Quoting from [Firo]:Hello to you all,
I am sure there are a lot of members here, who after a lots of hard work feel like its not going anywhere. There even some who feel like what else they must do to get successful. Some have left many have come to try their lucks.
Business like in life, is a hard road, no matter what the upside is all of us have to go through the downside first.
Its tough to see reality compared to the vision one has initially starting up a business.
As time p , people settle, reality kicks in and some leave, realizing that thats not what they had hoped for, some stick to the current situation and come to an halt.
Yet there are some of us, who keep on going, despite the feeling that nothing is moving, that the roof is about to collapse above them. Like the family business ranging from Factories to small traders, who have invested more then what the output is, unexpectedly. Or other traders who have invested in goods which are stuck now, and no buyer in site, and the worst is when you actually think that the deal is through and end up having your goods stuck at the customs due to new resolutions around the globe, and end up paying a fine, lose the contract, and lost the goods.
Where to start again, what to do now?? Despite all this happenings there are some who keep going. And its them who eventually succeed, they have become hard and roughned up by all the troubles and misshappenings they have faced.
They have never asked themselfs where the success is, rather the only thing these struggling successful people ask themself is how to neverever let anything get them down again, thats all.
So as to say the Success lies in the Fear of not having to lose all that one poses, or the tiny bit hope that is left in the heart, not to dissappoint the family, the friends, or the fire burning in the heart to show the world that one is different.
Whatever it is, it lies in the Downside first, only through disappointment one finds his true path, but many of us leave by then, and keep on wondering what might have happened if they kept on going.
Whats your view of success??
Quoting from [OUYI ]:
In my eyes , success doesn't lie on how much wealth you have made ,but lies on how much progress you have made in your line ,and find your own position and self -value gradually . you can not get any where unless you stick to your line .
Hello Ouyi,
I totally aggree with you that success is not always wealth, but what it truly mean is to accomplish the things we wish for, ofcourse we all know that a wish in the most likely event will never become true. But all we can do is to try, and thats what counts, to keep on going where others give up, to keep on doing things where others don´t see anything, and to go beyond everything that others can imagine.
In a way success is to truly stick to what you believe in no matter what others say, and you gain success when others acknowledge it as well.
so all in all its acknowledgment from others, not wealth, not a big car, not a good business, but acknowledgement for the way we have chosen to walk.
don't you think?
whats your opinion

I just want to share you a nice words.
Don's count what you lost, instead cherish what you have and plan to gain. The past never returns but the future may still fulfill the loss. Always ask GOD for more blessing to come.

Hello people,
Its good to see that many of the members have a view point of success, as I can see many have strong connection with god and religion.
On this note I would like to just add, its good to believe in religion, since that is what gives you the foundation of honest work, but here is the problem In business its all the opposite.
Sometimes some of us face a situation that cannot be overcome without a lie, or a trick, or neglecting someones plead.
Before we can move beyond this step, one has to understand that the reality of business is a paradox, where a good person has to become the exact opposite to succeed, and yet stay good.
This can be achieved only through making sure that your customer is satisfied with what he got, and never gets a chance to complain.
If you make sure that your customer succeeds then you will to. So whatever you do, if it is harming someone then its wrong, but if its helping someone it is good (not only you that is).
Here is a passage I read in a Holy book of the Sikh's, "begging and pleading for money, to help others is not begging it is a good deed"
Hope this helps some of the members to overcome the guilt issues.
would like to hear more of your opinions.
Peace
What will I do if I lost everything now?
