Success is good and very sweet, but to acquire success in life it is never found without a hitch. Success is the heart cry of every category of people; from nursery school pupils to top billionaire businessmen. On the other hand, this universally desiring quality may not be achieved by certain categories of people. Therefore, in my content today, I will be considering:
THE TWO SET OF PEOPLE THAT HARDLY SUCCEED IN LIFE:
Based on my observations and so many research, I has discovered the there are two categories of people who find it very difficult to make it in life, and they are;.
1. Fearful People
2. Lazy People
How hard it is for fearful people to succeed:
Fear, which is defined by Oxford advanced English dictionary as an unpleasant emotion caused by threat of danger or harm, has been the major reason why so many people find it very difficult to make success in life. This is because when someone is afraid, the person is completely paralyzed and can never think a right or logically. In the atmosphere of fear, the man may forget his direction and destination of life.
I personally defined fear as the foundational enemy of progress. This is because when you allow fear to get you down, it makes you to remain stagnant and to progress becomes very difficult for you.
Categories of fear!
1. Fear of future.
2. Fear of personalities.
3. Fear of unknown.
4. Fear of death.
FEAR OF FUTURE:
This is the most common aspect of fear that makes you think that tomorrow may be far much worsen than today. In this, it will make you not to think positively concerning the future. Then, you even find it difficult to invest for the future, thereby blocking and stopping your success.
FEAR OF PERSONALITIES:
This is another aspect of fear that makes a someone to miss his/her opportunities. This aspect of fear makes you to even miss people who would have helped you to achieve your life success. In this category of fear, the person find it difficult to approach or talk to people, either for academic matters, business matters and so on. This aspect of fear, makes the man to die in silence even when the solution to his/her problem is beside him.
FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN:
This is when a person fear what he/she have not even had knowledge of or encountered before. For instance, a student may hear people discussing about how hard further mathematics is, and only the discussion scared such a student, that he even begin to develop fear and hatred for the further mathematics although he/she wanted to study engineering in the University. Sometimes, you have not entered into a particular business, but fear of entering into that business grip you maybe because you heard people discussing about their failures in such a business.
FEAR OF DEATH:
This is the most dangerous, general category of fear that is displayed by every living creature. In this aspect of fear, the person is a life but he began to calculate the date of his death. When someone is under the influence of fear of death, the person will never see any need to invest on any business, because he is afraid of what will be his tomorrow and that very soon he may be with his ancestors although he is completely healthy. The truth is that everyone will leave this world one day, but another truth is that we still have life to live on earth. And the life on earth needs to be maintained and taking care of, and this can be achieved with money and money have never and can never come without a work or investment. Therefore, the death you fear today must come to you one day but before that, what were you able to achieve?.
Also, we have other aspects of fear like;
1. Academic fear: So many children and youths dropped out of school, not because their parents are not financially capable, but because of fear of exam failures.
2. Economic fear: This category of fear is synonymous with businessmen and women. Some quit their business and choose to stay idle because of fear of too many loses. They forgot that, a real businessman is a risk taker and nobody can venture into any business enterprise not until you are able to take risk.
3. Social fear: This is a common aspect of fear, in which the person finds it very difficult to interact with people. To this, the person looses so many opportunities that could have led to his/her success.
4. Digital fear: This the most common fear of the 21st century. So many people that cannot fit into the digital world where we are today, fears every aspect of digital ideas, methods and ways of doing things. Some see every aspect of digitalization as the opportunity for scammers and internet fraudsters to use their brain. Yes! those things exists, quit clear and alright. But not everything you see or hear in the internet or social media is from the cyber criminal. So many opportunities for your business and academic success may come from the right source, who don't have any intention of duping you, but you find out that because of the fear of digitalization, so many people hate social media and even discourage others not to join the growing digital world. In this, so many great opportunities are missed.
