upside to justify that new WORK you’ve chosen?

Most people never achieve success because the haven’t the driver and perseverence to do so. One last thing – Work smart, not so hard. No sense in trying to chop down the tree with a dull axe. Take the time to sharpen it.

Indeed, I believe that people should be living each day to the fullest. While yes, it does suck to fail in front of others, especially your peers, it really sucks when you are your own worst failure.

The worst that can happen is that the girl says no, you get rejected to Harvard, or you lose some money. Looking at it that way, there’s no reason for you NOT to take action.

I just resigned from my job as I have a personal belief that I can offer so much more to the world. The last 1 month has been frustrating looking for new jobs as people are not appreciative of my capabilities. I was a superstar at my previous job. In a single year, I personally brought in over $1 million dollars in revenues to my former company.

I am the type of person who gets very offended when someone turns me down for a job I am interviewing because I always feel that I am the best candidate.

Reading your article, gives me motivation to perhaps look into the possibility once again of opening my own business…..im still unsure about it because it may take $100K investment.

I want to see his state of mind then rather than when he surpassed it and came back on top. When he illustrate his emotion in retrospect, it may be fully altered to the real truth.

Give yourself some slack. I can tell you that you are quite self disciplined to do this each and every day.

Very much enjoyed the Steve Jobs talk.

People fear because in their mind they think that the worst may appear if he take any actions. So this will block them and finally they fail in their life.

Actually we know all the theories that we must overcome our fearless to take action and success. However, the problems are I many people still struggle with “FEAR” even they know they must overcome the FEAR. So practical and theory is different!

All these corny motivational speeches should be taken with a big bag of salt.

One one’s last day, one need not bother with saving money, job, following law.

That’ll quickly lead to misery and you would soon wish it was your last day.

sure, you’re bound to die sometime, and it could be soon, but you don’t want to do something now to screw up the rest of the time you have.

motivational speaking is great, so is being realistic – find the sweet spot in the middle, and make sure your decisions are the right ones.

Great post. I need motivation to “Just Do It!”

So… don’t live each day as if it was your last. Plan, schedule, and execute your ideas. Yeah, it’s so much harder, but life is more than catchy motivational phrases.

Great post!!
