Philosophy Of Life

In some ways I’d say it is good to feel pain or else your life is not real, to live life without pain and hardships, makes you lazy and ordinary. No man has ever become great by sleeping all day long. To attain success pain must become a secondary objective and the goal to be achieved primary. Focus is most important, and that is when it does not matter whether you slept 2 hours or 8, or whether you ran 8km or 100m but what is important is whether you have achieved what you set out to do. Having said this we must not set our goals low, in order to gain satisfaction at having achieved it. Our goals must be reasonably high, if you aim for the stars you might at least land on the moon.
Richard Branson never imagined that being dyslexic and dropping out of school at a young age would prevent him from reaching where he wanted to. He set his heights on what others would have seen as impossible, but it is this high level of self belief that got him to where he is now.
When Ferdinand Piëch laid down 10 parameters in order to manufacture the VW Phaeton, half his engineers walked out believing those parameters were beyond possible. But today we see the Phaeton will all those parameters included, and still making it cheaper than the Mercedes S500.
To aim high and dream big is nothing wrong as long as you do not keep dreaming. Motivation, hard work, perspiration are all tools to achieve the impossible. Success comes with 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. To be inspired is not enough to put your talents to use and achieve your goals is what life is all about. It is better to die having being remembered as one who tried all his life to achieve his goal, that to die being remembered as a lazy fat person who tried all his life to think up a goal.
Impossible itself spells I am possible.
