"The mediocre teacher tells. The
good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher
inspires." - William Arthur Ward
People come out with lots of formulae
but here is a formula that helps you achieve great success: Focus + Discipline
+ Action = Success
Nowadays people rarely find time to
focus as they are busy with other activities that are often unproductive and tempting.
The need of the hour is to focus on the
productive activities that help you in the long run. But focusing is not that easy as some people
have wavering minds. They find it tough to focus on a particular thing. When
you look at Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, he was highly focused. Once he
decided to focus on a particular activity, he did not shift his focus till he
completed it. Above all, he truly followed his passions. Secondly, he was
highly disciplined to accomplish his goals. He was unmoved by failures whenever
he innovated new things. He learnt lessons from failures and maintained total
discipline to achieve his goals. Thirdly, he took action. There are many people
who are focused and disciplined but lack in action. Remember, vision is ineffective without
communication, talent is ineffective without focus and systems, and systems are
ineffective without speed and agility.
Additionally, strive for excellence
and don’t settle for mediocrity. It is observed that some people are content
when they achieve their goals partly. It does no good in the long run. What you
must cultivate is to justify until the end to achieve excellence and greater
satisfaction. If you emphasize on the mediocrity you will be in the middle of
the road. When you want to cross the road to reach your goal, you must
emphasize on excellence.
“A fellow of mediocre talent will
remain a mediocrity, whether he travels or not; but one of superior talent
(which without impiety I cannot deny that I possess) will go to seed if he
always remains in the same place.” - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
