True True, it's all God's will not matter how hard man tries. sometimes when ppl who get success easily and they get interviewed, they will very arrogantly say,'lots of hardwork, planning, and intelligence, there is no short cut' when it was given to them on a platter, these ppl distort the truth.

(tought i hope not).. we can't have this kind of mind set i feel tat this kind of mindset will give us an excuse not to work hard.. y do u wan to work hard? [laugh] i believe hardwork proceeds naturally from interest, ppl who seemed to work hard are actually ppl who are passionate about what they doing and truly enjoy it. i also have seen ppl who work hard or seemed to work hard but they have no interest or inclination for the job, in the end their haqrd work screw up their company and their careers, to these ppl i say dun rush in like a mad bull, relax, seat back and find your niche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roborovskii 4th Gear November 21, 2009 Share November 21, 2009 Set low targets and you will always be successful Jokes aside, I believe too many people equate success in life solely on financial and material abundance. This leads to a neglect of values, emotional and social needs, health and the family. Personally I believe that a person is successful in life when he/she has a good healthy balance in all these key areas; finance just being only one part of the sum.

Stary Turbocharged November 21, 2009 Share November 21, 2009 old folks always say that how much material things we own in this life is already "planned" by destiny. i find it to be quite true. there are some people with little education but are successful. e,g Fandi, Zoe, Fann. if you are not destined to be successful, no amount of hard work will help. How do you know that Fandi, Zoe and Fann didn't work hard to be successful? IMO, people use this "destiny" mindset as an excuse to be lazy. The issue is that most people can't see how much hard work and sacrifices that these successful people put in. The only people who are really "destiny" type are those born with a rich father/mother. Now these don't really have to work hard......they just have to leech on their parents. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
