Hey guys
I have been reading a book called “The Greatest Salesman in The World”. Now I haven’t finished reading the book yet, but I came across a quote that really spoke to me and so that’s why I decided to make this blog post. The quote I am referring to is, “Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough”.
I am generally a very patient person when it comes to some aspects of my life, however when it comes to work, I sometimes am not .This is because, I always want to succeed at something the first time I do it and if I don’t then I feel like a failure and I feel as though I have done something wrong. Even though it is a good thing I am ambitious, I can also sometimes come across as obsessively ambitious. What I mean by that is, when I don’t do something correctly or I mess up on something, it tends to be the only thing that I focus on for a while and can tend to drive me crazy. I very often must remind myself to focus on the things that I can control rather than the things that I cannot control.
Take call centres for example. They are constantly phoning people all day and most of the time people say no to them. Every time someone says no to them, they obviously don’t like it and maybe it brings their confidence down. Every now and then you have those certain people who even though they have failed a couple times, never give up. Those are the people that eventually end up selling the most products and become very successful salesman. I am still learning this lesson.
The moral of this story is, never give up because your success will come when you least expect it and then your life will change for the better.
Thank you for reading this post.
Bye xx
