We all have heard that fortune favours brave but I
want to emphasize here that it also favours to those who are well prepared for
action. Any plan will not be converted into a real goal unless you are well
prepared for its execution. Don’t waste your precious time waiting for some
opportunity to come to you instead you prepare yourself so meticulously that
you can create opportunity. I will share one story with you. There were two
woodcutter Mr. Dora & Mr. Jhon. They were good friends with equal
capability. They were assigned job of making path through the jungle. Both of
them started cutting woods in the jungle. Mr. Dora was able to cut the jungle 3
times more in same time what Mr. Jhon was able to cut. Seeing the great
progress of his friend one day Mr. Jhon asked Mr. Dora “We both are working for
same time, we both are dedicated towards our work and we both are also working
hard. How come you are 3 times more productive that I am”. Mr. dora said” Look
my friend, everything is common between you and me but the only difference is
that after cutting woods for 2 hours I take time out and prepare myself for the
next round. I take time out and sharpen my axe”. Now, I am asking one question
to you how many times you take out time from your routine work and do some
value addition in yourself. Studies show that whatever learning happens in a
professional life is during the first 4- 5 years. Therefore, my friends if you
want to be in the top 5%, you will have to take some time out from your
profession and prepare yourself to enable fortune favours you. You do it for
few months and see the result yourself.
To
succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goals. A.P.J.

How can you make your dream your goal?
When it comes to goal setting, it should be divided into short term goals and long term goals. There is no such categorization which goals can be short term goals and which can be long term goals. You can keep those goals under short term which can be achieved in one year. Long term goals are your dreams. The goals that you want to achieve 2 years down the line or 5 years, 10 years or 20 years down the line. Goals like owning a beautiful house with beautiful garden having swimming pool, at calm or serene place, plenty of space to play with children and spouse, owning fleet of luxurious cars, owning stud farms, exotic vacation, optimum health, financial freedom, time to pursue recreation activiti…
