RokZRooM Special ! You Can Win by Shiv Khera
Successful people are not looking for miracles or easy tasks. They seek courage and
strength to overcome obstacles. They look at what is left rather than what is lost. Wishes
don't come true; beliefs and expectations supported by conviction do. Prayers are only
answered when they are supported with courageous action. It is courage and character
that is the deadly combination for success. This is the difference between the ordinary
and the extraordinary.
When our minds are filled with courage we forget our fears and overcome obstacles.
Courage is not absence of fear but the overcoming of fear. Character (justice and
integrity) without courage is ineffective, whereas courage without character is oppression.
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Success is like baking a cake. Unless you have just the right recipe, it is not going to
work. The ingredients must be of the finest quality and in the right proportions. You can't
overtake it or undercook it. Once you have the right recipe and with practice and the
occasional disaster, it becomes a lot easier.
What is the difference between persistence and obstinacy? The difference is that
persistence represents a strong will and obstinacy represents a strong won't.
You have the recipe. To use it is your choice.
A CRASH COURSE FOR SUCCESS
♦ Play to win and not to lose.
♦ Learn from other people's mistakes.

♦ Always think long term.
