Not fair

You won't become successful by complaining that life is unfair. Certainly there are many injustices in the world, yet you won't get anywhere by using those injustices as excuses.

Your best response is to work over, under, around and through them. Accept the fact that life is unfair, and choose to experience outstanding success anyway.

It is admirable to fight against injustice. But fighting against injustice may very well make that injustice even stronger.

A better way to end injustice is to make it irrelevant. When you create ways for yourself and others to succeed in spite of unfair circumstances, then you render those circumstances powerless.

The world is filled with inequity and unfairness. And yet, there are always plenty of workable and creative ways to rise above those negative circumstances.

When something in life is unfair, choose to succeed anyway. And make that unfairness so small and insignificant it won't even matter.

-- Ralph Marston

Look back sometimes, but always look forward

What successful people does that makes them to move to the top? Well, observation says that they seldom look on the past, but rather they move on and accomplish things one step at a time. Looking back is what they reference to inspire people, telling them of the things they have to do especially in the times of rock-bottom event. Given the chance, I would love to hear Mr. John Gokongwei speak on his past, and how he was able to pull himself up as he is today. But what can I do? past is past and the only thing that I can do to follow his footstep is imagine that I am walking with him side by side.
