Persevere

Indeed, not all people have the keys to success equally. A man looks at his body in a woman and sucks in his stomach several times, then realizes the horrific truth: My weight is increasing... According to his financial condition, he either decides to run daily or buy it for himself. An expensive training device: a bicycle or a rowing machine, then he decides to devote an hour to his fitness every day. On the first day, he is excited.. On the second day, he is determined.. On the third day, it is Egypt.. Then after two days, his enthusiasm fades, especially since he did not suddenly turn into Apollo, and that fat did not come off his stomach.. After two weeks, the bike turns into an elegant piece of decor. .. A memorial says that our friend was an athlete one day.. Years later, he hits his plump stomach and says to his comrades in sorrow. "Only if it were not for the busyness. If it were not for the busyness, I would give my body the exercise it deserves. Of course, busyness has nothing to do here. Whoever does not find a quarter of an hour of his time every day must be the ruler of the world. The only thing is the inability to persevere. As a rule, no one ever plays sports regularly." Unless it is his profession... that is, if he is a professional athlete, he will starve to death if he does not train. The average man gets excited 3 or 4 times and then forgets about it, because keeping up with something intangible is very boring and difficult. This applies to many other things... We have all tried saving money. Our childhood... put a penny in the piggy bank every day and after years you will be among the richest people in the world. We were all enthusiastic and continued doing that for a month or two, then the enthusiasm soon faded... and most importantly, you forget where the piggy bank is and the money in it is wasted. Stinginess is a reprehensible habit, but I do not deny it. My secret admiration is for the stingy people who can persevere in a habit, such as keeping the rest of the sandwich or boiling the leftover tea several times, and from this habit they make a fortune.. As for reading, it is a really important topic.. Most people have a vague idea of a day in which they read voraciously and become wonderful, but the problem is. This day will never come. Each of them collects tens and hundreds of books in his library, and he knows nothing about them except their covers. He decides every day to sit down and read for an hour a day. After a few months, he will be a true, undisputed intellectual. The result is that he reads the first three pages of three books... and then forgets the whole thing... but he always repeats while looking at the books longingly: “If it were not for being busy... if it were not for being busy, I would have read all of this.” And he never believes that he will not read... he remains like this. Until he grows old and his eyesight weakens, and the books are passed on to his heirs who will not read them either. Most of the projects (a Spanish word every day), (a verse every day), and (a quarter of an hour of training a day) always fail. Rasputin is the only successful example that brings me here. He followed the slogan (a dose of poison every day) until his body fought to accept doses of poison capable of killing an army. This is a successful man, and that is why everyone knows him. It is true that they shot him and threw his body into the frozen Volga River, so perhaps the poison was better for death for him. But this does not deny that he is a strong man. I know more than one person who decided to dive into the world of classical music, and so he bought a collection of recordings of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Haydn. He plays the first record and listens with amazement and enjoyment. He will become sophisticated. He will be a fan of classical music and its experts. After ten minutes, he will wander off. His mind... after a while he starts talking about other things... after five minutes he silences this noise... the next day he is too lazy to listen... after a month he has often deleted all these recordings and recorded (Shaaban Abdel Rahim) songs on them... persistence. ....The magic word that distinguishes those who have succeeded in life and those who have not achieved anything... The world is divided into those who are persistent and those who get bored quickly, and you can easily know my type if you know that I am tired of writing this article and I want to finish it immediately.
