THEY SET THEIR STANDARD
One
of the vital things you can do in life is to ask yourself questions. It is the
questions you ask yourself that will lead you to the zenith you desire.
Questions are great propellants to remarkable discovery and creativity- they
force out the hidden abilities in us.
In
looking at the vital questions required for success, first consider this
question: WHAT IS YOUR STANDARD? Every man must have something he stands for.
IF YOU DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING, YOU WILL DEFINITELY FALL FOR ANYTHING. You
can breast the tape of greater achievement if you can raise your standard.
Many
a time, the reason why some people walk aimlessly in life is because they have
not set standards for themselves and have no constraining force that keeps them
under check. Know that there is a big difference between WHAT YOU ARE and WHAT
YOU CAN BE. You also need to ask yourself about the standard you set for
yourself- if a student sets for himself average standard concerning his
academics, he cannot get distinction because his ability to do the things that
requires for him to have a distinction is LIMITED TO HIS STANDARD
Here
are some tips (KISS) to follow to achieve that.
Ø Know
what you really want and do not confine
yourself to dictates of others
Ø Itemize
the procedures to get them
Ø Set
the actual standard you want to use as a benchmark, the trend you want it to
follow
Ø Sacrifice
and measure deviation(s) from the bench-standard so as to know your progress
Remember
that the standard by which a man’s life is governed is vital to his success,
progress and well-being. No man can get ahead of his standard. The key to change,
is change itself and things do not just happen as people think rather, it is
people that make things happen. If you want to go far and make any remarkable
difference in your generation, you must constantly operate on a high standard.
