“Success doesn’t make the person, the person makes the success. Whatever you get in life, be proud of it.”
I was reading an interview featuring Bernard Hopkins, who is gearing up to fight Roy Jones Jr this Saturday April 3rd, and towards the end of the interview he said the above quote. I’m not sure if he’s the orignator of the quote but his words definitely struck a chord with me. Too often people look for success and/or material things to define them. Instead of focusing on the end result of success, focus on what’s important to you. Success is a byproduct or your hard work and dedication. When you strive for your goals and put in the necessary work success is the end result. There are different levels of success but, at the end of the day who you are should not be affected by the level you reach.
“Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.”
If you pay attention or listen to a successful individual or individuals, you will probably notice that they pay close attention to detail. Some more than others but most successful individuals are meticulous about the smallest things which definitely contributes to their success. The concept is easy YPs but easily overlooked by individuals that are only able to see the big picture and not the small steps necessary to create that big picture. Understand YPs that the small things that Booker T. Washington is referring to are necessary or there will be no big things/success. It’s imperative that when pursuing Successville that you/we take our time and make sure that step 1 is given the same time and attention as step 5 is given. By paying close attention to detail and ensuring that each part of your foundation of your success is laid firmly success is in evitable. Be successful YPs and remember be great in everything you do!
