keys to success 

In the previous post we discussed that "success is a state of mind ". while some people say success is more about hard work , some believe that is more related to "smart work ". Well what I believe is that success is a blend of "hard wok" with "smart work " i.e. to be successful you need to work hard with smartness . The terms success is based on two factors basically primary factor (hard work ) and secondary factor (smart work ) .



Hard work plus smart work .
Now let us examine the two factors individually and then we will try to conclude the matter by merging the two factors and building the actual action plan.


Primary factor - The Hard work
Hard work, though is effective for sorting out difficult situations, but is quite lengthy. Well, while growing up and taking lessons from life and books, you need to put in lots of efforts. This creates your base as a human being for the future. It also gives you the right platform, where you can expand your knowledge and gather experience. In accordance with the same, you can easily be led to success. Working harder on other occasions of life rather than just building the base does not give you the kind of results you deserve, rather is generally the waste of time and energy.
Hard work if done in right direction can build your desired life and if done in a opposite direction can lead your life to the gloomy path .
The main ingredients of hard work is self discipline and determination . To work hard you need to have a great self control to say no to things not conciling with your dream and need determination to follow your goal even if stones are thrown at you over and over again .

Secondary factor - The Smart work 
In cases where things never go right and you are criticized for your performance unnecessarily, it is normal for you to get frustrated. This is one of the instances when you have to work smarter. Being smart saves your time and enhances your accuracy, and the present world opens opportunities for the smarter professionals more than the hard workers. You are acting smart means that you are an organized and ethical person. It also helps you in preventing the chances to raise critical questions and complains against your efforts. In fact, it does not demand much of your efforts rather than making your brain do all the talking.
Working smart simply means taking pre planned steps , organising and analysing every aspect before making your move .


The actual action plan . 
It is not always possible for you to maintain both the aspects. But the point is that, working hard in the beginning makes you become a smart worker for the rest of your life. It is more like being experienced while doing something, and changing the course of the game in the next turn. While in the next turn, you will deliberately perform better and within a shorter period. In order to conclude, putting efforts makes you explore the whole platform, while creating a good chance for yourself the next instance you come back. Well, you come back with innovative skills which can show you the door to success easier and faster.


Many a time people also denote "luck or destiny" as a factor associated with success .That he did that ,he achieved that or he is at that position because he is luckier than me .
well I do agree luck plays an important part in life but ...

What is luck ?

Why do some people seem to get lucky breaks? We all know someone who "seems lucky" but what's their secret? Is it just a matter of sitting back and waiting for fortune to come knocking on your door or do you have to do something more to invite it in? Often people who see themselves as unfortunate tend to want to believe the success and fortune of others is just pure luck and nothing more. They themselves, they will tell you, simply have had no luck at all.
For people like this I just a have a single question "DID YOU PREPARE FOR LUCK ?"
Believe me when I tell you that so-called "lucky" people are definitely doing a great deal more than just existing and waiting for their lucky break!
These so called lucky people do some thing which other people fails to do -They Prepare
yes they prepare themselves for an opportunity that will help enhance their lives. They don't just sit and wait and hope; they actively pursue a goal and look for every opportunity to achieve it. Being in the right place at the right time is a planned strategy.
In reality the people who are "just lucky" in life are relentlessly persistent in their ambitious pursuits. The knowledge that they have to be ready for the right opportunity is part of their plans. They aren't startled by opportunity, they're prepared for it and are fully able to take advantage when the right one presents itself. These are the same types of people who refuse to let life just happen. They want to be in charge of their lives and being prepared for opportunity's knock on the door is one way they do it.
Luck is seems to have conjectural origin from the feeling of self confidence and self preparation .
luck is nothing but the probability that you will strike every time you get some thing from your comfort zone created by preparation done over the time .
So, we are the creator of our own luck and we are the one responsible for every time we get unlucky .
Now, you'll be surrounded by doubt what if I prepare my self well but didn't get the result due to some uncontrollable circumstances. for e.g. if you prepare well for your interview but you couldn't reach the venue on time due to traffic ,well here comes "destiny " into the picture .
Every time you face some uncontrollable circumstances , just remember one thing you are not meant for that , you deserve something much greater then what you expected .Although destiny plays only for 2% of the events of your life rest are all under you control .
remember the tag line of the block "every thin happens for a cause"
