Decision,Discipline & Determination

I would like to share something which I recently read in Forbes Asia.
This is story about Wong Fong Fui – Singapore’s 37th richest man. He own Singapore’s oldest companies – Bousteadco Singapore. He has transformed the company now called Boustead Singapore, from a hodgepodge of mostly unprofitably business into a well-regarded provider of industrial engineering and infrastructure. What I’m interested more is his hunger of success. He born into a poor family in Johor. He became a rubber tapper at age 7. “Life was tough – all I saw every day was rubber trees and mosquitoes. My early objective was to escape and live in the city”, Wong says. He taught himself English by buying a dictionary and studying ten words a day. He woke up at 5 am each morning to listen to the BBC on the radio. He was accepted into secondary school after he wrote an essay, “My Store”. An excerpt: “ I tap rubber trees. I see rubber trees in the morning. I see rubber trees in the evening. I see rubber trees
every day, day in, day out. Rubber trees, rubber trees. I hate rubber trees”.
After I read this story, it makes me to wonder what actually determination can mean to someone. Its trigger me on Thomas Edison quotes:
The first requisite for success is
to apply your physical and mental
energies to one problem incessantly
without growing weary.
Decision, discipline and determination are keys for success.
There is one book by Brian Tracy -“Eat that Frog” which help on character building and steps to achieve goals in our lives.
I think that’s all for today snippet. I hope it is not boring as this is my first try.
I’m very excited and looking forward for healthy and encouraging comments.
Cheers.
