2011/12/16 Sleeping your way to the top

The road to success is full of obstacles and frustrations. Several factors and elements are required in order for one to beat all these challenges and reach the target. There are several steps on the way and each person has his own method of putting them into use. Take myself for example; there are three parts in my climb up to the peak of success. 

Step 1: Understand what you really want. What are the reasons that so many of us never reach our dreams? It’s possibly because we are not really sure about what we want. Or we don’t believe in ourselves that those dreams can really be fulfilled. So we grope in the dark and wander aimlessly in one path, wondering whether that the other path is a better one. While we can achieve a better result if we just focus on what’s on the table. Instead, we hesitate and drop the goal, and then we start looking for another one.

Step 2: Write a Plan. With a clear goal in mind, the next step to success is to write a plan. What are the steps and measures you need to do to achieve your goal? Take losing weight for example. Firstly you must be very specific about your plan. For instance, how many times should you exercise in a week? What's your diet like? There are also many similar cases in this area. How much sleep do you need? Do you want to have your own business? Should you study further? Having an action plan with specific goals and even deadlines will certainly make the path ahead clearer.

Step 3: Just do it. After the goals have been set and the plans made, the next important step to success is to take action. Sometimes we lost our way in the planning or we have made such beautiful plans, but we never really get around to doing it. The best way is to do it, no matter the consequences. Most who have led successful lives are people who have the courage to give their plan a shot. They have decided that the way to the top is to take action, and so do I. By following these three steps, I hope that I can “sleep” my way to the top and reach my goal. Even it means to sacrifice and to work extra hard, I won’t give up unless I have gave it a shot and tried my best.
