If you are one of these, you wont make it to the top.

There are many kinds of people, I see them every day, some are hard-working, some are lazy, some are smart, some are stupid, and a few are miserable. But none of them know what they are, and when they know it, it will be too late.
It doesn't concern me what people are or what they do as long as they don't cross paths with me.
But being a blogger I must come up with something to write. And for some reason, Time, Hard Work, and Success are my favorite topics. I can speak on these topics for hours.

So I have gathered 3 reasons I believe why some people will fail, or won't grow in life.

1. Disrespecting Time

"Lost time is never found again" - Benjamin Franklin

Unsuccessful people don’t value their time. They are everywhere, anywhere, anytime because they lack the ability to dedicate their time towards their goals. And year after year they make new promises which never come to fruition simply because they couldn’t be bothered to put in the time required toward their goals. Time management skills, learning how to say no, and knowing what commitments to undertake, is a step towards great success in any area of our lives.

2. No Goals

“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” – Roy Disney

The more important a goal is, the higher it will be on your hierarchy of values and the more discipline and order you will have associated with it. The less important a goal is, the lower it will be on your hierarchy of values and the less discipline and more disorder you’ll have associated with it. Unsuccessful people have mistaken busyness for productivity. They are a part of everything but nothing which they do is in alignment with their values and their goals. Writing down in a journal your goals and implementing strategies that can get you there will help you identify things that are not on par with where you are going.

3. Making Excuses

“If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good” – Bill Gates

These are the people who will find reasons and logic as to why they can’t and why they shouldn’t. They sometimes mistake this abhorrent tendency for “just being realistic”. They lack imagination and always find ways to justify why something shouldn’t be but they never really try. The best remedy for this is to stop your mind when it’s about to start making excuses and re-ignite the engine that has started it all.

Then again, these are my personal opinions, Do whatever you want. It's your life.

Leadership Superpowers

Just like our body parts have different functions, the employees in an organization have different functions too. Some build, some test, some implement, some maintain etc etc. But most crucial and important role I believe is of the leader of the organization. I'm talking about the CEOs, Vice Presidents, people who matter and make decisions that millions of employee follow without any question. The Leader is the one who drives the complete work/project and delivers extraordinary results. The competition is very tough upstairs. Hence it is important for a leader to maintain the position and cut the revolt which may rise from inside or out. These people reach the heights through their natural talent and hard work. On their way to the top, they develop some powers which are must have to reach the throne and maintain the position. We can put these powers in many ways but I'll take 4 powers here as mentioned below.

1.) Intellectual Power
This is the power of knowledge which one develops throughout his career and keeps learning more and more. The highest paid executives are recognized on their knowledge basis. Ratan Tata also said, the most important thing is knowledge and the best part is, it is very easily available nowadays, thanks to internet. But one should be determined to have the knowledge and put every nerve in the body to learn it. The power of intellect helps the leader to make important decision and will develop an insightful approach towards the challenges he will face,

2.) Man Power
A leader must have resources. Employees are the man power, the higher the leadership role goes, the bigger man power he gets. Man power lets the leader accomplish bigger goals which are result of the team work. A huge dream/project requires a lot of hard work, with predefined goals and roles a good team can achieve miraculous targets.

3.) Financial Power
Financial power is something we all understand is mandatory.  A leader should have enough source of financial support in order to fulfill requirements of the staff and the organization. I wont write much in this part, everyone knows to run a business you need money.

4.) Power of enthusiasm and morale
This is the most important power a leader should have. The enthusiasm and morale drives employees to work twice as hard and deliver. The leader should not be too strict and not too lenient, the effect of a true leader lasts even after he is gone, workplace bullies should fear form him in his absence. The hard working people should be recognized and rewarded in order to do more. A true motivational leader can drive his team to do a lot more, it will lead to success for him and his team too.

Note :  If you deliver more than you are getting paid, eventually you will be paid more.

The key to success

There are a lot more than 6 billion people on our planet. But only few are successful and rest of us are trying hard to reach on the top. What's the difference between us and them ? Are they chosen ? Are they special ? Do they posses any kind of superpower ? I believe the answer to all these questions is NO.

So what makes them so different ? Well I am 23 years old, I have my own beliefs and I am just expressing myself here. But you will find the answer everywhere. Heard that story "Thirsty Crow" ?
I bet yes, what he wanted was water otherwise he would have died due to dehydration, So to be realistic he wanted to live and the thing that he needed the most at that point of time was water. It's a bird yet somehow in the story it figures out Archimedes' principle. It's just a bird and we were made believe in school that the birds figures out the law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.

It's just a story, there's no proof that such incident ever took place. We can say our ancestors used this story to teach us an important lesson. What's your takeaway from this story ? Intelligence ? Hardwork ? Well actually No. It's all about initiative, the bird had to do something, the bird initiated something. We all have many many ideas, but how many of them we actually implement ? The first and very basic step is to take initiative, no matter how big or small, just do something towards the thing you want to achieve.

You like that girl ?  Ask her out.
You scared of the dark ? Go in the dark.
You have problems ?  Do the RCA.

You want to achieve success ?
Think it through, generate ideas, run theory, then choose one idea and implement it.
Success, money are kinda big deals, so your initiative should be big to.
The bird needed water when he was thirsty.
We also need water, if we are thirsty we can figure out ways to drink water.
Let's change the basic idea, we are not thirsty, we need water like once twice a day to survive.
But we need to breathe every time, you don't breathe you don't live.

When you will feel the urge to get success like you do to breathe.
My friend you will realize your vision and you will become a successful person at that very moment.
