President Obama - Lessons of Success
I
really don't care too much when it comes to voting in the US
presidential elections because, frankly, I'm Canadian *smile*. But the
story of Obama is a modern day story of success that repeats again and
again for those who understand the principles of success.
Here are three of those principles based on Obama's rise to Presidency today…
One: Not everyone has to vote for you
A very successful man once said, "I don't know what the secret to
success is, but I do know the secret to failure: trying to please
everyone." You do NOT need everyone to vote for you, you need the
majority (and in the case of entrepreneurs, a small minority is enough
to make you a million bucks).
Stop trying to cater to everyone. Don't try to please old and young,
rich and poor, Republicans and Democrats… focus instead on those who
will vote for you in life. Take care of them, and they'll take care of
you.
Two: Just because no one has done it in the past, doesn't mean it cannot be done
When setting out on your goals, you may not find anyone who has done
what you are planning to do. You may incorrectly come to the conclusion
that it cannot be done because of the past history. But remember: every
creation of Allah has a beginning.
And once it has been done once, it will be easy to duplicate.
If your dreams are something that hasn't been done before, then let
me give you the glad tidings that when you succeed, in sha Allah, your
victory will give "permission" for other leaders to imagine what is
possible.
Three: Don't listen to the nay-Sayers
I was listening, last year, to "experts" commenting on the presidential
election, and I distinctly remember the "expert" explicitly point out
how America would never ever elect an African American to be their
President.
I wonder what that "expert" is saying now.
Take intelligent counsel but always put your heart into what you are
doing. In the end, if you open your mind and listen to your heart… you
can't go wrong, in sha Allah.