I will like to continue by taking you through the following characteristics of a fearful person, that are very inimical to the success of any individual:
1. They are intimidated in everything.
2. They appears ignominious in nature.
3. They find it difficult to ask questions, even from the closest source.
4. They can't speak out.
5. They can't socialize.
6. They can't express themselves, even in the midst of oppressions.
7. They always die in silence.
8. They feel helpless.
All these characteristics put together, is the major reason a fearful person is among the category of people who find it very difficult to succeed in life.
Thus, eliminating and letting fear to evaporate out of your thought, mentality and ideas, is the first step into your life full of success.
Another set of people that hardly succeed in life are;
LAZY PEOPLE:
Oxford English dictionary deed justice to the definition of laziness, when it stated that "laziness is a quality of being unwilling to work or use energy."
With this, you suppose to understand that, the success of a man has it's foundation on the work that man is currently doing, not even the one he is trying to start doing.
Then, what if you are unwilling to do any work, non matter how easy or simple the work may appear to be? it directly means that you are going to be defined as unwilling to succeed. The truth is that, in the history of a succeeded man, there must be a work done, that resulted to his success. Unfortunately, so many people want to attend the highest degree of success in life, without even a 0% willingness to do any work, and such people I rightly defined as success dreamers. Such people only end up testifying and promoting the success of other people, with no one to testify their own. Remember that laziness is different from taking rest. For instance, so many people love watching movies, that is good. But it can become laziness when you always use watching of movie to replace your work. This is because, the people your are paying prize of laziness to watch don't even sleep, in order to produce the movie you are watching, they understood the prize for success and they are paying it, that is why they are making their millions. But yourself, you end up watching them and laughing, even when you have serious works to do. In that, you remain in your hunger. Remember, I am not saying that it is wrong to watch movies, because those people are our people and we are their fans, myself you may not be watching movies more than me, because I use to deny myself sleep in the night to watch; Zuby Michael, Kelvin Book, Etiko Destiny, Mercy Johnson, Osita Iheme, Chinedu Ikedieze, Sylvester Mmadu, Linda Ejiofor and my other Nollywood actors and actresses. In fact I am one of their fans. But at the same time, I don't substitute my work for their movies otherwise, it will be laziness to my side, because they are making their own money and I need to make mine also.
Now, the following are the common characteristics of a lazy person, that makes him or her find it very difficult to succeed in life:
1. They hate work with passion.
2. Sleeping is their hobby.
3.They love gossip and embrace story telling.
4. They only like to eat and relax.
5. They enjoy roaming about the streets.
6. They are good in begging.
7. They don't like stressing themselves, to them it is suffering.
8. You can only see them in the pub (beer parlour) not at the workshop.
With all these characteristics, laziness has become the most powerful factor that frustrates the success of an individual, thus making it very difficult for a lazy man not to succeed in life.
Hence, it becomes very dangerous, devastating and ruinous for any man born on this 21st century to live these two types of life; Life of Fear and his Elderly brother Life of Laziness if actually that you cherish and earnestly desire success.
In summary, I will bring this content to an end by giving you these two set of success formula, so that you can see the impact of fear and laziness in the success on any individual.
Thus;
(Life + Fear) * Laziness = Failure**100 ---------->1
(Life - Fear) - Laziness = Successful Life ------------>2
Therefore;
1/2 = 0.5
Meaning that, if you add fear to your life it's product (result) with laziness is a totally failed life. That is, a life that failed completely without any achievement.
On the other hand, if you remove fear and laziness from your life, it's result is a successful life. That is, a life that was able to achieve a desired dream.
Finally, 1/2 = 0.5, it means that if you are fearful but not lazy, or you are lazy but not fearful, the probability of your success in life is just half. In that, you didn't live a completely fulfilled life.
So it is time to rise up in boldness to pursue your success without fear and I see you succeeding.
Just get up from your bed of laziness and pull off your garment of fear and match into the road of success, you will see that your final destination will be more than you expected. Remember that no one was created to be a failure, but don't change the purpose of your own creation by yourself.
We call it a day here.
