BG’s Positively Speaking

The Way To Success

We Have all heard someone say, “Work hard, and you’ll succeed.” Let me say: DON’T BELIEVE IT, IT’S NOT TRUE! If hard work alone was the key to success, most working people would be outstandingly successful. Success is far more complicated than just working hard. Think about it for a moment, you can work as hard as you want at something, but if it’s the wrong thing, you will never be successful. The wrong thing done well is still the wrong thing. If what you are doing doesn’t take you where you want to go, then all that hard work will be for nothing. It doesn’t matter if you are employed by a business or are a business owner. We can all be more successful if we understand what makes people successful.

Let’s look at some of the critical ingredients that go into becoming successful. To start with, we need a goal, a dream that will give us a target to aim for. Then we need to formulate a plan of action to enable us to reach our goal. Finally, we add a considerable measure of ‘positive attitude’ to this mix. Followed up with healthy doses of patience, persistence and perseverance. We now have the essential ingredients for our future success. Now we need to go forward with determination and ….. HARD WORK. Other success elements are added as you grow, and they will help in attaining greater success. But now YOU know that …….

“If you have a dream, make a plan, have a positive attitude, be patient, persistent, persevere, determined and … WORK HARD, you will succeed.

Least Competent Criminal

The unidentified, eyeglass-wearing robber of an HSBC Bank in Long Island City, N.Y.,  fled empty-handed. Armed with a pistol and impatient with a slow teller, the man fired a shot into the ceiling to emphasize his seriousness. According to a police report, the gunshot panicked him as much as it did the others in the bank. He immediately ran out the door and into a waiting vehicle. He is now being sought by police.


Missed It

A busload of tourists arrives at Runnymede, just west of central London. They gather around the guide who says: “This is the spot where the barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta.” A guy at the front of the crowd asks: “When did that happen?” “1215,” answers the guide. The man looks at his watch and says: “Darn! Missed it by a half-hour.”


How?

I’m always amazed to hear of air crash victims so badly mutilated that they must be identified by their dental records. What I can’t understand is, if they don’t know who you are, how do they know who your dentist is?

Do You Know What Day It Is?

“I bet you don’t know what day this is,” said the wife to her husband as he made his way out the front door. The husband was perplexed but was always a quick thinker: “Of course I do, my dear. How could I forget!?” With that, he turned and rushed to catch the bus for work. At 10 AM, the doorbell rang, and when the woman opened the door, she was handed a box containing a dozen long-stemmed red roses. At 1 PM, a foil-wrapped, two-pound box of her favourite chocolates arrived. Later, a boutique delivered a designer dress. The woman couldn’t wait for her husband to come home. The husband was smug when he returned from work, satisfied that he had recovered what could have been a terrible situation. His wife was surprised: “First the flowers, then the chocolates and then the dress!” she exclaimed, “I’ve never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my life!”



Why Are You Crying?

Two guys were sitting outside a medical clinic. One of them was crying; tears were pouring down his face. The other guy asked, “Why are you crying?” The first one replied, “I came here for a blood test.” The second one asked, “So? Why are you crying? Are you afraid?”  The first guy replied, “No. Not that. During the blood test, they cut my finger.” Hearing this, the second guy started crying. The first one asked the other, “Why are you crying?”

Then the second guy replied, “I’ve come for a urine test.”


The Last Word?

Life is like an ice cream cone,
you just have to lick it one day at a time.
